Too bad I would have liked to see Stammer in the plyoffs again

Sadly this was out last chance for a while i think. Strong feeling that when this division gets split up none of them make the playoffs for a few years min. Also Semin and OV will be exposed when theyre not playing broken teams half of the year

Of all 5 teams in the broken division I think Tampa is the closest to competing with the rest of the NHL. Simply based on Bishop and Stammer getting better overthe next few years. Would love to see sid and stammer face off in the conf finals sometime

Salo has played up to snuff and Ohlund is going to retire to behind the bench. Malone is like Kessler injured and of little use playing time. Vinny has been okay not up to number one line but like the sisters getting older. Our young core has been great and with numbers still down in Syracuse so I wouldn't worry about an aging team but a team up against the cap with nowhere to go but lose assets and without all your loser points fighting for a playoff spot. Thanks for your input after three games with a 2.03 GAA and .945 save percentage you really know your hockey.

jon cooper has had like 5 games with them. ben bishop has had 3 and has amazing stats. Johnson, stamkos, lecavalier, st.louis, purcell, connolly, tyrell, panak, killorn...these guys are huge...they are brilliant forwards...

gudas...salo...HEDMAN...barberiocoming up,.. and brewer has shocked me in this 2nd half he has een so much better...we are hurting without hedman and are strong with him

ben bishop and anders lindback....two amazing goaltenders...and whoever doesnt watch the lightnings games doesnt know sh*t about next year...

tell me this team wont make the playoffs for years to come with this roster..this roster is a beast roster and we will make the playoffs

"closest" to competing with other teams? we compete with other teams right now you moron... get a clue

i am from the maritimes in canada, one province over and 2 hours from where sidney crosby was born and raised...i go to annual tournaments hosted in the rink where he played his entire life, and i love sid...but i hope hes done for the rest of the year because i hate penguins fans so much and how bad they all glorify him. everyone knows hes good and you guys just milk that t*tty for everything its worth and you clearly have no hockey sense

Twin sisters?

The lack of respect for those two guys is unbelievable. They are every bit as tough, classy, and heart-filled as Martin St. Louis. They're community minded, stand-up individuals.

Very offensively minded. Creative. Brings an element to our D that we really don't have right now. Free wheeling.

What can I say, I'm like the neighborhood bike, everyone's had a ride.

Miller has been terrible all year or really the defense. Where do you draw the line on goalie capabilities and defensive corps abilities. don't want anything from Buffalo period.
- tpd11

Dude, it is apparent and understandable that you clearly have NOT watched any Sabres games, except perhaps when they have played the Bolts. miller has for most of the season played out of his mind. So, don't take this personally, but your comments are simply ignorant from an uninformed observer. The Bishop trade will fall flat for the Bolts, while Miller would have been a huge improvement for your team...time will show that he has caught lighting in a bottle in Ottawa and was a product of the Sens defensively sound system. Mm,iller is used to being hung out to dry like Bishop has now experienced with Tampa...except Millwr thrives in it...you may not like Millers brunt honesty, but the is no denying his performances. Don't confuse team ineptness with a singles ayers performance.

The crapy thing about it is that I'll probably miss his first game . Wednesday's are ALWAYS super early day at work for me . I may record it to see how well he does.
