Sheary trade incoming!
It’s well known that Crosby has been itching to play with him again.

Rempe

I’m traumatized by the Jeannot experience..

Welp, we're nowhere close to good enough 5v5 against real teams. Might not even be a playoff team if we don't pull our heads out of our asses

Mmmmyeah…

If this is any indication of how the season is gonna go— makes me wonder whether the end of Stamkos is gonna end up turning into the end of Coop and/or JBB

I mean all coaches have their breaking point.

We say this 82 times a year.

As expected, the PP is totally one dimensional without Stamkos. Hedman can't hit the net. The only scoring threats are Point and an occasional Kuch one timer. Too predictable and easy to shut down.

Jake will start burying goals.

 

[Stelio Kontos]

Omg I hate JBB 1 year deal for sprong while we still have Sheary

Yep.. I’d take sprong not being able to play defense over sheary not being able to play in the nhl..

Keep Geekie on the 2nd line

Keep Geekie on the 2nd line

Might not be possible. He might still owe some dues on the third line.

 

[Rschmitz]

Felt like the 2nd line was a lot more aggressive with Geekie on it, even if he didn't directly contribute to every goal. His speed noticeably makes that line quicker at pushing the pace. Paul taking faceoffs on the third line was also a positive outcome.

Having said that, Paul did swap back to the 2nd line in the third period. I like the flip-flopping and it gives us flexibility.

Keep Geekie on the 2nd line

I see hints of a DeBrusk in Geekie. Lets see him generate more confidence and develop..
