It looked slow and clunky to me. Like he had no idea what he was going to do until he was halfway there and then ran out of room to boot. I'm not trying to come down on him. I'm sure the pressure he's putting on himself is weighing on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 You guys are funny. Hall has a goal and 4 assists in 6 games and he’s garbage. Nico has three assists and he’s a “Calder candidate”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Santini leading all defensemen in ice time. He's quietly becoming quite a story back there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 RECAP WTF is going on with Brian Gibbons? Having a defenseman who can actually put up points is very refreshing. Tampa is crazy good. It's only a matter of time for Nico. Santini was very impressive tonight imo. The crowd was only a little bit more than 13,000 but it sounded incredibly loud. POSSESSION ES CF: 51 to 52 ES FF: 41 to 43 ES SF: 28 to 25 ES SCF: 26 to 26 ES HDCF: 10 to 9 All CF: 65 to 73 All FF: 51 to 60 All SF: 34 to 37 All SCF: 33 to 37 All HDCF: 14 to 9 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He misses golden opportunities almost every game. I don't personally have an issue with Hall yet, but I can see where people might get frustrated.

DJ Eco Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Can we talk about Will Butcher's defensive play on Tampa's shorthanded 2-on-1 that let us tie the game right after??????????????? WHAT?????????? This kid is the real deal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I agree with two of Mike Brown’s statements. Santini looked great, and Gibbons, talk about overperforming!

Might be the best play I’ve seen from one of our defenseman in 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it’s been 6 games. Hall’s fine. Nico is fine too, but calling a guy with zero goals and four assists in his career a “Calder candidate” or “a great setup man” is way premature.

thecoffeecake Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 When we were pursuing Butcher and eventually signed him, I said everyone was being overly excited because of missing out on Shattenkirk and Vesey (and everyone else; OT, remember when we were supppsed to be in on Panarin?). I couldn't be happier that I'm an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate the correction, doesn’t change the sentiment. And yeah, I’d like him scoring more too. But he’s kind of doing what he does. And he was on a team last year that was a total dumpster fire and he went 20G, 33A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdgeControl Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Thoroughly enjoyable win... glad stamkos decided not to shot a few times tonight.. lol, wth was he thinking... so much fun to watch a team that can skate again... take those points and move on.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devlman Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Even though Bratt isn't going to continue with his offensive onslaught, I'm thrilled with the other parts of his game. His defensive IQ is high, and he's drawing a penalty a game with his skating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks good, and he may very well be a Calder candidate. But he’s not exactly dominating just yet. A lot of it, of course, has been bad luck. He could probably have 5 goals if he had some better puck luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can figure he'll pot at least ten. 65-70 points is definitely going to get him a Vegas invite. But you're right about Butch, he absolutely wins it today. But we're not even 10% into the season, this is meaningless. Any idiot could take 4 bounces off their skate end up as assists in 6 games. But, of course, that's not the case with Nico. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
