Given the gloves he's wearing, I figure he was the one who brought out the trophy.
I come bearing gifts from yesterday.
For TBT:
His hands are ridiculous, he pulled a similar move on Kucherov (I think it was him?) in the 3 on 3 today.
Not sure if this is what you're referencing, but here he is going Jonny Dangles on Adam Erne.
I love these vids guys. I have been sharing them on my FB. I am from Halifax and have a lot of friends that watched Jo the last few years with the Moose, that wouldn't get to see them otherwise.
I'd like to hear about Salminen too.Thanks for the Infos guys, anything about Vermin (sp.) or Salminen
Per his tweet, Welychka is coming back for rookie camp, which means he's passed Phase 1 on his way to a contract.
For those keeping track at home (we are), Welychka and Olson are coming back. Waiting on Brassart, Campbell, Kuynk, Brassard. #TBLightning

Most exciting for me is Nikita Gusev attending. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but why come all the way over unless you are considering signing a contract with the Lightning?
Pretty cool.
Any chance Erne makes the big team this year?
Gudlevskis should be in Florida already. He departed from Riga two days ago.
Like me! It was a privilege to watch Jo, you guys are in for a treat. He's gonna be a dynamo, and he and Stamkos are going to be terrifying to play against. Crosby + Malkin may be Sakic + Forsberg, but now you've got your Kariya + Selanne. It's gonna be fun to watch.

Wilcox needs to stay put. He's in a good program and there's no need to rush a young guy like him. With Desjardins and Helenius already under contract and Gudlevskis possibly the replacement for Nagle on the depth chart there's no room for him anyway.All the goalies impressed me broussard? going seven round shootout stoning people he deserves future look imo wilcox? Hope he leaves college comes to the cuse this year honestly. Cristers? Had a feeling for sure second best goalie.
It's highly highly unlikely Erne makes the team. Really, his chances are slim to none. It's the same as Wilcox, take it slow. He's 18 right out of the draft. Give him time. Besides you have a ton of players in Syracuse who are much more prepared and developed like Connolly, Panik, Brown, Palat, and Johnson.I am unsure if drouin is right off bat call up think erne makes it this year think palat and johnson get full shots and deserve them also think d barberio should get his shot he earned it others might disagree.
Not Koekkoek. He's too young. He has to be 20 to be AHL eligible.Plenty of d sustr sergeev koekkoek witkowski korobov all in syracuse this year?
Connolly's stats where fine. He's ready. It's just a question if he's better than his competition when training camp comes around. There's only a few spots open and it might be even harder if it's a certain role they want him to play.Connolly I do not view as ready he needs another year his stats fell off in playoffs also namestinikov needs at least a year.
Crombeen in there somewhere too.Seeming more and more we keep malone and do nothing on trades for D right now
I do not agree with that but im not stevie and have faith in stevie and cooper.
Lines killorn marty stammer purcell valtteri drouin? malone johnson palat? thompson panik and than take your pick labrie and any number of guys they can bring up etc..
I agree on Tyrell. His time in running out here. His offensive game never developed at the NHL level and although he can hit, he's really not built to hold up as a 4th liner. I'm viewing him and Pyatt around the same right now in the sense that they were both Boucher loved players who aren't really in the future plan with Coop as the new head coach. I don't think Cooper liked Pyatt as much because he scratched him and Pouliot a lot near the end. Pouliot wasn't apart of the plan and wasn't retained. So Pyatt and Tyrell are here so he'll use them possibly, but I would have to guess if they were UFAs or RFAs this season, they wouldn't be coming back.I think tryrell is done they seem to really like pyatt smart but undersized cooper likes him though yet think is matter of time till some of these guys push through.
Drouin and Erne can't play in the AHL this year. Like Koekkoek it's either the NHL or back to the CHL.I do not see kucherov drouin erne staying in ahl for a full year?
One note is like 6-7 good rooms on facebook talk about lightning is some hmmmm not smart fans lol whom dont get it at times which I am sure some of you would agree if were members of those pages lol but is what it is.
Have people whom say stevie has to get to playoffs to keep job lol.
Have people whom say defense is terrible without having stats or knowing stats or without knowledge of how bad boucher system was on the d?
Yet is some very good peeps on some of these boards knowledge is good lots of sharing of stuff from twitter etc.. GOOD STUFF.
Thanks everyone for your views and submissions cause I am gonna get busy with work so anything that makes it easier for me to get my hockey fix lol and knowledge of what I love is sooooo appreciated words wont ever suffice!!
I mean that and consider you all friends because of it!!
Greetings from Latvia, guys. I am very curious about how our Gudlevskis did in the camp? He had his breakout moment this year playing successfully in the WC but can he become an NHL goalie? Seeing how everyone is very impressed with Vasilevsky, there seems to be little room for Gudlevskis. Please share your thoughts, cheers
Ok, some things about Vasilevskiy. He's, by far, better than any other goalie prospect in our system. Gudlevskis is a rougher similarly sized version of Vasilevskiy. Gudlevskis is not as far along as Vasya and he's older. This isn't to say that Gudlevskis doesn't have a shot at making the NHL, he's just going to have to work and learn in the ECHL/AHL. Problem for him, he's going to be learning from Franz Jean.
Why is that guy still around?? Haven't we seen enough failure from our goalies to say goodbye to this guy? That's the one thing I don't like about what were doing right now. We are throwing our young goalies into the show and this clown is teaching them. Why can't we get a vet to let these guys develop a bit more and then get rid of Jean for a proven coach.

Welcome to HF! This place right here has some of the most knowledgeable and devoted bolt fans you'll find around. It's a really great group.
