Michael Stuart: Seeking Revenge: Lightning Set to Face Wild at Amalie Arena

Michael,

In reply to other thread I looked again and Bryan Burns the beat writer said JT Brown is playing but did not say who else sits out so I could be wrong and its Morrow on the bench.

I would go with Connolly

Drouin-Stamkos-Callahan
Palat-Johnson-Kucherov
Killorn-Filppula-Connolly
Paquette-Morrow-Brown

And this is the final game of 10 in 17 days, if they win tonight I think go 6-3-1 in that stretch is not bad at all. I hope they come out for a little redemption tonight.

Go Bolts.

I dont have a good feeling about this game for the Wild. At the X the wild employed Haula to shutdown the Stamkos line, and with his speed he did an admirable job. Tonight, with the last line change, I think they will try to throw Stamkos out there against Granlund or Coyle with, what I think will be, devastating results for the Wild. Hope Im wrong ha!! Go Wild

I hope your right

I was wondering when this would happen....

Here it comes...

A playoff series between these two clubs would be so much fun.

I'd love to see a 1-16, no conference playoff setup. So many potential quality matchups.

There's a lot of animosity out there for two teams that rarely play each other...

I love that these two teams seem to hate each other... and play against one another like...never.

Two things:

1) I really like this Minny team. They have some speed, a good system and some snarl to their game. Best of luck, Wild! You have a pretty good team!

2) Killlllerrrrrr. Killorn, who I've been an unabashed advocate of for some time now, yet again proves why he's the kind of guy that you need on winning teams. No, he'll never pot 30. He'll occasionally get too rambunctious in front of the opposing net (goalie interference, etc).... but he plays a strong two-way game, blocks shots, plays with an edge, has some skill and scores clutch goals.

I honestly believe with all my heart this is your Stanley Cup Finals, not THIS season but next year! Watch.

Wouldn't bet against you on that. The Bolts should take a series this year, but I don't see us getting past the second round. That said, the '11 team didn't even seem, on paper, like it'd be any better than an 8th seed one-and-done when the season began... so you never know!

I see us going far but not The Finals. Probably ECF.
