Pre-Game Talk: Lightning strikes tonight, 7:30 pm on TSN

“If you a coach 5 million that means you have to take $5 million away from the roster”
- Eugene Melnyk

*hires the cheapest coach and is at the bottom of league spending anyways*

GM as well very likely.. Dorion has a dream job and as a GM a dream opportunity to rebuild a team.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I hope we don’t trade him now. He’s useful for our cause.

What's the cause though? I was happy with the tank seeing as I was sure we'd be keeping the likes of Hoff, EK, Duch and Stone around, so we'd possibly be adding another elite player to the core without too much suffering, but what's the point of tanking now? Possibly adding a Svechnikov to a "post clearout" team wouldn't exactly do much of anything imo. Even Dahlin wouldn't do much if you lose EK in the process.

So, Boro was the one that pinched, and hoffman covered from him, allowing the pass to go through him, and not covering his man at the same time

I think Ceci was barking at Hoffman that he created the lane by chasing the puck rather than keeping his coverage.

lol was there really people blaming Ceci on that play?

 

[Viletho]

lol was there really people blaming Ceci on that play?

Of course.. lol

Ryan Dzingel is the modern Russ Courtnall. Tons of speed, a breakaway every other game, no finish.

If Dzingel had Michel Goulet’s hands he’d score 60 a season

 

[Viletho]

That little play to start the 3rd.. that's what i like about Chabot. He blocs the opponent of entering easily.

Shoulder to shoulder. Not overly hard, but he play physical.

That the little detail i want to see more for all our dman. But they don't all have hia skating.

 

[pzeeman]

What happens when you buy your scoreboard at Factory Direct.

 

[Tundraman]

I thought Anderson would get the mercy pull to start the 3rd. A bit surprised.

Maybe they want to keep Condon Fresh for Saturday..
Speculation of course.

 

[Tundraman]

Could be but you'd think with another day between they'd give Condon a warmup period. That said I wouldn't put it past Boucher to play Anderson again.

 

[Alex1234]

Stone having a great game

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Every GM: "Hello Dorion, I heard Karlsson was on the market!"

 

[Tundraman]

Stone having a great game

Lots of guys have very good individual plays throughout the game but seem to have lapses. Stone is rarely if ever that guy.

------------

That should be a good goal Ryan didn't interfere!

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Definitely interference by Bobby.

 

[Micklebot]

Should be a good goal, not that it matters.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

GM as well very likely.. Dorion has a dream job and as a GM a dream opportunity to rebuild a team.

Dorion probably has the worst GM job in the NHL, maybe ahead of Arizona... Maybe.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I think its a good goal...but who cares ... Boro I guess

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

I don't think Ryan really did anything but obviously it looks like goalie interference. Who knows anymore.

 

[L'Aveuglette]

Could very well be that it was Domingue that went into Ryan but the refs ain't calling this one back.

 

[aragorn]

Yeaahhhhhhh! Boro with the goal, the guy has been playing great LATELY.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Could very well be that it was Domingue that went into Ryan but the refs ain't calling this one back.

You sure?

 

[Micklebot]

Nice. Refs got it right with the replay. colour me surprised.

 

[Alex1234]

That D man

 

[Deku]

Good call, all the defender's fault

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I am amazed that they called this back considering how things have gone in the NHL since the break.

 

[Tundraman]

Definitely interference by Bobby.

(lol) Do you regret posting that after the clear replay of the goalie grabbing Ryan's leg.
