Lightning vs Penguins Oct 23 Wed **8PM**
 

Go Bolts!

Line combinations today

Johnson-Stamkos-Joseph
Palat-Point-Gourde
Killorn-Cirelli-Kucherov
Maroon-Paquette-Witkowski

PP1: Hedman, Stamkos, Kucherov, Johnson and Palat
PP2: Shattenkirk, Sergachev, Point, Killorn and Maroon

I like the Kuch move. Hard to play fancy dan with Cerelli and 17. Should be interesting. 91 back to center..hmmmm. Finally, that 4th line will hopefully throw their weight around. Good to see the dumpster return.

Don't get too excited. Cooper does this all the time in practice and then goes back to the other lines for games (so, the lines they didn't actually practice with).

Yeah, it's almost like, "Keep playing like this and these COULD be your lines..."

Given that there were player interviews with Tyler Johnson where he said that he was playing tomorrow with Stammer and Joseph and Cooper said that he was trying to get Joseph more minutes, it sounds like they are the actual lines.

Every player has to earn their ice time. Stamkos-Point-Kucherov needed to be broken up. Can’t see Point on PP2 unless both units get equal time. Vasilevskiy has to be better as well.

This one's on NBCSN

vs Pitts

how painful is this going to be?

If it’s their 1st crew, they won’t have Pierre. That would reduce the pain somewhat.

Bad luck
 

We just seem to have no luck. Jarry is just playing out his posterior, bloody unbelievable. We still have no gotten a good screen in front of their goalie...go to the net and get a greasy goal. Not sure what is going on with this team.
