Michael Stuart: Bishop Blanks Red Wings

This is crazy. It going to be a wild ride the rest of the year. They outplay the Devils and lose, they go toe to toe with the Wings and pull away in the third after a horrible second. This team doesn't know adversity which is a good thing, I never truly feel that they are out of a game.

If Bishop continues to play like he has, our players get healthy (Stamkos), and all these rookies take the time on the ice and learn and get better it will be a good thing.

This is the craziest thing to me about the current Bolts, all the players with less then one season of games played currently on the roster is over half the team:

Brown: 21 NHL Games
Johnson: 47 NHL Games
Killorn: 71 NHL Games
Kucherov: 10 NHL Games
Labrie: 46 NHL Games
Palat: 47 NHL Games
Panik: 53 NHL Games
Barberio: 21 NHL Games
Gudas: 50 NHL Games
Sustr: 28 NHL Games
Taormina: 50 NHL Games
Bishop: 70 NHL Games
Lindback: 72 NHL Games

Then guys currently not on the roster that skated this year:

Korborov: 1 NHL Game
Connolly: 84 NHL Games, just past a season

Think about it this way, our team is extremely young and are competing at .500 or above without the ONE OF THE TOP THREE BESTS PLAYER IN HOCKEY.

With Drouin, Namestnikov, Gudlevskis, Vasilevsky, and Erne on the way. Plus other prospects who might pan out.

I cant help but think good things for the Bolts!!

TeeeeeeJay!!!!!

Hey, any of you remember when that Rangers fan came in asking Who the (frank) is Radko Gudas? Teams are beginning to learn that's for damn sure

Speaking of Radko, did he break Franzen?

Aren't any of you in awe of Bishops stat line?

I am not a huge stat guy but as I have said many times this year that without Bishop the Bolts would not be anywhere near the top of the standings. He is single handedly the Bolts MVP so far this season. If he continues those numbers it bodes well for the Bolts when they get healthy at the turn of the year heading for a possible playoff spot.

The future is bright. There's no doubt about that.

I do remember. Ray Ferraro from TSN (I believe it was him) said that teams around the league would soon know the name Radko Gudas. They're learning about him now.

There saying that Gudas hit Franzen high, you think there is a suspension in his future?

I don't think that is a suspendable hit, Franzen came in on him on the play and it was almost like Gudas was on his heels and put up his arms to deflect some of the contact. At least that is how I saw it, but its the Toronto office so truthfully there is no telling what they will do.

I didn't think it looked particularly vicious. If there's a suspension I'd be surprised.

i think that was a (frank)ing steal. i love conacher as much as the next guy, i REALLY like him...but lets be honest here, steve yzerman (frank)ing robbed the senators of that one..no disrespect or anything, but bishop has been simply outstanding. he is one of the top 5 goalies in every category in the league, wow

has bishop really been that good? [that's a serious and open to anyone question].

Conacher is a great team mate and I like him but who did he play with to produce like he did and what do you think of his play when he was scoring?

I think he needs to be in the AHL playing like St. Louis did.

Yes. He's been brilliant. TB wouldn't be anywhere near the top of the standings without him.

Conacher produced when he was with st louis and stamkos, #MyGrandmaCould
seriously though, hes numbers were a result of stammer n marty...although he DOES have potential to be a good NHL'er, he models his game after marty, except hes a little grittier, which is never a bad thing.. a good prosepct that i still hope pans out, i like him a lot
