Michael Stuart: No Stamkos, No Problem: Filppula's Three Points Push Lightning Past Ducks

Lets keep this train rolling. I think JON COOPER is really the find for the Lightning.

And shoot more... lol... had to say it.

GO BOLTS!!!!

Second who is going to fight Maroon next week for barreling into Bishop like he did with 7 seconds left. Looked and felt cheap from where I sitting in the stands.

whoever fights him, hope its not punchingbagface 19

Great effort by the whole team! Hopefully we can proove to everyone around the nhl that we are still good without stammer!! When he comes back we can really make a push for the cup!

Oh btw.. Hedmans shot is really accurate.. Realized that a number of different times but today when he picked the right corner it just got me really excited for the kind of defenseman we have in him.

He's been awesome. I said this at times last season, but Cooper deserves so much more attention than he gets.

That was pretty bush league.

Way too early to even be thinking about that. And we don't really have a timeline on Stamkos, either. Best case scenario he's back for the Olympics. Worst case is that he's out for the season. Take things one game at a time.

He's so underrated.

This was a pretty big statement game. In my opinion the team is using the Stamkos injury as a rallying point. If everyone steps up their game, the team will continue to play well until he come back; the look out!

Gudas hit on Selanne was a beauty! Lifted me right off the couch

His hit on Selanne was great, and so was his one on Perry. Anaheim learned to fear the beard.

Now I miss stamkos a lot but with him out the players are shooting more now not looking to pass. Guys like flip, Johnson, Killorn and Connolly know they must step up and shoot more now. From the point as we'll Herman and carle are throwing the puck at the net.

I don't think stammer is coming back till October 2014 yzerman does not like to take chances.

If he's healthy, he'll play. This isn't like a concussion. When he's healed, he's healed.

or did they fear the Fu Manchu?

True but it's going to take him at least a month to get his legs back in nhl shape

Do you think stammer can return in March ?

I see all the reports that a few Ducks had the flu- the duck flu-new one here but probably a variation of the South Beach Flu or the Ybor City Flu common Florida flus cousin to the Irish Flu everyone gets from time to time on Monday mornings. Excuses excuses and they said the real team will be ready next Friday. That's next week we will take another two to the bank until then.

That was pretty embarrassing when Allen turtles on Malone boy he's one big turtle. I always liked Selanne great player but he had a look on his face after the Gudas hit like its 21 years no one hits me like that. I'm sure the Ducks will be physical next week and Maroon will be looking to do a John Scott

man we were hitting to hurt last night, ducks probably want nothing to do with us next week, everytime they tried to hit us they ended up on their ass

I realize theyre without their best player, but so were we...and I realize perry was sick but theres still WAY more good things to take out of this than bad, what a great game..

barberio had a good game tonight, of course he did..we were on offense almost the entire game...still good to see it out of him though and maybe a game like tonight could boost up his confidence a bit, he wasn't bad in the defensive zone tonight but not GREAT , almost had another give-away like opening night ,

It has been SO hard not to go to the Detroit thread and troll like only I know how to over Val!
