Game 1 is definitely Sunday. Should be the prime time game, but I bet they put us on in the afternoon.
3 PM might be more “prime time”, at least as it would be on NBC as opposed to Sunday night would be on nbcsn. I just hope it’s not at noon!

Worth noting that while people are dreading Kucherov's return in terms of point production, I'm more afraid of the stupid shit he's going to pull on our top players if he gets frustrated. The guy is one of the least talked dirty players in the league.

Concerns for me in this series, in order of most concern to least concern:

1. Lightning getting their best players back, obviously.

2. Yandle.

3. Bobrovsky.


I don't know how we're going to survive the Lightning's offense with Keith Yandle on the ice. I really don't. I think we've now reached the point where it's worth asking, can we really put this clown's ego over team success?

I'm nervous about it. With their pedigree, can they actually just turn it on and beat us down? I want desperately to topple them and, believe it or not, take a crack at upsetting CAR. I believe that gauntlet could launch this squad towards the ultimate prize. I also desperately want this season to not be seen as a fluke, and a series win would go to show we want to play with the big teams in this league, and it's not a joke.

He'll be fine.

Bennett's game will be the x factor in this series (and each subsequent one ;-) ). He brings components that opponents struggle with. Provides more space/better matchups for his teammates. Expect Sam to continue to be Top 2 in icetime among Florida forwards.

practice lines:

Verhaeghe - Barkov - Duclair
Huberdeau - Heponiemi - Tippett
Vatrano - Wennberg - Hornqvist
Lomberg - Acciari - Marchment
Gusev - Lammikko - Denisenko

Forsling - Weegar
Yandle - Gudas
Nutivaara - Montour
Connauton - Stralman

Bob/Driedger/Knight


Only Bennett was missing, but sounds like he will be fine. Obviously slotting in where Hepo is. So these will likely be the lines G1

Sharing my baby girl's hockey jersey that some of my friends/team on NHL20/21 gave me when my baby was born.

My Gamer Tag is Real Gentle Man and my player name was Zoe Gentle thus the last name. 33 was 9+24 for September 24th which was her original due date.

May it bring us luck this playoffs!!!
