...but, but.....while all that PO hockey was going on today-stamkos was playing golf

yea, yea i know: he cant do it all-team sport yada yada but i couldnt help but point that out. everyone that hates in this thread should be forced to list their team at the bottom of their stupid ass posts. its just so painfully obvious at this point

I wasn't hating, just pointing out facts. Assists don't happen if you don't have someone who can bury the puck. As for playoffs, the Lightning (picked to finish last by all the pundits) were 1 goal short of the finals last year with a mediocre defense and a 40 year old goalie, in what was supposedly a rebuilding year. Don't worry about us, Stevie Y has them on the right track. Not hard to imagine C. Schneider in a Bolts jersey next fall.

Philly playing well right now; let's see what happens against an NHL defense, not that junior league crap Pitt threw out there.

Or make a play to set a teammate up.

After that rocket blast, i rest my case.

[ZorroToy]

giroux is true ace

[Jimmy Proffett]

Yeah that one goal settles it. Giroux > Gretzky. Should just put his jersey in every NHL arena's rafters right now

[MC PICKS]

Never said he was gretzky, but he is the best player in hockey right now.

[face]

definitley the best if you leave out goaltenders, what a beast

[Jimmy Proffett]

ugh
