Plus we saw tonight what Meier can and will add to this team. He is the best pure scorer I’ve seen here since Kovey. Both of those scores tonight were 105 millimeter point blank canon shots. It’s something we’ve not had in years and a big piece in the edifice we’re building. He and Stamkos 2 goals each tonight. That’s the equivalence.

I don’t actually understand what’s happening with Bratt. It doesn’t seem physical, he’s skating as good as ever.
Wish Bratt hadn’t blown a tire when he was cutting in alone for a chance in OT. He was going to be clean behind the gassed defender for a glorious look and with a head of speed.

I don't like having a point percentage under .700
Go fix that this weekend

I love the storyline of young upstart team looking to break through vs the savvy veteran team. They got us twice but you can tell we’re figuring it out. Tonight was an improvement in some ways .

I agree it isn’t his wheels. I suspect it’s emotional. The contract dragging on must be weighing on him. My guess is he’s conflicted. His agent is telling him to hold out but he sees what’s developing and doesn’t want to leave.

At this rate, Meier and Mercer may surpass Bratt in points by the end of the season. 6th on the team in points doesn’t exactly call for a massive pay day.

He should just sign a friendly 3 year contract then and stop worrying about it and get into the game 100%

To further highlight Nico’s game tonight:
2 A, +1, 6 SOG, 3 hits, 2 blocks and went 17-23 in the dot to a 74% faceoff win rate. This includes going 9-10 in the offensive zone.

I’m super glad Meier got going tonight. I’m sure he’ll feel good about his game going forward. His celly on the 2nd goal was awesome and full of emotion. Good to see.
Also, decided to go back to the previous avatar. Jack was going crazy when I had it, maybe it’s the good luck charm for him. Let’s keep rolling!

I hate the thought of splitting up the Tatar-Nico-Mercer line but getting Bratt going might require it.
Bratt-Nico-Mercer
Tatar-Jack-Meier
Palat-Haula-Boqvist
Wood/Rango-McLeod-Bastian/Lazar
I only do this when it becomes absolutely necessary. But Bratt needs to get going somehow. I don't know if continuing to try him with Jack and Timo works.

What an absolute legend. Love the guy. Apparently he loves it here too! Good stuff!
Best loss of the year if that makes any sense....Better with a W and if ot went another 5 pretty sure we win that game.....Not a huge fan of the shootout....Thought they played hard Tampa just disrupted their rhythm.....

I mean lmfao we played great.
Super happy we got a point. Not getting at least one with that type of effort would’ve been deflating. We were the better team by a pretty significant margin after the first.

Love Dougie and from what we tend to here he seems like a really good guy, but come on. This doesn’t pass the smell test. Nichols is probably mistaking some folks Dougie knows for fans. Lol
This was a whole different level of opposition and of pressure. It forces us to raise our level of play and to play a different kind of a game. People said that the Carolina game had a playoff feel but I really thought that it was tonight that started to feel like a playoff game. We had really wet the bed against them Tuesday and didn’t put up much of a flight in the last 2 periods. The pressure on us not to get beat again was intense tonight and we really did rise to the occasion despite everything going wrong that could go wrong - a bad bounce goal against 90 seconds in; blowing a 5 on 3 and getting scored on right after; giving up a potential game loser with 4 minutes and change left . . . And we keep coming back and coming back and get the game to OT.
Whatever happens in the playoffs this team isn’t going to go quietly. We’re learning what it takes to win at every level and phase of the season. We will learn more from this game tonight than if we’d blown them out.

I agree. From my standpoint, making the playoffs was the goal. It’s our first year turning the corner and we do this? It’s only the beginning.
Whatever happens going forward, we have a special group. I hope people will remember that. It’s the first big season for us, much more to come and many more young and talented guys to come along.

Look at that celly! That’s a man finding his mojo!
Two are losing their minds
One kid is at a loss for words
And one is in tears
