Can anyone see anything that looks like positives in the above interviews? All I hear is blah, blah, blah. They all sound like it's over to me. Hope they prove me wrong.
I keep remembering things.
Just when the **** did we resort to being a dump and chase team? It's frustrating to watch almost every dump in, Chicago regains possession. We'll make a show of it, and ALMOST get to the puck, or lose a board battle, but inevitable, it goes the other way.
We never did that **** during the regular season. It clearly isn't working now. Why the **** do we keep doing it? I'll tell you why. They're standing our guys up right at the blue line, like a wall. Hit that blue line with speed, then they'll give you a cushion. Simple as that. Stop ****ing chipping it.
I'm not labeling Sustr an all-star. I'm just saying I think he's outplaying Carle. Carle flubs passes when there isn't an opposing player within 20 feet of him. His shot makes Sustr's look like Chara's. And I've never once seen him even jab someone after a whistle. Oh yea, he's also making 5 mil more a year.

You're focusing on the wrong question here. It's not: Is Sustr better than Carle ? The answer is obviously yes but it's like asking if Vasilevskiy is better than Morrow. They're not competing for the same position so it doesn't matter. The real question is: Is Sustr better than Nesterov ? And on the other side: Is Barberio better than Carle ? (sadly probably not) Personally I'd have liked to see Witko in for a game since he looked stellar at the end of the season but that was never going to happen.
And on a side note last night was my first game at Amalie Arena. I've been to a lot of NHL games but they've been exclusively in the West and Central areas so it was a new experience. It was honestly the best atmosphere that I've ever had. The pre-game show was incredible and they did a great job of getting everyone in the arena cheering whether they were a Bolts or a Hawks fan. I was really proud to be a Lightning fan in that building last night and no matter how the rest of the series goes I'm still glad I made this trip so I could experience that
Lucky you! There's some moron asking $71,827 for a Standing Room ticket in Game 6 in Chicago on StubHub. The insanity on ticket prices this series is freaking unreal.
