Some really cool jazz. Miles Davis with full orchestration and it is haunting, beautiful, and powerful.

That is legit. The Lightning have played an extra season and no doubt it takes a toll. That happened to the great Bills teams under Levy. They played an extra season to get to four Super Bowl.

Canes 6 Tampa 0 The Sabres softened them up, with help from Cooper, and Carolina pounded them today, even with a rested first line. Bench your best 3 forwards for a period and still get killed. He was 0 for 4 on a back to back. That’s 5 or 6 losses in a row.

God I hope not. To many teams right now. We don't play our division enough as it is. STOP Expansion. Forget Atlanta for good and leave Arizona.

Greenway will play, he is in next years plan and he will play as soon as he can. That puts someone on the bench right now. Most likely that is Vinnie, but maybe not. VO and JJP have not outplayed him since he has been back from Rochester. A rotation is not out of the question. Again, no one needs to go to Rochester. When Tuch comes back someone else sits and at that point we have 2 spare forwards. You can guess that 2 of the 3 - Vinnie, VO, and JJP - will sit when Tuch gets back (assuming he does). Granato will most likely base the decision on many factors such as the opponent, how they are playing, and if anyone else is dinged up and needs a rest.

I don’t think that is obvious at all. Waivers are not in play, it’s after the trade deadline and the roster can be bigger. It could be Vinnie, or Olofsson, or Peterka. It could be a rotation.

No we are not an organization. You understand exactly I said and meant, you just like to look at things from another angle.

It didn’t work YESTERDAY.

No it’s good. A good organization has some contrarian thinkers to prevent drinking the koolaid, group think.

You are a true Contrarian.

You can fast forward using the slider on the bottom. Buffalo moved up from 15 to 13.

And he can score. So he could fit somewhere else that needs help on the PP or a finisher type of winger.

He is just poor mouthing. They are neck and neck with Buffalo and Ottawa right now. He has fewer prospects than Buffalo no doubt, but he now has two 1’s in each of the next two drafts.

Which is why things got out of hand.

Really? I did not know that and he said himself he was out due to a lingering problem. He should not play at all if he has a concussion.

Yup. Great team effort and Comrie played very well. Stillman did not have to fight that guy. I am sure Jeannot asked him and he felt he had to go. There were so many other Tampa players that needed to be pounded. Nick Paul is at the top of the list. Cernak didn't play. Expected more from you John.

OK. Start us off.

What? That should have started a few years ago when Cernak concussed Dahlin, and then Kucherov ended Sobotka's career.

Dahlin only played 15:43 and I hardly saw him in the 3rd period now that you mention it. Power played 24:54 Samuelsson 24:22 Looby 23:17 Joker 20:26 Stillman 7:57 Just when we had a Bryson/Clague free game.

I never did hate him or the trade. I like him even more now. So he lost a fight. I hope he comes back soon.

They just lost their 4th in a row with their best line sitting on the bench. Thinking of tomorrow is not smart to me but ok, he knows his team. Was he sending a message? Sure. Was he thinking he could run his goons and push us around? Yes. Did it work? No.

It didn’t work but ok. I’ll take a period without Point, Kucherov and Stamkos. I loved it.

Tampa coach had Stamkos, Point and Kucherov on the bench the whole period. Mind games.

He stinks

Everything about that Tampa shorty was LAZY play. Afraid to challenge Jeannot for the puck, no one covering Killorn. UGLY
