Tampa, FL.
getting rid of the trash and giving our youth a chance lines:

Guentzel-Point-Kucherov
Hagel-Cirelli-Groshev
Eyssimont-Paul-Geekie
Goncalves-Girgensons-Chaffee

dump sheary and atkinson in syracuse and glendening can be the 13th forward
Groshev isn't a 2nd line F on this team. They brought Atkinson in for a reason, and also kept Sheary around as well. Maybe if both of them struggle to get going or get injured, then guys like Groshev and Goncalves will get more of a full time.role. I think with Brown already injured (again), Goncalves (provided his injury isn't serious) and maybe Geekie get spots until Ace gets back, then one is sent down or waived in the case of Goncalves. Glendening should be ready by opening night or just a game or two in it seems, amd he's a solid.4th line C, so he shouldn't be sitting in tbe stands or just the 13th F most nights imo

Coop on Geekie's fight:
"First of all Geekie is new to the organization. It's not like he's been around these guys a ton. He's been with them through training camp, but just to see that come out of him, again in a game that really in the big picture doesn't mean anything in the standings, but it meant something to the guys, and it meant something to him. That goes miles in the locker room."
"First of all he's played in some really big events. He's played in front of some big crowds. He got a little taste in the American League. He's been in all sorts of situations, but in the end he's 20 years old. He looks like a man out there, but he's still a young kid. But what I do see is somebody who has a lot of maturity to his game, and there's some things he needs to work on, and that will come with age and experience. But he's definitely further ahead than I thought he was going to be when he came in here. He keeps showing himself in the good every time he steps on the ice. It's been nice to see."


Geekie:
"Kind of like what Hags touched on, whether it's training camp or not, everyone's got each other's backs. I think like he said that's why they've been so successful. It was kind of a fight or flight moment, and I wasn't letting him get away."
"It's one of those things that it doesn't matter if it's Heddy or whoever it is. If anyone gets hit like that, someone has to step up and I figured I could be that guy. It worked out, but anyone could do it. I'm sure a lot of guys were thinking the same thing as me."
"They've won 3 Stanley Cups, and that's what it takes. So like I said, everyone's got each other's backs in here, and that's why you wear the logo."
"(My teammates) were happy, but again it's just one of those things that it's almost just expected. It doesn't matter your size. You play for the thing on the front, not on the back."
