Well Flip doesn't know how it feels to not make the playoffs. 8 years in the league, 8 playoffs appearances.

So yeah, Fil has been amazing so far this season. He and Cally are our go-to guys on the PK but it's even greater to see him stickhandling through traffic, creating space and dishing out crisp passes that lead to scoring chances almost every shift.

It's amazing how guys like Stamkos and him seem to have turned 180 this season, shaking off all the frustrating aspects of their game from the past 1-2 seasons like it's nothing.

It's 2013 again. Stamkos injured, Filppula great.

 

[Steazy Doo]

His downfall was much overblown last year. I've said it then and I'm saying it now, if we wanna win the cup we keep this guy.
