Michael you mention Foote he doesn’t play much at all and neither does Schenn. Any ideas who JBB may target for playoffs?

Looks like Coop and the squad has adjusted to whatever schemes the Canes are using.

So far, it looks like Carolina and Florida are the Bolts real competition in the division this season. On paper, I'd give the edge to Florida based on goaltending - even though Bob has been terrible, he can steal games when he gets hot. If he goes on a roll, he could take the Panthers to another level.

Carolina's goaltending is a bigger question mark. Ask Leafs fans what they think of Reimer. Mzarek would be a solid backup, but I wouldn't feel great about him as a starter. The other guy with the letter-salad name is still largely unknown to me outside of that one game where he shut the Bolts out.

Completely unrelated trivia question : Guess who has the all-time record for highest playoff save percentage? (minimum 25 games played)

I bet it's not who you would think.

Everybody knows its former Lightning stalwart Mike Smith... he might not be able to play the puck to save his life but on occasion he can definitely keep them out.

Also I actually knew this as I think his is the highest of all time regardless of games played.

Give that man a cigar. Yup, Mike Smith, ex-Bolt, and ex-member of the Smellis tandem.
