Because we had our special line Goodrow-Gourde-Coleman


I miss those guys. Not to state the obvious, but hard to replace a line like that.

Braydon Coburn officially retired today. Will always thank him for waiving his NTC to go to Ottawa last year. Very much helped out the team

I feel sorry he didn't reach 1,000 career games. I think his pursuit of that milestone was part of the reason he was ok with waiving his NTC.

Cobby is also the guy I miss on this team, not just the Gourde line. Let's be honest, Coburn was not the best defenseman on our team, but his presence and leadership was huge part of our success imo. You could not dislike this man.

A ton of fans just look at the on ice part of things and hang the guy for getting old. You just have to look at the cup hand off after the first cup win to see how big a part of the team he was.

YES-Zach Bogosian is ready to go for tonight and is back in the lineup. HUGE with Cernak out for a few games.

Seems like we get someone back just as someone else goes out.

Anyone have a dollar on Pat Maroon to open the scoring on the powerplay?

And...another garbage call on the Lightning. Hedman called for a phantom trip.

EDIT: OK, WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH THESE STUPID REFS??!! Duclair, a garbage dirty player (don't forget the outrageously cheap slash on Kucherov in Game 4 of last year) cross-checks Joseph and doesn't get called-WHY?! Morons.

Did Hornqvist just run away from Pointer?

As Phil Esposito correctly just observed (OK, screamed) "GOD, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE GUYS??!!" Hornqvist pins Point against the boards, and waits, and waits. The refs do absolutely nothing. When Hornqvist finally lets Point go, a furious Pointer drops the gloves. Now he's off the ice for 5 minutes. Why are these idiots not calling anything??!!

Well, as I typed that, Hedman scored! And Katchouk and Bogosian with the assists! 2-0!!

He wasn't before Hornqvist joined the team. It's all his fault.

Vasi saved the game multiple times. It doesn't need to be said, but he's so amazing. If not for him, Pointer probably never gets the chance for that breakaway winner. What a HUGE win. (The pad save on Bennett with under 5 minutes left in the 3rd, the glove robbery of Aaron Ekblad in OT-HOLY SMOKES)

Was multitasking a bit tonight, so wasn't looking at CF a bunch, but these 2 teams are so fun to watch play against each other. Glad we came out on top though!

We need Vasy's statue in front of the arena. Golden if possible.
