2019-20 General Lightning Discussion

[Maelmoor]

I think you guys are reading too much into some comments from the player's. They are in a process, it will take a bit of time, it's not a smooth ride and yes we got to improve but I believe in the project and I can see no signs the players would feel otherwise.

The lines I've written 2 days ago.
Believe me: I've not called Cooper to suggest him this solution. xD xD xD xD

Looks like Heddy is back. Might be rushing him so he can play at home.

I just dont want the losing to continue. Im ok with them learning something new as long as theyre winning. They cant afford to fall behind. If theyre learning something for the playoffs and cant even get in? Thats a problem. I wouldnt be surprised to see them revert back to the way they played last year so that they can get some wins under their belt.

Those look better to me. Palat is playing well enough to get Stamkos some pucks, and Point and Johnson got Kuch going last year.

Gourde is going to struggle on 4th, but I like having some kind of scorer there. He and Paquette might combine for some good tenacious offense too. You never know.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Over $5 million cap hit for a 4th line right winger. This feels so 2018.

 

[Sky04]

Only been waiting for those lines since day 2 of the season.

 

[Master P]

They have no excuse not to win these next games in blowout fashion.

Damn I'm just hoping they can string together a few wins at this point...

With the short sample size we got I absolutely loved the chemistry and feel to Paquette and Gourde playing together.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Big ice should serve the Point line well.

Is it Olympic size?

or are we on special NHL size ice?

In case he'll play at home, I'm very happy for him.
I suppose he was waiting a lot this moment....

Totally agree with you.
To be honest, right now, imho these are the best lines we can have.
I hope to see 5-10 consecutive games with them.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Please don't play like shit now that we have some proper lines.

How much gum do you have access to? Going to need a lot to convince Coop.

Coop's going to try some artisan Swedish gum over there and get hooked. The import prices alone...

Maybe the swedish gum will knock some sense into him..

Snus is still legal there right?

 

[These Are The Days]

The guys are gonna look like total shit during these Global Series games and after I just know it. Too much time off is about as much of a hindrance to our performance as injuries are. At this point I'm ready to start yelling "pitter patter" from the damn rooftops

 

[T REX]

Boston and the Caps look pretty damn good while we are floundering. I know anyone can point to us last year about the "regular season" but we are few weeks away from being in serious trouble.

Maybe the boys will get into Surströmming.

That's where I order mine from

Someone tell Boston the regular season doesn't matter, why are they trying to score so much? Should be floating around and saving energy for the playoffs since they were cup finalists. Oh wait that only happens here.

 

[Boltswin]

Is that one of the terrible sounding fermented fish dishes?

As we learned last year, regular season really only matters if you got enough points to get into the playoffs. For me all that really matters is that we get in and are playing well when it matters. However as you pointed out, they are mattering more and more as we go because we might not get enough points to get into the playoffs at the rate we are going. Gotta start racking up wins.
