Is Florida missing anyone? :-)


Owen Tippett, Joe Thornton, and Frank Vatrano. That's it. frown (Although they'll be without Bobrovsky for this one since they played the Rangers last night, Jonas Johansson will be in net)

Vatrano seems to have a career game every time we play them, so that's a big loss I guess

Darren Raddysh (who I discovered today is Taylor's OLDER-not younger-brother) officially making his debut tonight. Says he's the only member of his family without COVID right now, he'll be the only Raddysh at the game.

(P.S. Spencer Knight, not Jonas Johansson, is starting for Florida. Thanks for nothing, Yahoo fantasy)

Looks like I was right in my ACGM earlier today about benching Fortier. Don't tell Boltsbeathabs 😂

Really excited to see what Elie can do. He's a pest and a hardworking forward. I liked him in his one preseason game and he's a valuable vet for Syracuse.

Woah. Interesting, guessing we'll see him on the 3rd line with Colton and Nash

I hope Fortier plays the next game and goes off for a goal and an assist tears of joy

hardworking pests are coops favourites. No surprises there.

This team looks disinterested, it's not all Lagace's fault.

Give us Hugo!

It's just one of those nights. Lagace is getting no help whatsoever, and the offense looks out of sync. And of course it's Vatrano who scores the 3rd goal...

That's all I can watch.
I hope to be exposed for not keeping the faith when we win 7-6 though.

You too, eh? I gave up when it was 5-2, checked the final score just now...unfortunately. It was just one of those nights, half the D was missing and it showed, Lagace wasn't good at all but it's not all on him, Panthers had an abundance of spectacular chances, and made the Lightning pay. Just forget about this one, get Vasi back in net and move on.
(If Vasi is indeed asymptomatic, he-along with Sergachev-will be eligible to come back tomorrow against the Rangers)

Sergachev ready to play tonight, as is Sustr. Also, Kucherov and Cernak participated in the morning skate, both wearing regular jerseys. However, Alnefelt was the only goalie on the ice.

Elliott is practicing separate from the team with Lalonde. Not sure what's going on.

Could be he hasn't officially exited protocol yet and is waiting for results, so they want to warm him up just in case

It's good to hear another Stamkos one-timer called by Peckham. Iconic.

Katchouk's ego must be through the roof. He has already dropped Chara this season, and was probably about to drop gloves with Reaves if Maroon didn't step in.

Brian Elliott needs to sit down and watch any edition of Dangle's Dang-Its (specifically this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HJ_N5q6Zk8). That was pathetic-he did it not once, but TWICE IN THE SAME GAME-the first one was literally such a perfect pass to Lafreniere that he ONE-TIMED IT into the net, the second one-what the flip?! What are you thinking, a cross ice-pass is ALWAYS a bad idea, but when you have a teammate RIGHT IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE IN FRONT OF YOU-what the heck? The irony was that aside from those errors, Elliott was actually not bad in net-the one clean goal he gave up was a beautiful deflection by Goodrow, nothing he could do about it.
I cannot BELIEVE the Lightning scored with the net empty AGAIN-that's their sixth 6th attacker goal to tie the game in the final minutes this year, and Perry has 3 OF THEM. Insanity. Overall, the offense was decent, perfect bullets of one timers from Stammer and then Colton, plus the Perry goal, and they rang iron twice (AGAIN).
Overall, pretty decent game, especially considering that Vasi, Kuch, Cirelli, Cernak, (not to mention both Bogosian and Foote) were out, if Elliott doesn't make those mistakes they probably get two points out of it. Hopefully Vasi starts tomorrow.
