- QUOTES -


JON COOPER
: "The energy with the group was outstanding. You detail something out in between periods, and they went out there and tried to execute it. It was a lot of fun in the game. Nashville’s a great atmosphere to play in, so I think the guys had a ton of fun. Any time you can sneak through here, especially with some of the guys they had in the lineup, and get a win, it was great."​

"I didn’t know a ton about (Matt Tomkins). I knew he was coming over from Europe, but he stood in there. He was calm. He was poised. He didn’t look like anything was rattling him at all, especially when everything was buzzing around him in the third period. It was great to see that performance."

MATT TOMKINS: "I felt great. I just wanted to keep it simple, and kinda do my thing. I felt good right off the bat. I think despite how we might have felt throughout the game, we did an awesome job keeping them to the perimeter and blocking a lot of shots. The guys did a really great job, and that made my job pretty easy tonight, so that was awesome to see."

"My experience was great over there (in Sweden). I enjoyed my time over there, but certaintly wanted an oppertunity to come back to North America and the oppertunity came up with the Lightning, so it was a no brainer for me to come back and try to play in the NHL. That's always been a dream of mine. I'm just trying to seize everyday here and take advantage of the oppertunities as they come, and make the most of it. It's really exciting to be back in North America, and with a world class organization. It's awesome, and it's good to be apart of the group."

"I'm taking it day to day. It's a really good oppertunity to show my game here. Obviously I had a couple years over there in Europe, so this is a good chance to show the improvements that have come along with that, and really just to get settled in the organization, and get familar with everyone. "

No Groshev or Merela again :(

At least we get to see Johansson in the second half of the game, I'm guessing.

Holding them off because pretty much guaranteed at the end of this game

Chaffee, Walcott, Day, and Thompson are going to get cut. Probably Hugo too.

TB hasn't changed goalies mid-game so far this preseason.

We've got another game tomorrow, too. There's still time.

I feel like if you want to evaluate goalies, they need the whole game. If you just want to get them in game shape, then splitting time is okay, although pro goalies don't knowingly play half a game at any other point in the year.

I'm excited to see the 4th line. Edmonds got a little banged up in the prospect tournament and didn't play that much, and this will be the 2nd preseason game for Szturc as he works towards a contract.

I guess this game will then be Hugo's first and maybe most important chance to impress for the goaltender opening. He hasn't looked steady to me thus far, hopefully we see a better performance. We might need all three G's to get through these two months.

I'm curious about Edmonds too. I'd love for any one of Groshev, Merela, Edmonds, ABB, etc, to earn a spot on the 2nd or 3rd line and replace some of the offense lost with Killorn's departure.

The most interesting thing for me in this game though, given the players in it, is how the Cirelli line does. I'd love to see him as the 3rd line center and Stamkos as the 2C, so I'm hoping for some instant chemistry on that line tonight. It's good three good skaters, with two solid two-way players, seems like it should work.

These all mean a little more with Vasy out. From all accounts Matt Tomkins had a great game Wednesday. Johansson, it’s your turn tonight to show us what you got

Motte is everything I have expected and saying. I also said having him on the fourth line is probably not a good idea, due to some untapped offensive skill. The guy shoots and generates a lot of offense with his forecheck. He needs to be on the third line starting the season with Cirelli and possibly Sheary who can play a quick north south game with heavy forechecking.
