The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
Like the game. But could not help to think this was very similar to playoffs games against the BJs and Habs, the diff is we ended up scoring and their rush chances hit the post.
Need to cut those rush chances and this team will be unstoppable.
 
Refs didn’t impose their will on us tonight.

Good game.

Holl should probably take a seat for Lilly next game.

This, if we can use him as a sweetener to get rid of Ritchie I am totally Down. It frees up 4.5 million in cap space and likely gives us the opportunity to add a real top 6 forward. I have no problem with

Rielly Brodie
Muzzin Liljegren
Sandin Dermott

That D might get you by in the regular season but I doubt it gets you far in the playoffs. The D needs to get heavier IMO. Imagine how easy they would be to play against if Muzzin went down. I'd be looking for a better version of Bogozian at the TDL. TB added Savard last TDL and he was their 4th or 5th best dman.

Well if MTL would be looking to unload him and eat a little bit I would be interested, you throw Dermott as the 7th D man.

Rielly Brodie
Muzzin Liljegren
Sandin Savard
Dermott

sounds pretty solid, bottom four has a grizzled vet with some size on each pairing.

Yep, Tampa won because of Savard.

Liljegren is a better version of Bogosian.

LOL. Where did I say Tampa won because of Savard? If you can't see that the teams with the heavier D went deeper into the playoffs, I can't help you. Lily > Bogo has nothing to do with it. We have too many dmen who do not put any fear into the opposition. Other than Muzzin, who is an opponent afraid to go into a corner against ? Answer, Noooooobody !!

it reflects that they're a +4 team getting .943 goaltending.

Good goaltending wins games? Really?

And it's more like +15 since they got their shit together.

Man, you guys really can't stand the idea the Leafs aren't as bad as you want them to be. Or are these fans of other teams?

Tampa is very fortunate to have their D foundation of Hedman, McDonagh, Sergachev, Cernak. They can seemlessly plug in less talented role players like Rutta, Savard, Schenn, etc... and not miss a beat.

Colorado suffered last playoffs from not having a heavy enough D. Vegas forecheck really killed them late in the series.
