GDT: 9/19/20 - 7:30PM EDT - Dallas vs Tampa Bay [SCF Game 1]

[Felonious Python]

Play with Stars mind. Let Stamkos go out for the warmups, skate around, and then after they come back in. it is announced he is scratched. Future games repeat, until no announcement he is not playing.

I think we're playing with our own minds more at that point.

 

[Brie]

Let's go Lightning!! This will be tough but we need to get up and play a full game from the start.

 

[PaulGG]

Why a back to back game in final but not conference final?

 

[Discipline]

Why a back to back game in final but not conference final?

Gotta leave the bubble quick.

 

[Lightning1995]

Find a way

Not expected =/= not playing


My one ounce of optimism for you all today.

He plays.

Why a back to back game in final but not conference final?

TV. Sunday Night Football then the first Presidential Debate. NHL had to work around that. It will be tough on both teams but by God I think we can do it.

 

[PaulGG]

We won our second of btb , they lost both of theirs

 

[Fabiobest]

I was mad at them last game despite winning the conference championship.

And you were right.
To be honest, it was unacceptable what we saw last game: some players played a really poor hockey, like they did not care about it...

 

[JoVel]

I'm so excited and terrified. Let's f***ing do this you beautiful bitches.

 

[Felonious Python]

more detail

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Definitely getting close. Game 3 baby.

 

[Ginger Papa]

Boys are back this evening,
not much time for healing
It's going to be tough,
in the quest for the Cup.

Nerves need to be steeling,
send Dallas on heels reeling
Every shift, all the night,
make them wilt under the fight.

Come on Lightning, of Tampa Bay
The Stanley Cup Final is underway

Let's draw first blood! Starting tonight
First blood, shoot Stars from the sky
Win one, and then win three more
First blood, first blood

Hedman is hot, Radulov not so hot
Point has the touch,
and he wants it so much.

Come on Lightning, of Tampa Bay
The Stanley Cup Final is underway

Let's draw first blood! Starting tonight
First blood, shoot Stars from the sky
Win one, and then win three more
First blood, first blood

(Repeat 3x)

Cirelli scored the game winning goal on a shift with Goodrow and Coleman, don't think there's any harm trying him there and using Gourde to spark a line with Johnson and Killorn. Point isn't 100% and we need more players to get going.

We're 12-4 in the playoffs, and you want to break up the one line that's outproducing the sum of its parts?

Long time Habs fan here. Thank you for developing Sergachev! He’s is going to be a monster... if not already! Go Tampa Go!

Only because we accidentally saw it have some success. Getting Cirelli going on a shift by shift basis would be HUGE for our chances in the final. That's not gonna happen on his current line.

because of nbc Sunday night football

In the regular season probably.

Playoffs I'm not so sure yet.

So you can't try something new to improve the team? They're just a hard forechecking line it's not like they're producing out of this world numbers. Cirelli can do what Gourde does on that line and actually gives them better zone control with his faceoff ability. Whereas Gourde can spark more offense than Cirelli on the other line.

Lmao! He just turned 22 and is playing more than solid in your run... that’s if you are really a Tampa fan. He’s doing exactly what is needed and asked of him imo. Congrats!

 

[JoVel]

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get any sleep before this game... Good thing I stocked up on energy drinks just in case.

You said you "don't think there's any harm in" blah blah blah. There's a clear potential for harm in breaking up the Coleman-Gourde-Goodrow line. How is that not obvious?
