GDT: 12/23/14 - 7:30PM EDT -Pittsburgh VS Tampa Bay

[Stormbreaker]

Johnny boy!!!

 

[DFC]

We look pretty good here. Still passing up too many shots, but we've kept them neutralized so far and we look structured.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

Holy ****, Steven Fancykos!

 

[Stormbreaker]

So close to being 2-0. Keep it up boys!

 

[The Macho King]

Stammer just got robbed... Tried the ol' Vinny maneuver.

This is the best we've looked in weeks.

 

[dbieon12]

C'mon Standclose. Play up to your name...

 

[Brie]

Oh, close by Stammer, impressive save.

 

[Selyanin]

Oh boy Stammer... if that only went in.

Could it be rest? Could it be redemption for letting Vasi lose last game? Could be anything.

 

[Brie]

Oh, nice save by Vasy there.

 

[The Macho King]

Way to go TJ trying to throw Hornqvist from in front of Vasilevskiy.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

Really impressed with Sustr's play so far.

 

[DFC]

So can anyone guess what Stammer was thinking with that pass? ...We were changing.

Cooper doing his job?

 

[Brie]

Cally playing some Gretsky hockey, "don't be where the puck is, be where it's going to be"

 

[Matthew Carle]

Seems like we have like a whole new attitude..?

 

[Sky04]

Cooper makes big lineup changes to perfectly combat Pittsburgh and we look good, who woulda thunk.

Splitting up Hedman and Stralman to go against the Malkin-Crosby line each is smart.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Tyler Johnson is so damn fast.

 

[The Macho King]

Power play because you can't handle da TKO.

 

[DFC]

I think we just look calmer, if anything. The effort was always there (except maybe against the Isles), but here we look like we've played at this level before.

 

[Brie]

PP time, will we see if there have been a change on the PP or will it still be a 2 minute bathroom break.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

This is the Lightning that has been missing for a while. It's like they found their...spark

 

[DFC]

I'd love to start this PP with TKO. They deserve it. Johnson's the man on this team this year.

 

[Yzlamic Preacher*]

PP time, will we see if there have been a change on the PP or will it still be a 2 minute bathroom break.

2 minutes in the bathroom? Oh to be young again...

 

[Matthew Carle]

PP time, will we see if there have been a change on the PP or will it still be a 2 minute bathroom break.

I laughed a bit louder I guess I should have.
