I'm in no way saying we're the best or even a 10 team, but I think there's a decent argument in saying lightning might have the most well rounded top 6 in the league. Of course I'm bias.

It makes such a difference when John Carlson isn't having to play 25, 27 minutes a night every night for us. Top 4 D all within a minute TOI of each other with a top of 22:16. Obviously it's nice when they're all healthy, but we just feel so solid on the back end this year with additions of Chychrun and Roy.

Think Logan Thompson sent a message to Team Canada tonight. Kept us in the game long enough for our offense to eventually do what it does. Hope Ovechkin can fit into this PP seamlessly when he comes back, it started to click last few games before he got injured and has just stayed red hot. Honestly I like Chychrun on the point over Carlson right now with how well he moves the puck (plus one timers from either side, potentially).

Columbus just wants every defenseman possible.

When the Jets were forced to trade Trouba to NY for Pionk and a first round pick, everyone thought the Jets loss big time. But Pionk has developed into one of the highest scoring dman in the game.

Jet GM Chevy is probably the last GM any team wants to deal with. When Laine starting causing trouble we traded him for PLD. When PLD starting causing trouble we trade him for Valardi who will break 30 goals easy.

And the Jets are the #1 team in the league right now. I never thought I would ever get to say that. :/

While Kuemper has played well for the Kings, really nice to see PLD continue to play so well for us and pick up 2 assists v his old team today in our win.

Still glad he's off the team. He was flat out lazy for us, though I do think not having him play to his strengths or using him on PP1 was bad on the Kings coaching.

Kuemper never seemed to get off the ground here, and team rallied behind Lindgren end of last year. Hopefully both guys flourish in new spots.

Tampa/Florida rivalry has to be the best in the league right now. Always a fucking emotional game.

Fucking hate those guys
