koekkoek is gonna shock you he will pinch at right times hes gonna be big addition hes not stralman but can skate with hedman
also whats to say we dont bring up tony d for power play running 7 d all the time?
carle has been good since january and we are lucky to have him still to be honest makes this loss palatable
These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
I think it's safe to say Koekkoek is coming up and not going back down. It's time to take the training wheels off and play him. We've been grooming this kid for 4 years now

So, the pairings probably go like this now, huh?
77-62
5-55
25-29
Boy that third pairing, between Carle and an inexperienced offensive-minded D, has disaster potential.

Agreed. I think this is where Koekkoek can prove what an impact player he will be. The kid is simply outstanding and so many players started their careers by stepping into difficult situations and flourished. I always say, "Put yourself under a little pressure and see how you do." It's a bad way to open the door but it's open for him now.

77 - 62: Yikes. Hedman can play big minutes but Sustr (who has looked better) can't handle top matches and big minutes
5 - 55: Its solid enough and defensively responsible, I'm okay with this being the 2nd pair
25 29/89(?) Yikes!!

Loved Anton as a NYR. Sucks too. I turned on game late and saw he played a total of 3:24 and was like something must have happened. One of those guys who is very underrated.

a lot of people are writing the lightning out now, I think we will be alright. Hopefully hes back in the 2nd round. This def gives CooCoo puffs the chance to step in. Also think Garri Coburn step up. I may get **** but Carle looked good tonight dare I say it.

It's not the same injury, but do remember that, on March 28th last season, Garrison suffered a pretty rough injury when Abdelkader boarded him in Detroit, and that was a 3-5 week prognosis, if I recall. He returned for Game 3 of the first round, which was April 21st, if I'm recalling the dates correctly (don't doubt me; I am correct). That was four weeks and two days.
If, at the optimistic best, we're projecting six weeks on the sideline for Stralman, well, subtract three days and then add back fourteen (or just add 11 days if you like doing math in fewer steps). That's May 3rd when Stralman when would be able to return, and once we get to May, it's the second round at the absolute earliest.
If there's any chance Stralman could return for the second round, well, that would be great, but TB is going to need some luck with their first round draw, then. Fortunately, if it is only the first round (...we know it would likely extend into, if not for the entirety, of the 2nd round, but roll with this), Tampa Bay still has the talent to beat, if not be outright favored, against any of the five teams they could theoretically face (they won't face the Caps, Rags, or likely 'Cats in the first round, so exclude them). It sure won't be easy, though. Some guys are gonna need to step up on the blueline in addition to Bishop continuing to be damn-near Vezina calibre.
