With skates he's 6'3"...

I like how he instinctively jumps up on the rush...he doesn't need the puck on his stick to know when he should be supporting the O...he reads it well...and he also notices when it's not there and bails out...

I don't think Bishop will be or would be the difference maker in that series anyway.

What do you think will be the deciding factor?

Never heard of him... Did he play in the Olympics?


He'll of course be a factor...but I think his 1, 2 or 3 goals per game will be easier to offset if they have a crappy goalie...hence why Bishop becomes a factor...

I went in the basement to work out and turned on the game...there was 19 minutes left in the 1st. I told myself "next whistle I'll start my workout"...that whistle came with 11 minutes left in the period...that's a solid 8 minutes of up&down skating with good chances on both sides...

I'm sure both coaches hated it. LOL.

Great pace between those two teams, I always buy tickets against the Hawks and the Wings and I never got disappointed so far.

Y'er 6'1. Peu importe anyway. Il a tout un coup de patin comme tu l'as dit. J'peux pas croire que Therrien va mettre Murray avant lui contre une équipe rapide comme Tampa.

I don't think he'll score 3 goals in the series.

Similar to Tampa play, no?

Minus that crazy bugger Malone.

- pete26


Tampa plays a closed style of game...last game they faced each other, I don't think the Habs had one shot from the slot, and the only guy who went in front of the net was Gallagher. All peripheral shots.

Hopefully it will be different in the playoffs, but I'm a bit worried about what I saw.

Hopefully Therrien game plans accordingly and you are right... But Therrien isn't renowned as a game planner...he has a system and thinks he can win with it regardless of the opponent as long as it is respected...

He's no Belichek, he's more of a Schottenheimer (or any other coach who doesn't adapt to the situation)...

Especially if Bishop is back...you got to get that guy moving from side to side, and if the habs are staying on the outside and not crashing that net, no way passes will connect on the other side...

Someone needs to take bet with you on that one. Easy money

So if Galchenyuk is gone for a while, should they call up Andrighetto?

Referring to the physical side of things.

Yes I agree, the habs will need more traffic than last game vrs Tampa.

Also, I have this red thingy with a white x inside it on the bottom of the screen on my computer, when I put the arrow on it, it says 'PC status:at risk".

You know anything about that?

Yes.

And?

Craig Anderson had a sv% around .955 against the Habs in the playoffs last season.

You saying Lindback can pull of the same thing?

If Bishop can't go, the lightning would be better off taking anyone who's available NOT NAMED Lindback...
