2019-20 General Lightning Discussion - Part 2: Charted Territory

[DistantThunderRep]

It's odd how nobody really brings it up about him.

Back to hockey talk.

The first line today is ugly.

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[Sky04]

That top unit is soooo much better with Hedman instead of Sergachev, he has all the skills to be an elite PP quarterback but his decision making on the PP is awful.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bolts spending a lot of time working special teams. Top priority for the moment

They needed it after the garbage pp last night

 

[Todd1a]

Let’s work out a deal with Seattle that for there expansion draft pick they select Tyler johnson and in return we will give them Jon cooper as there head coach !

 

[Stormbreaker]

Lock the PP units in Kuch's garage next.

that shot Kucherov hit last night was awesome I’ll give him that

 

[T REX]

This is coopers last stand

 

[TheFurryPickle]

This is coopers last stand

Why? because he lost the last 4 games in a row despite the fact he won like 21 out of the last 23 ???

 

[JoVel]

Pretty sure he means this whole season, especially the playoffs.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

espn had decent hockey write up here why moves made etc..

Anything less than the ECFs and the guy is a goner...100% gone

 

[Todd1a]

Anything less than the ECFs and the guy is a goner...100% gone

I still think even if he loses in round one Brisebois still wouldn’t fire cooper

 

[These Are The Days]

ECF? Cup or bust for this guy. We can't keep failing at this forever without changing the recipe

 

[The Gongshow]

Yeup. On paper this team is a cup contender when healthy. We cant keep wasting prime years of this core.

Its been cup or bust for a few years now. Either shake things up and get rid of some players (Johnson, Palat, Killorn) or get a new coach who will motivate his players.

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[DFC]

Tomorrow's game feels like the first legitimately big one of the year.

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

I like that second line with Coleman and Cirelli.

 

[BowDownToVasilevskiy]

Tomorrow's game feels like the first legitimately big one of the year.

It is going to be a pretty big test for our guys. Some people think that the Bruins are guaranteed to go to the ECF

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Honestly not too worried about the Bruins. I mean our roster is much better on paper, all projection models agree

 

[LightningStrikes]

Solid lines, wouldn’t change a thing.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

I want Coleman up with Point and Kucherov.

Coleman - Point - Kucherov
Gourde - Cirelli - Killorn
Palat - Goodrow - Johnson
Maroon - Stephens/Paquette - Verhaeghe

 

[Outl4w]

want Coleman up with Point and Kucherov. Coleman will definitely add some sandpaper and tenacity to the line.

 

[Sky04]

Tomorrow's game feels like the first legitimately big one of the year.

Why's that? There' nothing weighing on the game, W or L tomorrow doesn't have barring on anything. I wouldn't even consider it a benchmark game cause we play Boston well in general, it's the weaker teams I'd be worried about.
