[RussianGuyovich]

He has his own "Ice Man"

Too soon

RIP Val

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Don't know who it says more about when Goncalves looks far far better than Bjorkstrand right now. Good for GG93 for turning his game up a level

 

[Hockeyville USA]

We gonna get a bounce that goes in tonight?

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Toronto is going to get hurt just by the sheer number of blocked shots today.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

We gonna get a bounce that goes in tonight?

No, its just one of those days where the offense is going to be snake bitten and make mistakes that Toronto will capitalize on.

lfggggggggggg

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Even kucherov can’t make a good pass.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

f***ing hell

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Hey Kuch, here's a thought....How about you hit the f***ing net?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Ahh Kuch..

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Gourde is gonna be a big piece come playoffs.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Raddysh sacrificing the body to give kucherov another chance to miss over the net by 3 feet

 

[Hockeyville USA]

Gourde is gonna be a big piece come playoffs.

The question is, will Bjorkstrand be a positive piece?

 

[Lightning1995]

Team is playing hard, ashamed they weren’t ready to go from the jump.

Need two goals this period to take control of the division. The import of this game is massive

 

[Game suspension]

Gourde is gonna be a big piece come playoffs.

A big piece of ? Seems to panic a lot is my observation.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

The question is, will Bjorkstrand be a positive piece?

I hope so. The last time he was in the playoffs in 2023, he had both goals in a 2-1 win over the defending cup champs Colorado to eliminate them in a game 7.

So hopefully he can come up big for us too.

Wanna guess though who assisted on both those goals? Yanni Gourde

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Bjork passes the eye test as he looks effective, but I would agree that his numbers are underwhelming so far. I remain optimistic.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Look no further than his playoff performances for both Tampa and Seattle. He was huge in both of our 2020 and 2021 Cup wins. He's a guy Coop put on the ice as much as he could when he already had Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point.

I remember one of those goals was batted into the net by Ben Meyers' glove lmao

 

[Lightning1995]

Who steps in for Gladdening if this is long term? There’s really no one to handle 4C duties in the organization besides Paul, who would be a big upgrade but a waste of talent at that position

Still counts. Just like Garrison shooting a playoff OT winner off of TJ's butt in 2016

Bjorkstrand's 2nd one was nice though

Islanders right

 

[Master P]

BJORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Ask and he delivers.
