Goodrow was their best player (not saying much) last game. Obviously with Stamkos and especially Kucherov back, that will change, but still a nice break. I think the bigger news is their defense. If McD is out, and Hedman is out or palying at <50%, they're honestly in some trouble. Vasi has covered them for a lot of this year but that's a lot to ask for.

I'm just so excited for this series, it's going to be fantastic!

I thought a while ago Q had already said he will give this game to Judge?
Maybe things have changed since this game is for home ice
I would like to see Judge in and keep Bob Under Wraps until the series starts.

I'm the exact opposite.

I want Bob, I want Bob to be "the guy", I want Bob to know, as far as I'm concerned(as the coach) that he is the guy, and I want him to OWN them, and then let them(the Bolts) know after every save that he OWNS THEM, and then watch them crumble after every save, every Bennett check, after every Huby impossible pass, after every Barky goal....just drown in their own disbelief on how this Panthers team took them apart piece by piece.

Goodrow isn't bad but not a difference maker. Call me doubtful but I think this is gamesmanship from Tampa and their blue line will be ready game 1.

They did? Would be a big mistake, Driedger has sucked recently

 

[PanthersHockey1]

They need to treat this as An 8 game series. Getting home ice is a critical advantage

Judge is going to get the call

Ignoramus
fans should chant that:


IG-NOR-A-MUS
clap * clap * clap-clap-clap

^repeat for his whole time on ice



And I just love Fat Pat!
Just a low, looow chant in the building would be something...

'FAAAT PAAAT'

 

[Dr Beinfest]

Hmm. For some reason this whole time the dude’s name was Brandon Goodrow. Barclay... Barclay...

That all sounds pretty good to me.

If they don't play that Bugs clip in the arena when Maroon is out there doing stuff the production crew should all be fired out of a cannon.

Now that Fatty Patty will be out enjoying media noche sandwiches with extra large fries, public enemy #1 is Colton for horse collar tackling Tippett.

Tampa is pretty much conceding home ice with the roster they're icing tomorrow, which kind of concerns me

 

[Chaos2k7]

We are going to get a better effort from them, no doubt.

Gonna laugh when they win this one in regulation.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Holy shit, we're playing against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

 

[Cricket Green]

We'll see how bad everyone still feels about Tampa's chances when Kuch, Hedman, Vasi, Stammer and Point are all dressed for Game 1....and we still dont have Ekblad

Im not worried, we have played them well over the years at full strength.

I share the concern that they are just allowing the Panthers to become overly confident.

I would say that Goodrow is indeed a difference maker though. He leads the team in hits and is third among forwards in blocked shots. That Goodrow-Coleman-Gourde line was absolutely vital to their playoff success last year and even if Goodrow is the lesser of the three, the chemistry of the unit will be upset without him.

 

[Ghoste]

Holy cow have Lom and Tipp really turned it on the last couple weeks. They’ve definitely took another step in their games. Good to see.

We need at least a point for home ice. They need a regulation win.

If the game is tied late in regulation, expect Tampa to pull the goalie

That’s an interesting observation for sure

That never ended well for us.... I would not say I'm not worried, but I would say I am more confident in our team then ever before.

Stamkos and Kucherov coming back definitively change things. My question is with how physical this series is going to be, will Kucherov
a. be the same coming off this injury
b. Be willing to play the physical game needed or will he be a little "spooked"
