Speculation: 2020-2021 General Lightning Discussion - Defending Champions Edition: Part 2

So with Hedman requiring surgery do you think we’ll escape cap hell one more season?

This offseason we will still get rid of at least 1 deadweight, not only because cap hell but also because the rookies primed to get a spot on the top team are many

There's a salt mine in the main boards. Unbelievable

This is almost as good as winning the Stanley Cup. Any more salt and it's going to be close

When you consider that the playoffs started a little later than usual and a big deal surgery may have him miss some time I'd say Hedman needs to do the right thing and shut it down now so we can f*** ourselves into oblivion and make the haters happy

Personally I won't be happy until Kucherov wins the Conn Smythe and HFBoards crashes from the salt.

Wow we're living in their heads rent free from a Stanley Cup Final where they never even had a chance.

No kidding, I had to catch myself from replying to a few threads.

You speak of the dreams that only the hockey God's could make possible. I didn't know I needed that until you said it. This may eclipse Tom Brady winning a Super Bowl with us

If he looks hard enough he'll find the Stanley Cup we beat the shit out of Dallas for

Living rent free in their head too?

Unfortunately folks didn't realize that Biden's eviction moratorium didn't apply to their head space. We're gonna be living there all the way until next season

I missed the playoffs. Glad they're back - regular season is boring.

For some reason, despite only being 56 games, this season felt like it drug out more than normal. Maybe it was the schedule where you were playing the same handful of teams, but it was just boring.

If this happens I'm taking a year off from HF.

Just screams for this.

The Jealousy is amazing to witness on the mainboards. You would think we were the Bruins how badly people hate us.

Yeah. And it just felt like nothing was a true indicator of how we might do in the playoffs.

I’ll be here more than ever to bask in the tears

Yeah this! Didn’t help that we couldn’t watch the Kucherov show for 56. And the team missed the playoffs too!

The CDC has approved a new vaccine from Johnson & Johnson.

This is so incredibly dumb that this question is even being asked. So much for the athletic getting away from click bait articles



Is hockey played with sticks and a puck? Social media needs to know. We asked coaches from around the league and nhl officials on these claims. My column here:

Even worse that one of the big 3 (BobMac, Friedman, LeBrun) is doing it.

Very frustrating. I don’t like the timing of it and again, I don’t know why this is being posed as a question and not just stated as an out right fact. Educate people, but don’t make it seem like it’s up for discussion. It’s not. It was fine in early January and Kuch having a good game doesn’t change that 4 months later.

Gimmicky and extremely sub-par for Pierre. I feel shame just looking at the post let alone the article.

The guys on NHLN Radio (The Point Show) the other day summed it up for the "confused" folks in a single 4 minute segment. The main line was (paraphrasing), without Kucherov, the Tampa Bay Lightning were still on pace (until their hiccup the last two weeks of the season) to win the division... and in a full 82-game season reach 110 points. So where's the shenanigans?

No, he'll just get surgery on day 0 of the 2021-22 reg season so we can keep the circumvention train chugging along.
