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

[robertocarlos]

Why is there a news conference? Covid caused the SCF to be cancelled?

 

[robertocarlos]

Seguin's stretch is better than Orr's leap.

 

[Aoko]

I'm guessing Stamkos will either be back for game 2 or 3

I figured he'd be gearing up for the Finals too.

Problem is, he's going to be rusty as hell. But a real morale booster seeing him getting ready to suit up.

 

[robertocarlos]

Still can't believe the league scheduled this game not even 45 hours after TB beat the Isles in OT.

I understand everyone wants out of the bubble. But don't we want to see both teams at their best?

They don't want the playoffs ending in October. They need to stay away from the NFL.

I'm going to try to nap before this game, but man am I getting anxious.

 

[robertocarlos]

Bettman is a freaking genius.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Bettman is a freaking genius.

What he say?

 

[robertocarlos]

What he say?

He's just recapped the tournament and thanked the people who made it possible.

He pulled this SC tournament off and that's huge.

 

[Fenway]

A couple of props have been added and if you answer the bonus question before 6:30 PM ET you will have more cash to play with

Vasi already has 14 wins?

Damn

12

first two were not "play off games"

 

[catters078]

Dallas hasnt had a 2 goal lead in a game since Game 4 vs Colorado.

All 5 games they won had either 1 goal leads or came back to win.

The players obviously wanted this.

I hear what you're saying and while I agree Vasilevsky's 2019-2020 playoff record is listed as 14-5

Don’t know what to expect tonight. Rest v rust?

I respect the Stars very much and believe this will be a 6 or 7 game series. I do like the Bolts in 6.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

PP is gonna be huge in this series. Dallas has been good at it while tampa needs work. Tampa has been good on the pk. Curious how Dallas will be there. If tb can neutralize their pp will be huge for them.

[Gurglesons]

Feel like Dallas is going to go buck wild on Tampa tonight.

I can hardly wait to see you in action again

 

[Hockeyholic]

Dallas should win this game. Four days rest vs one for TB.

I think Stamkos only returns if TB loses tonight. Because than they are in must win mode for game 2. But even that might be wishful thinking.

I feel like that's optimistic on Stamkos, yeah. I don't expect to see him unless we're about to close it out.

 

[Electricity]

Stamkos should only play on PPs if healthy. Keep him off the ice otherwise.


Good luck Dallas. Should be an awesome seven-game series.

 

[PaulGG]

All the better if Stammer plays and would help the PP. We have won without him though and done it mostly 5v5 against very good defensive teams. Bolts in 6.
