Lightning @ Leafs - Feb. 29th, 7:30pm - TSN4, Fan 590

[McGarnagle]

Holland really needs a skilled linemate. He works well with Kadri.

I was thinking earlier that Holland has really squandered an opportunity this year. He has all the tools, but just isn't able to put any consistency into his game.

 

[ZBBM]

I can already tell the next few games are going to be roughly a million times more fun to watch than they were over the last few weeks.

That is a serious underestimate.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I just really can't believe how confident they're all playing. Nylander, sure, but I expected a slightly more timid game from Kapanen/Hyman/Soshnikov but they're all playing like this is just another game.

 

[ZBBM]

Kapanen-Nylander-Marner is going to be an insane line next season.

If Kapanen is as skilled as he looks tonight, they might want to keep the Marlies line intact and go with Hyman instead to balance it out.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Soshnikov jousting with one of the best goal scorers in the game like it's nothing.

 

[Deebo]

I hope the Leafs score 1 goal.

 

[herman]

Soshnikov jousting with one of the best goal scorers in the game like it's nothing.

I do believe he is whispering Lou's offer to him for his next contract.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I hope the Leafs score 1 goal.

It'll just be a shame really if Nylander or Kapanen don't get one.

 

[McGarnagle]

I can't come up with a pun to do it justice, but I really like this hyman kid.

 

[herman]

KID LINE!

Edit: Looks like Babcock is rolling with it. Grabner on Holland's wing. Kapanen over to Nylander's.

Can someone expand on Hyman?  No idea who he is or background.

Traded Greg McKegg to get him from Florida who drafted him in the 5th round in 2011.

IIRC, he wasn't going to sign with Florida.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Call the instigator.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That was basically the definition of an instigator penalty, no way the refs call it though.

Clean hit too that started it.

 

[L K]

Brown chases Carrick around the ice and that isn't an instigator...

Hyman's looked very good this period.

 

[herman]

I've been wanting to say this all day, but having not seen him play, I wasn't sure at first; is anyone else getting a blueline Leipsic vibe from Carrick?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

KADRI

 

[BrownRolo]

I thought when Carrick went down he messed his shoulder up. So dumb...just get rid of fighting. The sport is exciting we don't need it.

Should have been an unsportsmanlike even before the gloves were dropped.
