Post-Game Talk: Habs defeat Tampa at the Bell Centre.

[NewDef]

Thanks for the Slaf comments guys.

Geez, just watched the highlights. Really do not want to see Evans go. Hope he and team can reach an agreement.

Monty was great.

Suck an egg Kutcherov.

You know what, I'm pretty sure Evans feel the same. This group seem tight and is having fun. I would't be surprised Evans sees staying with the team is likely his best chance to win a cup before the end of his career.

And maybe Reinbacher and Fowler too!! Hehe!!

Indeed Kev, indeed! I'm really starstruck on Fowler. This guy is a gamer and born winner.

The cost of winning and trying to keep a roster together in a salary cap system. Tampa no longer has the talented depth players of their cup days and they probably lack the space to get better.

Kucherov, Hedman, Point and Vasy are now what is left of that once-dominant roster. We are one of the new kids on the block in the east and our rise is imminent. The future is very bright, blindingly bright.

I mean you’re just missing Stamkos and he’s been easily replaced by Hagel and Guentzel so I’m not sure what your point is here.

Tampa’s issue is their D. Mcdonagh is not getting any younger and Hedman has slowed down.

...Tampa won those Cups as much on the back of their depth as their Stars, imo...and they lost most of that depth due to Cap restraints...that's what I imagine he means...

This place need some more Yo-Elle love.

He's been fantastic this year. Unironically one of my favorite players on this team.

...now that he just concentrates on being good defensively and using his size properly, he's been great...what I'm worried about is old Army habits coming back (like playing like garbage when he's not playing for a contract)...

And that's why if you brink him back, it's for 1 year. 2 tops.

Never thought I'd say this but Armia has been great for most of the season. Like 2021 Stanley Cup Run Armia.
