Tampa beating Hurricanes on and off the ice let's go! Vasi was huge. 5on5 start was great though they faded a bit but the power play is still good

I don't disagree, but I'd also keep in mind that we ran the same PP unit for like five years straight. It's probably is muscle memory to anyone who plays PK that you need to have 91 covered at all times. In a month or two I don't think Point can expect to have nearly as much time in the slot as he did in that goal.

The most encouraging take away from this game for me was Vasy and Kuch as they both looked like they're still capable of carrying the rest of the team. Hopefully they won't have to the whole season, but they did tonight.

We gave up a lot of high quality scoring chances that they either missed on or Vasy made great saves. Moneypuck had the Canes with a 56% deserve to win and up until the last empty goal Kuch scored, had the Canes with a 3.52 expected goals vs our 2.64. Not a great game for us, but we got the win on the road.

McD no doubt contributed to our strong PK performance, but he also had multiple mistakes than led to some of the scoring chances against. Moser looked solid and Perbix thankfully looks better than he was last year.

I'm very glad Geekie made the team. Even in his limited ice time you can see he is someone on the lower lines who can do something with scoring opportunities. Looking forward to seeing more of him.

Connor Sheary's comeback is not off to a good start, getting scratched before he even plays a game? He better start making an impression before Eyssimont gets healthy.

We won because we sat that bum sheary. Cirelli had a solid two way game but still isn't living up to his big raise. Good 3c make about 4 to 5 million.

Idk, teams have made it a point (no pun intended) to take him away as an option in recent years. I think he’ll be fine.

We get it, you don’t like Sheary and Cirelli.

We get it, you don’t like Sheary and Cirelli.

Cooper clearly isn't a fan of Sheary's either.

We'll go 12-6 on Tuesday and Sheary will be in the lineup

While Atkinson wasn't anything special, still much better than Sheary IMHO

He wasnt totally out of place,played good

Atkinson played less than 9 minutes but felt like he was definitely out there for more than that. Counted at least 4 nice plays he made.

 

[OffBy1]

I'd take Atkinson over Sheary every day. Chaffee got some decent chances last night, which was more than I remember Atkinson getting, but it's only been one game.

4 more than sheary had all of last season LOL

Nice road win. Hope everyone is safe. Prayers for all those affected by Milton or Helene.

We stayed and rode it out. Never lost power. We have 3 sets of family members now living with us along with 3 dogs. We're FULL.

I mean if eyssimont is back by then he could get healthy scratched again
