Speculation: 2024-2025 General Lightning Discussion I

[Hockeyville USA]

Except Cirelli, Hagel, Geekie, Paul and Hedman have also been much more good than bad. The McD-Cernak pairing has had some early struggles, and the injuries to Cernak haven't helped, but they should only get better as they get more games together. The 3rd defensive pairing likely needs an add or the defensive pairings need to be blended, and a middle 6 F needs to be added. The team isn't winning or losing because of the 4th line's struggles offensively, so if they can add one RW to provide 3 solid lines, they should be fine there.

You're way too optimistic. All of them would have been more good than bad until this 4 game skid. And it's a costly skid.

McDonagh and Hedman are showing age, no way around the truth of it, sorry. Hagel and Cirelli have looked worse since the Point injury because the lines are f***ed & Cooper doesn't know what he's doing at the moment.

Damn guys seasons over cause of a 4 game skid, everyone pack your bags.

 

[Stelio Kontos]

Random question but Did we have the most brain dead bottom 6 in nhl history last year with Watson Sheary and Jeannot? Good god man

And you're extremely doom and gloom, sky is falling pessimistic over a bad 4 games.

I'm glad we have a week off now, hopefully the team figures out PP and gets back in to form.

Can they even do team practices during these weeks off? Wasn't there some controversy when the Leafs traveled for an away game a few hours before the week was up?
