That's obviously him in Stamkos's equipment. Some radio guy told me.

That just doesn't make any sense from my POV. You're not doing anyone any favors if you try to "save" him for an elimination game (or potential elimination game) only. Someone who hasn't played since February can't be thrust into the role of being the "savior". It's not fair to him and it gives the wrong impression. He needs to play as soon as he's ready to play, and if that time doesn't come, then I dunno what else to say but when we once again have completely run out of goal scoring ability at this stage of the playoffs and you have a potential reinforcement ready to go, you don't sit and wait on that. Our power play is f***ing anemic. If he can even help there, then get him in there ASAP.

Kucherov or prospect
We've seen very little cutting & lateral movement from Point since getting hurt. It's mostly straight line speed, and he no longer pumps the brakes super hard that is usually followed up with his elite acceleration into open ice.
It sucks. We can still beat Dallas but other guys who have gone ghost have to chip in.

You could tell how much faster and better at skating he was during the Columbus and Boston series. Point will be at like 50% for the remainder of the playoffs and its a damn shame. He showed how much of a game changer he could be on the ice.
Tampa is cursed to always have our best players injured in the playoffs (Johnson, Bishop, Stralman, Bishop x2, Stamkos, Kucherov, Hedman, Stamkos x2, Point)

Cooper said there is always a chance but probably not, tune into game 2 if he does play. That sounds really encouraging for the series!

There is always a chance....I don't think so...We have to tune it...
So, I guess it's a game time decision...

f*** it just play him already. Can’t be worse than TJ, Paq or Killer at this point.

Probably also an italian player is better than TJ or Killer right now xD

Doesn't even matter if he's a non factor 5 on 5. If he can be somewhat effective on the PP he's more valuable.

Seen an unhealthy Stamkos play the PP before, it's useless unless he has his shot other wise we get a right handed Kucherov trying to play cross ice hot potato with the other one.

His presence alone would shift the focus more to his left side and allow Kuch to fire bombs from the right.

Oh, sorry Bones. Stammer isn't playing, he was just on his way to get some pictures taken in full uniform.

So I guess it's just his conditioning at this point?
These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
Kuch won't do it anyway. He wants that cross ice feed like a fat kid wants cake. If you're gonna exploit anything put Point in the crease to fire it home.
