I gotta pay that a month just to have the sports package of Sportsnet and TSN since I don't pay for an expensive TV package because I don't really watch much TV these days and prefer the better Internet package. I know someone who had one of those Firesticks and that was nice being able to watch whatever the hell you want but it looks like a pain in the ass to keep up with all that.
Keep up with what? I have a box, it's hardwired to my TV, and that's it... I don't do anything except turn it on, and pick a channel.
Doesn't look like Florida has lost a beat
Gloved that bad boy down like a second baseman. Well done.
They started off pretty slow last year too and went on to win like 18 straight.
We're a week into the season and the Minnesota goalie has more goals than our $13.5m captain
Having watched a bit of their first three, now four games, I feel they are fckng the dog big time. Wouldn't be too worried about what we are seeing as once they decide they want to play they should plow through most of the league. The one concern would be getting significantly weaker play from their D and G. I guess that is every teams worry.Edmonton has gotten the rough end in that period
I see
And JT is been on fire with his ONE goal.Part of the big hype was signing Stamkos. A guy who has significantly declined 5v5, significantly declined defensively and Tampa thought best for him to play wing. His skating is actually worse than Tavares, and by a margin. He was fed by Kucherov and still put up decent points, but was a -21 in regular season, and a -5 in the playoffs.
So now Nashville put him back at C, and he is with Marchessault. Now March is no Kucherov, that much is for sure, and isn't really a setup guy. So after three games, Stamkos is a -2 with no points.
Stamkos put up 39 points last year on the PP, on the team that was tops in the NHL in the regular season. Nashville was mid pack last year, and likely not much better this year, though their start on the PP has been terrible.
It wouldn't shock me to see in in the 40-55 point range this year, and at least a -21 again. His $8 mil contract will be seen as a massive albatross.
A Predators fan said this tonight about him.
That's literally what he did in Tampa too... but Kucherov is Kucherov and repeatedly fed him the puck... he still has a good shot. We had fans proposing swapping Tavares for Stamkos.
- Stamkos appears to have gone to the James Neal school of "Stand around waiting for a one-timer". If he isn't scoring he's invisible...and he isn't scoring. Looks like a terrible contract so far.
