These Are The Days
Oh no! We suck again!!
That makes me happy to think about. Crazy to think my first game was 12 years ago
He's worth 10-11.Didn't remember that, my bad. All I remember is the leafs talk all season. Really though, how much money is Kucherov worth?

I've seen a quote from his agent not too long ago that he's not going to break the bank, so take it for what it's worth. I have a feeling that he would take Stamkos money and be fine with it.
Kucherov won't try to 'break the bank' with Lightning, agent saysDo you mind going through the trouble of finding it? Last time I heard news that good Sustr wanted to be traded and then he DIDN'T get traded
Killer-Stamkos-Kucherov (just feasted on the Flyers)What were the lines today?
What were the lines today?
They should probably roll with Stammer - Kuch again for a while and see how it plays. Any of the other lines look good or do any damage?Killer-Stamkos-Kucherov (just feasted on the Flyers)
Miller-Point-Gourde
Erne-Johnson-Conacher
Kunitz-Cirelli-Callahan
Pairings were Hedman - entire defense at one point or another.
Point's line looked good (of course). Fourth line didn't get much time but Cally and Kunitz were good on the PK. Third line was... okay?They should probably roll with Stammer - Kuch again for a while and see how it plays. Any of the other lines look good or do any damage?

It was 7-6 but it should've been like 7-3. In no order we had bad puck luck on the Provorov goal, a blown defensive coverage to Patrick, Coburn screwing up royally to feed a Flyer in front of the net -I think it was Voracek or Couturier, a last second goal by Giroux, a shot Vasy never saw go in because Hedman was standing directly in the way and a bad goal (at least I felt that way) given up to Hagg or Haag.
Think yzerman has learned they extend him this summer avoid the distractionAre the bolts gonna sign Kucherov this summer? Or make him wait like Stamkos?
The only real problem with saying this is that breakdowns of communication, and defensive zone breakdowns in general still happen in the playoffs. Ideally not to the same extent as you'll see in the regular season (sure as hell hope not as much as we saw today) but standing in front of your goaltender and screening his view on a shot that goes in? Not getting back in proper position or losing a matchup? Deflections surely, I mean, those still pop up all the time in playoff hockey, and some of those (deflections more than anything else) are unavoidable.
We've seen barn burner playoff games involving the Lightning before. The 6-5 Rangers game immediately comes to mind. They aren't common in the playoffs but, then again, they aren't that common in the regular season either. The Lightning have played an 8-5 win, a 6-5 win, and a 6-6 tie this season over 65 games or whatever; that's 4% of their games over the space of the entire season (the very obvious caveat being that I could be forgetting a game here or there where they might have lost). Probably wouldn't find too much of a discrepancy on that percentage and if you took a sample of 65 playoff games over the course of time.
Congrats for the win.
Stamkos and Kucherov were all over the place and Vasilevsky is a beast.
You've beaten the Flyers and the refs in this match-up IMO. The call in OT was a joke.
Good luck in the play-offs.
