Great job by the wings tonight. I was concerned in the third period when Tampa had them hemmed in. I figured a penalty wasn't far off and then a goal. Best defence is a strong offence. When the wings scored the third goal, it was a sigh of relief. I'm hoping that this is the start of a hot streak. Then the wings could do like the Kings.

The people who want Howard gone because Mrazek is developing well are shortsighted. Why wouldn't you keep two quality goalies when you can afford them? Especially since goalies are inconsistent. It's not like we are in a cap crunch and I'd rather not lean on one rookie goaltender with no depth after him for a full season.

1. Stamkos doesn't suck. He's not having a good series. It happens to most every player.

2. I don't have any problem with Garrison. I'd take him in a second, along with Stamkos.

3. Johnson is a good player who had an incredible game to lead his team to a win. How is that "sucking up"?

Did you really just try to start an argument and take those three sentences in a literal sense? Lol. Cmon man you're reading too much into fun and games.

1. Duh. Did you ACTUALLY think that comment was literal. I mean, does everyone at the Joe who chants "F**** you Tampa" want the city of Tampa Bay to "F**** off?". That doesn't even make physical sense.

2. Just because a player might be objectively useful doesn't mean you can't dislike them for the sake of the series when cheering on for your team. Ex: Datsyuk and Malkin might be friends off ice but on-ice they will tell each other to screw off to piss each other off. This is Hockey. Trash talking is very much allowed. Even for fans.

3. It's sucking up if you're jumping the gun and pretending like the player is some glorified hockey champ. It's 2 games he did well in. The series isn't over yet. It's one thing to commend a player but an entirely different one to say "Johnson knows how to win". A poor choice of words from the journalist. Imagine if Tampa loses the series. Doesn't that make Johnson a loser? The article itself like many others in general (including ones that have been written prematurely about our own players) is nothing short of ridiculousness.

The people who want Howard gone because Mrazek is developing well are shortsighted. Why wouldn't you keep two quality goalies when you can afford them? Especially since goalies are inconsistent. It's not like we are in a cap crunch and I'd rather not lean on one rookie goaltender with no depth after him for a full season.

Exactly. Plus Mrazek will be cheap for a good while. An it's completely smart to keep a little competition between two great goalies.

I don't mind having them both but I have a feeling Howard won't be too thrilled this off season. I wouldn't be surprised if he asked to be traded. I could be totally wrong but the way he was talking before the playoffs with the "I expect he'll be starting me" leading to mrazek getting the nod has me thinking he won't be too happy come the offseason.

I missed the entire thing since I had to work from 8PM to 3AM (Being a DJ has its downsides), but watching the score on a friend's phone made my long night a bit easier to handle. Can I get a belated first ever LGW Butt Pat?

aren't those banners "communist/puppies/america" a bit offensive? It is also kind of strange that those target only foreign players.

to be fair most of our players are foreign. But yes the America/communist ones were extremely disrespectful but the puppy one was funny

I have a strange feeling I'll be watching Star Wars today
