Is this Paquette a legit offensive player? He's definitely the streakiest scorer in the league right now, wow.

Really helped that Butler misplayed that sequence about as bad as you could, just saying.

Bolts deserved a W for that road effort but the Blues were brutal. Probably their worst game of the year but somehow still got 2 points.

Good game by Elliott as he got the Blue two points. I also think the Bolts should have gotten the two but I'll take the one and see the Blues in our barn in a week or so, should be a fun game to see live.

Are you smoking something? Backes was a punk last night.

So everything the Blues did was bad but not the Bolts playing better? Maybe the Bolts made them look bad but of course it's x games in x nights. We are tired. We are missing x and x but not what a better job by the other team. Eliott should be charged with Highway Robbery. See you in a week. When we have the edge of home and match ups

That's the best practice.

Did you read what you wanted to out of my post, especially when I even mentioned it being a good road effort?

But since you brought it up, the lightning didn't cause Butler's rust, AHL Rattie being in the lineup, the brutal, non-pressured giveaways by the D.

As a side note, we noticed Stamkos take some offensive zone draws rather than being positioned in scoring position on the circle? Is that normal? I think the Bolts would want him on the circle looking for the draw win for a shot.

Plus in two year, Guds will be ready for back up duty. Or that kid in Minnesota.
I love having goalie depth, but you also have to think that in two years, we will (hopefully) have a huge contract on our hands and Hedman will need a new contract as well. Keeping Bish, who will warrant 6M+ and Stammer at 10.5M and whatever Hedman gets, thats a lot of big money tied up for when you need to resign Drouin/Palat/Johnson/Kucherov.

i doubt wilcox signs with tampa he might go back to college for his last year and we lose his rights.

Killorn already makes 2.55 so he may be a goner and Erne takes his place. That's why I see Filppula gone as well. Plus the cap will increase. Two years from now:
Drouin 3 Stamkos 10.5 Callahan 5.8
Palat 4.5 Johnson 5 kucherov 4
Erne 1.5 Namestnikov 2 Connolly 1.5
Paquette 1 Boyle 2 Richard .75

Hedman 7.5 Stralman 4.5
Carle 5.5 Keokkeok 1.5
Garrison 4.6 Gudas 2
Nesterov 1

Vasilevskiy 3
Gudlevskis .75
That's about $72m
