Kucherov playing the role of sore loser dirtball in this one.

 

[=Smackdown=]

Kucherov will pay for that next game.

LET’S GO ISLANDERS !!!!

@Bill Brasky any reaction to Wild picking up Nick Bjugstad for conditional 2021 7th with PIT retaining half salary 

 

[JaxBill]

a ton of action last few minutes. Isles open scoring then 2 Lightning goals B2B.

Now Isles PP is threatening again.

@faiello_mari: #TBLightning's Palat makes it a 2-1 lead for #GoBolts against #Isles. #TBLvsNYI https://twitter.com/faiello_mari/status/1305242648329039872/video/1

Have the Lightning and Stars ever faced each other? I don’t mean just in the playoffs ... I mean ever. That’s just one of those random East-West matchups that I can’t wrap my head around, no matter how hard I try.

 

[Osaurus]

Lightning with 1 more game to win in this series.

@Bill Brasky any reaction to Wild picking up Nick Bjugstad for conditional 2021 7th with PIT retaining half salary 

no risk move.  they need center depth.  if he is past the back issues it is a nice, cheap move.  but who knows if he will be able to stay healthy.

I had to look it up, but don’t know how many times they’ve played each other. Their last meeting was January 27th and the Stars won in OT 3-2. Stamkos scored both Lightning goals.

I remember the lightning doing a really nice Ben Bishop montage when he returned to Tampa

Can't win with Lehner

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Can't win with Lehner

Crazy stat I saw earlier (now updated) ... Vegas lost its last six games when Lehner allowed a goal.

He was 4-6 with four shutouts in his last 10 games.

 

[Bill Brasky]

let me know when the Stars look good winning a game. any game. what a bizarre run.

 

[Dickie Dunn]

They still have a minus-1 goal differential in the bubble, including the seeding games.

 

[Fat Nick]

Caps hired Laviolette as their new HC. 

 

[guru_007]

No idea why the Stars even tried to win these games in OT when the Lightning are going to sweep them for the Stanley Cup.  Stupid dweebs, so lame

 

[Boston]

Caps hired Laviolette as their new HC. 

What a career...just seems like yesterday that he was an out-of-shape defensemen with the Westfield State Owls...did have a cannon though.

 

[JaxBill]

Caps hired Laviolette as their new HC. 

@JClarkNBCS: Good to see Peter Laviolette back as head coach of the Capitals

Should be fun against the Caps

[falguy]

Gonna guess nobody on the east coast of Canada is still watching this snoozefest.

Go lightning! 

 

[JaxBill]

they're 

still

alive

 

[=Smackdown=]

6 more

 

[JaxBill]

Good Luck with that job

@jprutherford: As reported by Arizona outlets, sources say Blues assistant GM and director of amateur scouting Bill Armstrong is the leading candidate for the Coyotes GM job and has been offered the position. The deal is not done yet, but an announcement could come as soon as today. #stlblues

 

[=Smackdown=]

Isles need to keep pounding on Kucherov & Pointe.

 

[JaxBill]

Eric Staal to BUF

@DarrenDreger: Buffalo has traded Marcus Johansson to the Minnesota Wild.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Eric Staal to BUF

@DarrenDreger: Buffalo has traded Marcus Johansson to the Minnesota Wild.

wow. very interesting, but they badly needed a 2C until Cozens is hopefully ready.

edit: hope Staal doesn't pull something where he refuses to show up in Buffalo now

 

[JaxBill]

@Bill Brasky

@RussoHockey: Staal found out about the trade 10 minutes ago. Said to be stunned.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I can't believe Staal makes less than Marcus Johansson. Nice cap savings and a clear upgrade at center.

 

[JaxBill]

Chance that both get traded again at deadline?

@CF_DepthCharts: Both players are UFAs after next season. Staal makes less money, but is also 6 years older than Johansson. https://twitter.com/DaneMizutani/status/1306348746565971970

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Dimitri Filipovic @DimFilipovic

Paul Fenton had this trade saved in the drafts and Bill Guerin pressed send by accident

 

[JaxBill]

@charlieo_conn: Even setting aside the quality of the players swapped, doesn't Minnesota need more top-6 quality NHL centers, not fewer? Isn't that, like, the whole concept behind potentially trading Dumba?

 

[JaxBill]

@frank_seravalli: #Habs have signed D Joel Edmondson to a four-year deal with $3.5 million AAV.

 

[Zegras11]

Fantasy meets reality.  Like Rude trading with Brasky in our league.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Steal and Skinner back together again. 

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Blues are having a terrible offseason. Tarasenko career in doubt. Pietrangelo probably heading to free agency. Bill Armstrong gone. Oof. we did hire Jim Montgomery as an assistant today. He seems like a good coach. 

 

[Bill Brasky]

I don’t understand this trade.  must have others already teed up.

nice Brodin signing though

 

[JaxBill]

@SWhyno: Adam Pelech is not on ice for Islanders.

Lightning line rushes:
Palat-Point-Kucherov
Killorn-Cirelli-Johnson
Goodrow-Goude-Coleman
Verhaeghe-Paquette

Pat Maroon MIGHT be out. We'll have to see.

 

[JaxBill]

@SWhyno: Maroon is in, Point is in, Verhaeghe out on official roster report.

@SWhyno: #Isles going back to 12 forwards, 6 defensemen without Adam Pelech, who is out.

 

[Golf Guy 69]

I want to work for the Wild.  Obviously day drinking is huge in that office and I think I would fit right in.  

 

[JaxBill]

@TheReplayGuy: #GoBolts Anthony Cirelli hurt on this play involving #Isles Anders Lee https://twitter.com/TheReplayGuy/status/1306767525644914688/video/1

 

[JaxBill]

@john_wawrow: Varlamov has given #Isles life in holding the fort. NY is now starting to take control of third period over #Lightning.

 

[glvsav37]

the 4 mins for a minor scratch is BS. These guys would chew their own lip off for an extra 2 min of PP

 

[falguy]

Good God. That nyi pp reminded me of the habs.  Ugly!

 

[belljr]

Wow

 

[JaxBill]

Trotz next to Hedman on skates

LOL.

 

[JaxBill]

Helluva run, Isles. Feels like the Lightning somehow survived. 

 

[glvsav37]

at least John Tavares can get finally a good nights sleep in his jammies tonight. 

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Where has @Capella been?

Where has @Capella been?

Looks like a TO.

This place really sucks when guys like him get banned.   It's amazing how little you have to do to get banned these days. It's like they are slowly shutting down the site on purpose.

@Aaron Rudnicki free Capella!
