#FireCooper

 

[These Are The Days]

I expect us to set of the Tesla Coils a half dozen times tonight minimum with our roster.

This will be an easy cake walk.






Awesome GDT Days. Looks fantastic.

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I want our Tesla coils to do this after each goal!!

 

[Leonardo87]

Vladdy hat trick! Oh wait...

This is fine....

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

Vladdy hat trick! Oh wait...

tyjo and clutch on morning skate with 12 others maybe cooper is hiding line up maybe he has some brains in fact

im not putting it past him to sit vladdy but im wondering what is in his head

he talked to detroit media saying tyjo is game time decision and hopes he will play

well to me if hes out you got to play vladdy so that means he might have rolled lines to trick blaishell yesterday

yep probably too much credit but right now id not be surprised if vladdy plays or doesnt play lol

only thing would surprise me is if tyler johnson doesnt play hahaa

 

[DFC]

I really, really want to walk away from this game happy. It's weird how it used to be about wanting to win. Now I just want to feel like I actually enjoy watching the team I cheer for. Just give me hope.

Never watched Family Guy, huh? It's all good.

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

Never watched Family Guy, huh? It's all good.

not and paid attention

cooper said tonights game would be like a fight between two teams playing in a closet the lack of space

i violently want to kick something lol

 

[JS91]

Can't wait for the game. Had a few weeks off from hockey due to just not having a lot of time and the team didn't exactly give me a reason to make it a priority. That's why I'm now even more hyped for the playoffs. I really hope Drouin has breakout playoffs because that's exactly what this team needs to do well. Expecting them to do everything in their power to stop Kucherov and his line which is why Drouin will likely have a good opportunity to show what he can do.

Hoping for an entertaining game and hopefully a win.

 

[Leonardo87]

Looks like Vladdy is in tonight, Condra scratched, skating with Boyle and Blunden, LOL!! Would it kill you Cooper to switch Vladdy and Paquette?

 

[Brie]

Vladdy in but having him on a line with Boyle and Blunden is a bit odd, if it was me I would have put him as a center on the 3rd line with Callahan and Brown and have Paquette on the 4th line, like this:

Brown – Vladdy – Cally
Paquette – Boyle - Blunden



EDIT: *lol* D2B, great minds think alike, sadly Cooper can't see it as well.

 

[Stammertime91]

Vlad is in. Good, he should be. Have to win the home games. Nice GDT days.

Let's grab 1/16 tonight.

 

[wxkid23]

Just win

 

[The Gongshow]

Nothing better than playoff hockey

 

[DFC]

Nothing better than playoff hockey

Will that be the case for the TB Lightning this year? Or are we about to watch players turn a hockey rink into mud?

LOL, Well it is common sense, but Coop wants his shutdown line and I hate Paquette with Callahan they have no chemistry. Vladdy and Cally have played before and shown chemistry in the little they played, and Vladdy is a two-way forward who can take on defensive responsibilities, and at least gives us a 3rd scoring line with this. But what do i know.

Also, you are separating our two most physical players and going against a more physical team, it is wiser not to put all your eggs in one basket. Which is why TKO is also separated.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

I hope Vlad scores an OT game winning hat-trick and gives Coop the finger.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

Holy **** im hyped... im on vacation from army and its playoff time!

Thank you for your service!

Best of luck in the series! I just pray neither team looks as bad as both our fan bases think we will.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Oh good Vladdy's in. Good choice coach.

[LightningStrikes]

[DFC]

The Cooper curveball.

Comes to his senses at the last second.

Not really, Vladdy is on the 4th line, and will likely play only 9 mins tonight.
