Was about to be really pissed about Stamkos not shooting there but glad it worked out. I still don't understand this teams fascination with the Giraffe. I don't even like KK that much but this isn't a fricking petting zoo play the better player for christs sake.
Oh and f*** NBCSN and f*** the hawks too.

Nice win and comeback win at that. NBCSN coverage was really pro hawks and that is really irritating.
It's been a while since we've had a regular season game that intense. I felt like we had an edge from the beginning of the 2nd onward, but it was highly competitive.
-Vasy was a monster for the way he went long periods being inactive and then had to make a flurry of saves.
-Might have been Callahan's best game since 2015. Kunitz looked good again too.
-Stamkos and Kucherov were off their game, but Stammer's play to Point made up for it.
-Sustr was actually kind of okay tonight.

No mention of Hedman's numerous mistakes tonight? Not a good night for him, the nice shorthanded pass aside.
I thought Johnson looked good tonight fwiw. He just needs to string a few of these games together.

I hope that he's gotten the taste of how he should play tonight and we'll see more of it.

I think he has played well all season. Tonight he had luck finally go his way on the scoresheet. That 2nd Anaheim game, easily could have picked up muliple points including a goal which was waived off. I also think the 11F/7D format has hurt his play. Tonight he had the same linemates and was able to build chemistry with them.
What is most important is that his hip seems fine, and he is hitting hard, 10 hits now in the last 2 games, moving pretty fast out there, and is also creating offense. He just needs to spend some time working on his shot. IMO. But think Cooper or Todd Richards should give him a look on the 2nd PP unit which has kinda gone cold. Don’t think that is asking much if he keeps having games like this one.

It was. It was quintessential Kunitz, too. Those are exactly the kinds of goals you get from him.

Contrary to what a lot of people think, Stamkos has not "reinvented" himself as a playmaker, when he tries to be a playmaker you get 2015-2016 level of bad plays similar to the past 4~ games. Not only are his passes bad when he tries to force them but they often result in turnovers.
He had things clicking for him with Kucherov/Names based off chemistry he's not some elite playmaker all of a sudden being a career goalscorer.

I need about tree fiddy
fair enough....but i stand by what I said
lmao it was worth it to hear their disappointment at the end.
Agreed somewhat. It's mostly chemistry, I think what people mean when they say he's reinvented himself though is that he's become more of a pass first guy versus a shoot first guy. I think that is the best explanation, the offense flows through Kucherov and Hedman now.

Warning: The guy who uploaded it put some music with vulgar lyrics that plays at the start of the video for like 5 seconds. The rest of the video is game highlights with radio broadcast audio.

Seen a lot of Tampa 2016 the past 2 games, too much for my taste, but that went better after the 1st period. Great game by Cally, Palat is heating up, Stamkos and Kucherov were human the past 2 games.
