Not good without Hedy, Strallsy and Kuch...

Hedman needs to sit until he's healthy. He's clearly still hurt. He's been god awful this series so far

nope, you don't get to chirp and then sit.

who gives a **** about that. The coaches job is to put the best team on the ice to win. If Hedman is playing at 50% (I'd say he's even been less than that) and you can replace him with someone that can play at fully 100%, what's the difference between a hurt Hedman and a fully healthy roster player? Hedman isn't THAT good that he's better than a full 100% roster player when he's less than 50%.. put the best roster out there. Right now that's NOT Hedman.

lets stop using injury as an excuse. If he couldn't go he wouldn't be out there.

LOL ... it's playoffs. We all know that's a lie. Players are dumb and will play unless their leg is amputated. Karlsson played on 1 ankle 2 years ago.. players will play unless they physically can't skate. Which is not the right thing to do.

please Karlsson played fine that year. Hell he was the MVP on his team.
See it's just more proof, if a player can't go they wouldn't be out there

Cally has been great everytime he's been called upon this year. Yes he's over paid. Yes he's declining. But I feel like he's exactly what the Bolts need right now. Got a feeling Heddy is sitting out for body maintenance and will play tomorrow night.

Tampa first 2 lines are terrible .. Johnson and Gourse are playoff AHL players.. better for sweep to occur and cleansing of shrimps begin and hopefully 1 of Cooper or Stamkos .. Tampa is POOR MANS version of Buffalo Bills

Excuse me if I’m wrong but didn’t Tyler Johnson lead the NHL in playoff points the year you went to the cup finals? I’d say that hardly means he a playoff AHLer. It sucks for Tampa that they got Columbus in the first round, a team they swept in the regular season and beat by a combined total for 17-3 or something like that, plus all three of those games were before the deadline. It also sucks that they’re getting Columbus who seems to be hitting their stride at the right time. I don’t think this series is over by any stretch and it could easily go to Tampa. Remember what happened to Columbus last year. Won the first 2 in Washington and lost 4 straight.

Johnson best year was rookie .. 4 years ago .. when no one knew him and triplets were 3rd liners.. he has had a steady downhill since .. both in regular season and Playoffs .. check stats.. AND points doesn't get at the defensive liability he is .. physically and short stick play
