Tampa has a +74 goal differential

[Vukotal Recall]

Why aren't they dominating the standings?

 

[creg]

we win big and lose a lot of close games (which tbf is probably what you want out of games)

we had a pretty brutal run through end of december - january where our team's shooting went into the gutter which also coincided with our most dense schedule of the season (this included losses to Bruins, Detroit, Sharks, Blackhawks, Ducks)

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

They are my pick to win the cup, no holes and the best coach

 

[WarriorofTime]

If they win in regulation tomorrow, they'll be in 1st with the tiebreaker in the Atlantic Division

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

if they had Stamer it would be 100+







rite?

 

[Power Surge]

Hf Tampa credits the Empty net assassins.

 

[Iggys Dome]

Tampa Vegas final

 

[RussianGuyovich]

does this count as an anti-jinx?

 

[GlitchMarner]

I won't be surprised if they make it out of the Atlantic.

Now wake up

Stamkos looks lost without kucherov feeding him.

Isn't ROW the first tiebreaker?

Edit: I'm wrong, it's regulation wins first

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Win big, lose small. Pretty simple really.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Sleeper cup contender again

Goal differential is a great indicator of success. Look at the standings right now:

Every team with a + differential is in a playoff spot.
Every non-playoff team has a - differential.
3 of 4 divisions are being led by the team with the highest differential.

Now, it isn't a shocker that the teams that score lots of goals, and give up few, are good teams. But it's still a crazy good measure of how a team's overall season has gone.

Stamkos looks lost without kucherov feeding him.

Meanwhile Guentzel is showing his knack for slotting in with generational players and crushing it like he's been on their line for years.

Guentzel + Tampa is a near-perfect fit.

I don't think people appreciated how important McDonagh was to this team. There's a reason they were so determined to bring him back. He might be the most underrated dman in the league.

No surprise he's leading the league in +/- at +42.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Tampa has scored 8 goals 5 times this season.

They've only lost by 4 goals twice, somehow both games to Boston, and those games had 3 combined empty netters.

It's the effect of running the score a handful of times, not getting blown out basically at all and being a winning team in general.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

It’s because of the tax free thing?

 

[Sky04]

Ryan Mcdonagh is a +40, getting him back and ditching Sergachev was genius.

 

[Sol]

Did I ask?







Jokes aside that’s cool
