"bare" through it is right . . . just pull down your pants, and slide on the ice.

Goodrow hasn't recorded a goal or assist in 84 years as well.

Make it 2 hats.

i swear i have only seen him score empty netters this year.

Tampa Bay Fans are spoiled if they're not winning at a 70%+ clip the world's coming to an end.

Goodrow has 5 goals this year. If my memory is serving me right, 3 of those are EN's

He's been invisible on the 3rd line. Still good on the PK and man disadvantage, but he does nothing at 5on5. He should be sent down to the 4th line. Everyone on the 4th line can produce more than him.

I'd like to see a few more games of Goodrow-Johnson-Coleman. They seemed to play decent together in their few games early in the season. I also want to see Gourde with Stamkos and Cirelli with Point again, thought those lines worked pretty well together. Allows us to keep our best line (4th) intact as well

The 4th is overachieving at an unsustainable rate. Colton is shooting like 30% but his AHL average is like 10%. I wouldn't mind breaking them up if it meant more opportunities for Colton and Joseph. I want Maroon with Point, but me and Cooper don't think alike.

I agree with Johnsson though. In-between Goodrow and Coleman is where he has consistently looked the best. I'm not too sure we'll see it. Cooper seems to be trying to make what worked last year work again and force the issue with the Goodrow-Gourde-Coleman line, but they just don't have the same pop right now.

How about
Palat-Point-Joseph
Colton-Gourde-Stamkos
Killorn-Cirelli-Coleman
Goodrow-Johnson-Maroon
?

I don't think Joseph is a Top 6 guy. 3rd line and maybe 2nd at most. Putting Colton with Stamkos would be interesting.

Switch Joseph and Cirelli?

I didn't like Cirelli with Point much either. He's kind of been invisible since he returned from injury.

I just changed the lines on my most recent ACGM:
Palat-Point-Coleman
Gourde-Colton-Stamkos
Killorn-Cirelli-Joseph
Walcott-Goodrow-Maroon

The Cirelli line looked decent when we ran that configuration a few times to start the season. Walcott could be replaced with Johnsson, but I wouldn't mind Johnson having a game or 2 to think of some of his recent on ice difficulties.

Why do you want Walcott to play? If we're going to take Johnson out I think Smith deserves another game. He basically got Johnson 2 goals in a game when they weren't even on the same line. Maybe he can do it for someone else now.

Walcott has been part of the AHL equivalent of the Goodrow-Gourde-Coleman line.
Walcott-Huntington-Witkowski have been very good at shutting things down when on the ice for Syracuse.
I just think he's earned a chance to make his NHL debut though.

Maybe, but I still think Smith deserves another game. He actually played pretty well this year in the few games

Stephens will probably be back after Saturday, at the latest. Going to be a lot of competition for roster spots.

I think Stephens injury really screwed him over. Don't really think he'll be playing any more than Volkov did before we traded him

Maybe. Volkov was always the 13F, and then Colton came along. Stephens was locked in as 4C. I think he'll have a chance to prove it is still his job.

Maybe. Volkov was always the 13F, and then Colton came along. Stephens was locked in as 4C. I think he'll have a chance to prove it is still his job. Double post

At this point though who is he going to knock out of the lineup? Johnson? Goodrow (PK too good)? Not Colton, Joseph, Marooon. He'd have to show he's better than Johnson, but then where does that leave us when we have to try and get rid of him next year. The cost is gonna be ridiculous if he doesn't even play. We just have to hope he starts scoring
