GDT: 9/29/18 - 7:00PM EDT - Tampa Bay @ Florida [Preseason Game 7 ]

[TeslaCoilFan]

Great save by Luongo on Point/Palat. Unfortunately.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

4th line has been our best. Stamkos has been terrible.

I'd say that Point/Palat and Gourde/Palat have been very effective too. But yeah, Stamkos hasn't done much of anything so far.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Ooo, first PP for us!!

 

[Shoresy Snipes]

Florida announcers say their hearing rumblings of Bolts hosting an outdoor game. I don't see where they would host it this season. Seems too short of time to get something properly put in place

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Okay, whose PP was that?? They gave the Cats waaay too much shorthanded attack time.

I think they started talking about this last year. I think Bettman has even mentioned the possibility, but I could be wrong on that.

This was mentioned at the all-star game

 

[Felonious Python]

Rumors. The Yzerman era is over.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Strange as it may sound, I think I'd move Koekkoek before Coburn.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

But both of them are LHD (though Coburn can play RD) and Cernak is a RHD...

Reason I'd keep Coburn is he can play both sides very smoothly to allow any of our babies to rotate in.

So I guess Cernak would be our #7 and allow for Girardi to be rested??

 

[Brie]

I wouldn't mind seeing TB in an outdoor game. Doesn't have a to be a home game either and could be played against a team in a colder state if having on in Florida isn't an option.

As we all suspected

LOL, One of Dom's threads finally came true.

Although I think he had some support with that one.

Thing is, we don't need players, so we'd have to take a pick or two. Might appeal to contenders.

Organizationally what the Lightning need are d-men. We lost Dotchin and Walcott without replacing those slots.

 

[DFC]

****ing Mathieu Joseph baby!

 

[Rschmitz]

Way to go Joseph!

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

WTG Joseph!!!!

Gets us down to 7 D. Whichever of the D stays plays the third pairing left side, Cernak and Girardi alternate.

 

[Shoresy Snipes]

Would be high crime and treasonous to leave Joseph off the team at this point. That kid has hustle

 

[DFC]

It would be kind of risky to trade Koekkoek and let Coburn walk at the end of the year. Masin might not be ready 12 months from now.

That was actually my thread, but pretty much everyone here thought this was in the works. Pretty cool to see a little bit of confirmation...welcome aboard Cernak!

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Yeah, that works. Would still prefer Coburn to stay. Think he'd retire a Bolt after this season. Koekkoek could use the opportunity a new team would offer.

He's definitely making a solid case for being on the opening night roster.

Was that Miller or Sergachev? Can't tell with the grainy feed and the Panther announcers
