GDT: 2/17/24 - 5:00PM EDT - Florida vs Tampa Bay

Won’t get anyone with term because Stamkos will want 8.5 AAV per year again to use all our cap space up

Stamkos isn't getting 8.5. If he wants that, more power to him and good luck on your new team. 6-6.5 is realistically what Tampa can afford and still also afford an upgrade in the ~4 million range on the blueline/F group.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

How could Jeff Blashill do this to us!

He was whispering something to Cooper after the 9th goal. I’m thinking what can this clown possibly have to say right now?

 

[The Gongshow]

Let's get back to the game why don't we.

Think Vasy starts on Monday or should he take the game off and reset? Coop have the balls to bench him?!?!

6.5 is what I'm hoping. Anything less would be fantastic. If it's over 7 then thsts gonna hurt

 

[Point21]

Can someone get a We Want Roy chant going?

 

[dechire]

I feel like this game might be the best argument for Kucherov to get the Hart trophy lol

 

[The Gongshow]

He starts.

But does he show up is the question!

6 to 6.5 is still too high. Not a penny more than 4.

How? he's a team worst -5 on the night.....lol

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Guys I'm so sorry

This is what I don't get about the McKinnon Hart:

Kuch is like 40 points higher than our next player.
Rantanen has 70+ points, Makar has 60. Their team is rolling.
Without Kuch we would legit be a lottery team
Kuch is far more valuable to his team

 

[JFleegs]

Guys I'm so sorry

We were due for a stinker

 

[JoVel]

I hope they at least get the 10th goal because I don't remember when that last happened with us.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Lol Engblom raving about Kuch’s “fade-away jumper”. Dude we’re losing 9-1.

 

[Ducati Boy]

The silver lining is that 9-1 counts the same as 3-2 loss. The bonus is that it should really piss us off for the Ottawa game.

 

[The Gongshow]

JBB this is what you made this team to be

 

[Point21]

im still on the "sell the dead weight like Sheary and be a broker team at the deadline" train

 

[The Gongshow]

Leafs gonna jump us tonight

 

[dechire]

Just f***ing score please

 

[The Gongshow]

im still on the "sell the dead weight like Sheary and be a broker team at the deadline" train

Sheary has negative value

 

[Master P]

POINT!

If he played like Taylor Hall did when he won the Hart with the Devils, I'd say it's a mark against him. Hall cherry picked the entire game because he was the only offensive threat for them, and it worked in the regular season.

 

[Point21]

KUCH GETS A POINT!!!
