On the kids line..
I thought all three kept answering the bell tonight.
Kakko really controlled play (until the third when it was a lot of special teams play)
Lafrienere clearly can hang at 2RW and had something cooking with Trochek (not to mention that he was PKing tonight!)
Chytil didn't play as much but considering who he played with, I thought he showed he can drive his own line in the bottom six well. Also 75% on the dots tonight!

VK's injury makes GG decision pretty easy. Get Blais healthy and back in there and let's keep it going.

He's a 'name' that has 'earned it', and it was against a rookie, so he gets even extra slack. This is how the NHL manages games.

Yeah I still don’t see anything egregious about the Hedman Kravtsov play

Did you look at their toi tonight? That is one of the only things I am upset about. Kakko getting 13 mins when he was one of our two best players the first period is very frustrating. Chytil earned his (only) 12 mins on ice tonight though...

I liked him on the PP. Actually got in to good positions to shoot.

it's okay cause it's all just the way it should be
Julien Gauthier might be careening into goaltenders on the second or possibly even the first line

Here’s something that will piss off some people
Jones was better than Fox
Jones was better than Fox
Both terrific players for sure and Kovalev oozed skill but Miller for sure will be on that level. Probably even a bit more special with what he can do with his size and speed.

i would be upset but the whole game was spent on special teams it feels like. I do feel like without Laf and Kakko , Chytil struggled.

It's the same as any NHL player. If they see an opponent on the ice they do something/anything to impede them from being able to get up. Kravtsov isn't use to this kind of stuff in NA leagues and protecting yourself.
Yeah but that was mostly driven by 1) special teams play and 2) Kravtsov leaving and Gallant alternating Goodrow between the bottom lines. Lafreniere and Kakko were #1 and #3 in EVTOI tonight, respectively
I think 99.9 percent of us on here are happy to see Jones in there over another loser vet d or Hajek. That statement definitely doesn't piss me off.
Yes lol. Forwards/D

Mika.. super star level performance
Jones..he and schneid were very good
Igor..great typical game
HM. Kk

Zib won us this game
Laf chy need Kk's passing and possession
KZP is my preference
Tro, carp, kravy

Was worried a bit in the first period. We had very few clean breakouts for much of the period. But after the first, things clicked a lot better for the entire team.
It's only one game, but Carpenter seems like an upgrade over Rooney. Rooney is faster, might have more offense, but Carpenter is stronger on FOs. Stronger in the corners, even laid a few big hits and is much better defensively. And to think they also have Rydahl in the A.
The Hedman move on Kravy was pretty bad. But two things that stood out about that: 1 -- Kravy might get this sorta treatment from other teams for a while. Not only because he needs to prove he can handle the physicality, but also, other NHL players might have been paying attention to Kravy forcing himself into the NHL the way he did, and they are likely to test him a whole bunch more. 2 -- I don't know if his teammates saw what happened, but a bit surprised there was no attempt at retaliation. That play was vintage Tampa though. They were quite dirty in the playoffs. We are going to have to find a way to work through that with them and some other teams, but they're the most dirty team in the league right now.
Too many players had good games to bother get into it all, but this team feels different. It's only one game, but something feels different. (in a good way).
