Oxbow6 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Tampa Bay was outworked and outplayed all game - until the last minute. Exciting finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MafiaMan Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 I suppose from a butts in the seats point of view, having "local" heroes does work, but the cup would be better Whatever happened to the Tampa Bay "Malone"? Brad's cousin, if I recall. Ryan Malone? Tampa bought him out after he was arrested last spring and the NY Rangers signed him. I believe they cut him loose earlier this season.

siouxforcefans Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I thought that game was going to overtime. You and me, both. Second time IN ABOUT A WEEK I've taken my phone out to get in on the #bucciovertimechallenge, only to have the game won in the last 1.5 seconds. Love the playoffs!

Ray77 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 WOW in Tampa! I'm happy for Montreal...that couldn't have happened to a better franchise. And the best part about it was on the winning goal, PK Subban was way out of position after chasing Palat across the ice and couldn't get back to cover Johnson - game over! Question...what's most likely to happen in game 4 tonight: A) PK Subban will dive and embellish to try and draw penalties and give his team the man advantage B) PK Subban will throw multiple slew foots C) PK Subban will slash either Stamkos or Johnson baseball style early in the game to try and change the momentum of the series and then jump around on the ice when he's given a 10 and a game D) All of the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't bother to re-wind it but initial glance sure looked intentional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you are probably joking but I'm sure Toronto would want too many of their young players and not sure the Wild would even have the cap space. If Toronto would take something like Pomminville plus a prospect for Kessel I would make that move in a heartbeat however I doubt that is something that would interest them. Pomminville has been a frustrating player for me this year and especially in the playoffs missing the net and whiffing on so many chances set up by Granlund and Parise.

Ray77 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 So you saw the play I was referring to? What was your take on it? I feel asleep last night so didn't catch the end of the game (I'm getting ooollddd). This morning I watched the highlights a couple of times and thought nothing of it, until you called it out. So then I went back and took a much closer look. I do think that he intentionally kicked, however I think he was trying to kick the puck forward. I don't think there was anything malicious like he was trying to kick Bishop's arm or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding Kessel to the Wild, no matter what they'd give up for him, would be a HUGE mistake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wild had no problem giving up a draft pick for a guy who won't be around next season (Chris Stewart), why wouldn't Fletcher try to pick up a former Gopher?

That draft pick was like a 2017 2nd round pick so if Toronto was willing to take something that far into the future I'm sure he would be happy to make that move.

"That far into the future" is only two seasons away. The Wild have enough problems on their team right now starting with Vanek. Do they REALLY want to take on Phil Kessel too?
