A not so sweet game from Alex Tuch thus far. Needs a big 3rd

Absolutely.

He's trying to be pretty instead of a brute power forward. Channel your inner Maroon, Tuch. Go to the net and get rewarded. Maybe break Elliott in half, too.

It looked like they could have called one of the TB players for holding in the Sabres end too as he went for the puck

The points are there regardless (I blame TT) but ya his game seems to teeter-totter a lot to my eye

Our 4th line or whatever you might want to call it could be a first line if they could finish. #28 has looked good like he usually does but I think if he had 20 breakaways he might score once. Love that line's tenacity though.

I take it this your first year watching Girgensons.

Well...  this is the book on Tuch. Back with Vegas he was also hot and cold in stretches. They loved him, and were also left wanting more. He's a bigger, faster, Stafford. And that's not a bad thing! But he's got to vary his attack. A nice pass is good on occasion, but he's also on the top line to drive the net and open space and work the boards.

[Huckleberry]

Find it hard to blame UPL for any of the goals though.

Thanks for covering my back!  😄

Skate fast, stay out of the box, and send Tampa to Boston with a loss.

I missed most of the second; tried to walk the dogs during the period break but they wanted a long one.  Anyway, I guess Jost earned this:

Although with the events of the last coupla days maybe that should be Sheahan.

Tage Thompson is everything we wanted Eichel to be

He'll have two assists on the third to help Tage get his hat trick.

An assist to Tage, then the 2nd ENG after VO collects the first one. 6-3.

Jost is a revelation.  He's the perfect center or that line.

No, I've always appreciated his efforts. After all, there was one year in which he was our only All-Star.

You mean, “is”, right? The guy in all the   top 10, quarter-season mvp AND selke lists right now?

But wait @Doohickie, Sheahan wanted out of the "relationship", no?

[Doohicksie]

That was a major league hook on Dahlin as he crossed into the Bolts zone and... no call on Hedman

Only after Jost showed up.

[HOUSE]

Just don't let Stampkos score

I hate that guy

The refs don't want to decide this one.

I didn't know much about Jost before we picked him up but he looks like a great 4th liner. He must have some offensive skills too since he as a forward was a #8 overall pick.

Jost was an 8? 

No wonder we added him haha

[DarthEbriate]

Can you imagine when Power puts some adult muscle and can just throw guys into the boards and off the puck?
