Ekblad hasn't looked great either, I am assuming their are some chemistry issues between the two.
Maybe they need just some time? Estimate them again after ~10 games.
I have this feeling that this game will be won on special teams.
Hopefully ours is up for the challenge.
It's not negativity IMO, it's a need to be proven "right" or their warnings be justified, but there is zero "proof" that we would have repeated or been anything near successful like last season had we kept everyone, so I don't see the point.A perfect quote.
Bats I feel you.. some people dwell in negativity.. it's just their MO
I swear...some people in here are just hoping we crumble against tougher teams...
So they can bring back the old "told you so" thing...
Don't worry batting, even after those two games or after our next loss against a tougher team, or maybe even a weaker one, one thing will still be true:
"It's at the end of the show that we pay the musicians !"
So don't bother worrying about those who can't enjoy the first couple of wins in the season... They will be long gone before the season ends !
A perfect quote.

Obviously he's talking about Aleksander Barkov the sixth.Harvey timetraveling again
Really would like us to win 1 of the next 2 either vs tampa or Washington.
i'm just hoping we will get some rivalry going.
no mo flo bros
They've never been FloBros to me. Gudas and Artyukhin were the only players of theirs I've really hated. However, many of their fans act very obnoxious when they come down here for games and aren't any better as hosts in Tampa. I always want nothing more than to destroy them in every matchup.
Reimer's last game vs Tamp was a 41 save win in 14-15. Looked good last preseason game also.
World Cup Eks was awesome. No issues playing with Reilly.
So far, Eks has barely looked 2nd pair worthy to be honest.
Probably still hurt.
Intrigued to see how Reimer does.
Kinda going to be thrown into the fire playing an offensively potent Lightning team. Hopefully, Kucherov still feels rusty.
Reimer is a good goalie, he'll win his share of games for us.
