[DFC]

I find myself pretty anxious to see these new lines. To be honest I'm glad Cooper just finally shook things up.

 

[2MinutesforGiraffing]

He'd originally tweeted Nabby might be starting. I was starting to rethink my pre-game plans.

 

[BoltSTH]

I was lucky enough to miss the last game as at the Fleetwood Mac concert (I did check the score between songs). Hopefully the team turns up tonight like me.
No excuse not to win tonight as getting them on a back to back after a OT loss and long shoot out.

 

[The Macho King]

Well, this one will be... interesting.

 

[2016cupwinners]

I mainly want to see fewer odd man rushes against, and more consistent passing. We broke up many of our own rushes with some really bad passes last game.

 

[Leonardo87]

We will win this game, guaranteed. Pittsburgh played extra mins last night, and Tampa has had two days off. Now have 3 scoring lines that Coop can roll.

And no Maatta, Martin, Dupuis, Bennett, Sutter, Downie, Greiss, Ehrhoff, Comeau, Adams, Bortuzzo...

We need to beat you guys at least once this season, and tonight has to be that night, no offense to you guys. We need this win.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

I have a good vibe for this one

I'll be stunned if you don't get it.

 

[ThunderAlleyNomad]

I wouldn't. Malkin owns us. And nothing about the Lightning in the last two weeks leads me to believe that they are capable of anything more than tying their own skates.

 

[Leonardo87]

I have a good vibe for this one

So do I.

I'll be stunned if you don't get it.

Me too, this team had an embarrassing loss to the Islanders on Saturday. If we are not coming out guns blazin. You guys deserve the win more.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

All I want for Christmas is a Win today vs the Penguins.

 

[chasespace]

I'll be stunned if you don't get it.

You could be icing your AHL squad + Malkin and that lone addition would be enough to make me worry.

 

[LightningStrikes]

I'm gonna miss this one but I'm curious to see how our new 1st line will do.

 

[Voidskipper]

Well, at least cooper is trying to mix things up a bit.

 

[Dying Alive]

Comeau hurt his wrist during the game last night and didn't return, so there's a decent chance the Pens will only have 10 actual forwards tonight. Should be interesting.

 

[Cookiefist]

Come on rare +2 points!

You're still going to kill us.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Connolly on the first! I hope he seizes the opportunity. Show 'em what you got!

 

[DFC]

He's going to need to be stronger in the corners, but this is a chance for him to be on Stammer's strong side. One hand hand I'm a little concerned that we have a guy with 0 assists over there, but on the other hand, I do feel like, other than Kucherov, he might be our best playmaking RW.

If these lines don't work, and we continue to lose, I think we might have to look at breaking up TKO for a more balanced lineup. But I think there's a chance Coop might have found that balance with these.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Oh Zatkoff in goal. Maybe a win is possible after all.
