  1. DraftKings Line: Lightning -1.5 O/U 6.5 Preview: The Tampa Bay Lightning’s winning streak ended after a shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, but their point streak still continues. Tonight the Lightning will look to rebound in a game against the Buffalo Sabres. A good sign for the Bolts is that after missing two previous games, Victor Hedman might be ready to return to the lineup. Yesterday he appeared on morning practice alongside with Erik Cernak. That doesn’t, however, mean that the Lightning will be in an optimal lineup against the Sabres, as Nick Paul, who barely played in the second half of the game against the Hurricanes, left the yesterday’s practice early. In his absence, Vlad Namestnikov moved to his spot at second line and the team continued practicing with 11 forwards. If the Paul isn’t available tonight, the Lightning will likely run a 11/7 lineup. The return of Hedman should take off some workload from Mikhail Sergachev’s shoulders. During the absence of the Big Swede, Sergachev played more than 25 minutes per game, including over 29 minutes in the previous game against Carolina. The Russian defenseman, who signed a huge contract last summer, has already experienced an increased role on this team and it’s not only indicated by his higher ice time, but also by his stats. Sergachev currently has 10 points in 11 games, which is tied for the fourth most amongst all defensemen in the NHL. https://www.rawcharge.com/2022/11/5/23441773/buffalo-sabres-at-tampa-bay-lightning-preview-and-game-day-thread-odds-starting-lines-goaltenders
  2. Maybe it will depend on how well he does on our first run for the cup
  3. Touch call with all the other talent coming up. They seem to be trying to move Quinn into his PP spot now, Rosen has a similar style and then all the other forwards we have, so if he does leave there will be no shortage of players fighting for his spot.
  4. And they are young. So they will only get stronger as they grow into men.
  5. Yes! I enjoyed the Prospects tournament so much I was afraid we would have a let down watching the real team. But no worries!
  6. No. Hard not to think they will be MUCH better. Quinn, Power, Krebs and others are really not even adults yet. The best is yet to come
  7. I guess it's too early to say that VO projects to 80 goals this season, huh? Tage 70? Tuch 70?
  8. Those unis were hard to get used to at first. But by end of first I was not even noticing.
  9. I know the D was good last game, but wow does that still not inspire confidence in me to see some of those names. And this is the Pens. Hope we score a lot tonight....again
  10. We have 12 points and there are 11 other teams within one or two points of us. Are all the teams above average this year?
