Stamkos is C.
Point being, perhaps it looks better if the road team doesn't have their C while the Jackets don't.

I think the last 3rd period I've seen this entertaining was during the playoffs
Erixon too
Last night, I predicted a win if Forsberg starts in net. I'm sticking to that. No disrespect to McElhinney, but I'd like to avoid seeing him go back-to-back games against a quality opponent.
What the HELL
D overcommited. D is just screwing up terribly this season.
Diagnosis of a loss:
The first goal the Lightning just outnumbered us in front of our net. I'm blaming Boller for that. It should have been clear that he had to cover J.T. Brown.
The second goal is obviously Hartnell's fault, terrible play. He went for a double-team on Drouin and was oblivious to Paquette sneaking in behind him for the goal.
Third goal was typical powerplay. Fourth goal was Chaput's fault. Again he went for the doubleteam, leaving Boyle alone in front.
So if you are going to characterize our problems here, it's guys not trusting each other to do their jobs. They're going for double-teams and leaving others wide open. This is typical for teams with low-confidence in each other in losing streaks.
Our blueline IS screwing the pooch this year. Prout has been terrible. Savard is inconsistent and Erixon is barely NHL caliber. Johnson has not been good either.
I agree in general, but tonight's screwups were our forwards fault. Team D.
This goes back to pregame but I'm curious why Callahan took the ceremonial face off instead off Stammer.
Ok, I'm reaching here, but being military appreciation night:
Stamkos is Canadian
Callahan is American
