Hope Coop never changes it again!

 

[StammerHammer]

Glad to see Geekie still in the lineup. He was a little reckless last night and I was afraid he might end up in Cooper's doghouse.

I'll post this here, since the tv/streaming thread may not get as much attention.



It's just a name change from Bally. We have a game against the Leafs that day, so we won't have to wait long.

The Lightning's Thanksgiving game is sponsored by Bally. I guess it's sponsored by the FanDuel Network, or whatever, now.

Question is will they go with Johansson given that this is an early game and that they have a big game against the leafs on Monday

 

[DFC]

Cooper doesn't change lines when we are winning.

 

[Zwui21]

This is gonna be the best line in hockey for the next couple of years. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride fellas.

That line could have had 5 fairly easily last night.

I think two of the three ringers came from them.

we have a back to back mon/tues so he will sit one of those two but should play Vs Ottawa

So... When does JJ get his first start?

 

[Sky04]

There's no way Guentzal is only 5'11, he seems like he has so much more reach than Kucherov and his strides are bigger than Stamkos' who's 6'1. He plays a big game and he covers so much his with his strides.

But he's played every game.

He might just be a legit 5'11. I think Kucherov is closer to 5'9 or 5'10.

Fix the damn power play put point in Stamkos old spot and put Jake in the bumper spot .

LW - Point C - Guentzel , RW kucherov

LD hedman, RD N. Paul

Use Paul to take the center draws

Probably nothing but maybe scouting Robertson or Kakko

I agree it's probably nothing. TBL played in Ottawa yesterday, and play Toronto tomorrow. They might as well watch the Leafs if they're already in Toronto.

It was an obvious choice after Stammer walk but people were saying that Point doesn't have a good one timer. Maybe he doesn't but it would still be much better than Raddysh

I was 100% sure Kakko would transition well to NHL with his size but he hasn't taken any steps forward in his five seasons so far. He could get it together with a change of scenery but at this point it looks doubtful.

I like Nick Robertson a lot. He would be a perfect fit for us if we can afford him.


JBB! Send back Sheary and Perbix for Roberston and my life is yours!

Draws weren’t really the issue for the PP1 unit last night though or am i remembering this wrong? Paul would replace Jake as the net front guy, not sure he’s better than him there. Of course it worked fine last season when Paul replaced Killorn as the “around the net” guy.

Putting Paul in front and behind the net would likely push Jake to the left side as Point is the bumper but Jake is a LH shot. Coop wants a RH shot for the double one timer threat from both sides though - at least for the time being. That’s why we have Raddysh there. Maybe they just need a little more time.

So unless we want Cernak or Perbix or Chaffee or Atkinson or Glendening on the first unit it’s Raddysh’s spot. Point is good at a lot of things but full blast one timers don’t seem to be one of them. We really don’t have a legit RH shot alternative.
