Man, Tampa's got a pretty g-d good lineup these days.

Not quite Nashville or St. Louis good, but once Carle returns I'd put it above the Rangers as best in the East I think. I'm a big Stralman-Hedman fan though.

Honestly, I'd put it above Nashville. Nashville's defense is better, sure, but down the middle Stamkos-Johnson-Filppula vs. Ribeiro-Fisher-Jarnkrok?

Oops, my bad. I read your post as "good d line-up" as if you were just talking about their defence. In that case I definitely agree, Tampa's loaded all around. The fact that Stamkos' line might not even be the most dangerous trio on their team is insane.

 

[Stickytape]

The tank feels pretty safe today. I can count on you, right, Tampa?

They better LOSE but play like they actually care but not too much so that they win but enough that it's entertaining.

I don't know, man. You can't spell slaughter without laughter. So, a really one-sided game can be a lot of fun . . .

Where did the good ol days of the trade deadline go?  Bolts strike down the Loafs

 

[Peter D.]

Stamkos will get at least 2 this game.

I want them to keep losing games while finding room for some personal achievements (either as hope for the future, or help with trading them).

For me, the 0 points is the only thing that matters.

You guys are technically RT'ing.

...as well as Favouriting. I put a little star there too, just for effect. 

This ensures I come off as cool and current.

I'm hoping for a 11-9 Tampa win, with hat tricks for Kessel, Bozak and Lupul driving up their value.
