Was the puck actively trying to avoid us that third period?

Nah we're just actively tanking for Wright.

He'd be coming of his entry level when Stammer is up.

No we just trying to make our 1st round pick more valuable for the deadline

Maroon is replacing Katchouk. Booo!

2 quick goals! Just what we needed not just for the game, but for the season too

Absolutely.

What do you think of the new lines?

What lines are we looking at? I can't watch it?

Killorn-Point-Cirelli
Palat-Stamkos-Joseph
Maroon-Colton-Perry
BB-Bellemare-Raddysh

I like the lines. I thought they were good before and couldn't catch a break vs. Buffalo though. I am a fan of splitting Stamkos from Point and still keeping Killorn-Cirelli together. I guess BB and Katchouk will swap in and out of the lineup, but outside of a nifty pass to Palat on his goal he's been quiet.

Nice.

I had a look at the 3 goals. And it has to be said, I'm all for inclusion and everything but Pittsburgh's decision to employ a goalie without a glove hand is questionable.

BB ruined Vasy's shutout. Give me Katchouk.

Katchouk slowly becoming the fan favourite of the three.

He's got moxie get him in the lineup! :-P

Penalty should have went to Bellemare, not BB.

Wish Coop would split up Maroon and Perry, not enough foot speed for my liking.

That game was much more like the Lightning of the last two years, wish Vasy could have got that shutout though.

I really think Katchouk and Raddysh together could become solid replacements to Goodrow-Coleman. I'm hoping they make it too obvious of a choice to keep them together, but BB eating into their games might prevent or delay it this season.

Perry's speed has been concerning. I think he could really be exposed if we are still relying on him to be a third line player come the playoffs.

Perry's game isn't speed. And the way he has elevated his game in the past two season I'm not worried about him come playoffs. I worry that him and Maroon fill too much of the same niche.

His big thing from the past two Stanley Cup finals has been his ability to drag his team into the fight, problem with being on a line with Maroon is he doesn't need to be dragged anywhere, he's already biting someone.

I don't mind Perry's game, it's just that it belongs on the 4th line come playoffs. It works now for October, but we're going to have to find someone other than Perry and Maroon to be 3rd line wingers.

Katchouk and Raddysh will be up there come April.

Meesa hope so. Or maybe Joseph. I'm always pulling for Joseph to claim a larger role within the lineup.

Killer-Point-Cirelli
Palat-Stammer-Jo
ABB-Colton-Kucherov(lol)
Katchouk-Bells-PerryMaroonRaddyshWehavetoomanyforwards

That looks about right 😅

In my fantasy world of Katchouk-Raddysh domination, I want:
Palat-Point-Kucherov
Killorn-Cirelli-Stamkos
Katchouk-Bellemare-Raddysh
Maroon-Colton-Perry/Joseph

It was really Killorn

Our king is returning to the Motherland.

Did you post the first one to the wrong thread? :-D

No lol.

I had posted in that thread the other day that he was probably going to SKA. But he is OUR king.
