56 game rest Kucherov with 2

too many leaves/coilers fans on the main board GDT

Puke .....

In the more positive sphere Vegas lost!

Having a main board GDT has to be the most dysfunctional concept ever.

Huberdeau has turned into a super star. He's fantastic.

Glad.to see the Tampa cheats down again.

So after this insane TB / FLA game, you can stay up late and watch Calgary play Vancouver in a regular season game. This is nuts.

Sam Bennett has been a beast too. Crazy how a change of scenery can really change a player.

 

[bustamente]

Wonder if the Jets/Oilers series will have this kind of emotion, actually all the series so far have shown why you can't beat hockey playoffs

I always liked him as a junior player and thought he had way more to show then he had in Calgary. Glad to see him having success, would have loved to see us get him.

Montour another player I wanted at the deadline is looking fantastic, which begs the question just how much can you read into a players performance in that disaster of a franchise. I would be after Ristolianen this summer, he likely shows way better in a better environment.

I had hoped that Dubois would be a Huberdeau type player. Maybe later.

Well Huberdeau didn't get to this level u til he was 24/25 so there is still time.

Aside from Lowry and maybe Copp, we’re just way too soft to play this style of hockey

Ita clear bs, no way he couldn't have played last week in the regular season and should have been activated prior to year end. This league is pathetic.

Tampa is a southern team. We’ve seen examples in the past of southern teams struggling with attendance when their teams aren’t good. Bettman won’t punish Tampa because he needs them to be good so he can continue to try to grow the game in the south. It’s terrible.

Bettman is such a tool.

 

[ps241]

Florida Tampa is a really fun game to watch.

Tampa has a big enough market now and it shouldn't matter anyhow.

You'd be surprised what players will do with some emotional investment. I never would've pegged Florida as a feisty team either.

Oh I totally agree. But that’s just the way it is unfortunately

The fans make it so much better

Yup we saw just that from our guys in 17-18. They are capable of it if they turn it on.

Dubois is another guy who has shown he can turn it on the playoffs. He almost single handedly eliminated Toronto last year, hopefully he continues with that.

Kind of apples and oranges no ? This is no where near our 17-18 team. We’ll see what they can muster, but as a perpetual pessimist, I’m not hopeful.

I'm not either with Moe at the helm and we won't be playing an aggressive brand of hockey anyhow so doubt we see anything high paced. He'll try to slow the game down and clog things up.

 

[surixon]

f***..... I like Point a lot though but I can't cheer for a team that gamed the system like they did.

 

[bustamente]

Bolts have an embarrassment of riches in terms of top line players but they have great lunch pail haulers too.

These two teams had recently played twice at the end of the season and one was nothing but hate.

That's what I mean, emotions can harden some teams that would normally be thought of as "soft".
