You've gotta include Salo in that statement.

My reverse jinx did the trick, indeed.

CC321 · 01-25-2013, 09:37 PM

Some of the rust is falling off, I saw some glimpses of the bright shiny metal machine.

Lee had a decent 3rd period...a couple of blocked passes and a nice poke check. Not to say his first two periods were anything but bad, but there was improvement, and I'll give him credit...baby steps.

Salo looked strong again, and along with him, Aulie, and Conacher, there are some seriously pleasant surprises 4 games into this season!

Not the most beautiful win for the Lightning, but it was a full three period effort. 2nd period could have ended with a much bigger deficit and got away from us, but we kept it close for Bugsy (and Pyatt on the EN) to finish.

Takeaways from the game:

Stammer picked it up about midway through the second, when him and Marty stopped trying to be so damn fancy. Looked good out there after that.

Conacher: Wow

Hedmonster: Unleashed

Muhammad Aulie: Good defense, got some good shots through, and DO NOT **** WITH HIM!

Lee/Bergeron Pairing: I couldn't watch the TV

Fourth Line: Buzzing

Ottawa: Destroyed

Luuuongo · 01-25-2013, 10:07 PM

Man I'm so happy for Salo, but at the same time so sad he's not a Canuck anymore.

Speaking of Salo, how has he been for you guys?

Giroux tha Damaja · 01-25-2013, 10:12 PM

Hey guys, I can't find the info on google, so maybe you can help me out. Who is Hedman being paired with this season?

Naw, he was exactly what we were expecting. #1 Dman with a booming righty shot

Fantastic, in my opinion. Great defensive plays, was +5 tonight, if plus/minus can be any indication of individual performance. He is a smart player.

Salo for the most part.

Thanks! Who has Carle been playing with? The two of them together I think could be a pretty effective duo. Carle is most effective with a partner like Hedman. Salo can get dinged up a lot so maybe we'll get a chance to see it at some point.

Carle is with Brewer... very solid second pairing.

Brewer is a really solid physical vet too now that you mention it . . . that is pretty solid. Nice win tonight, and thanks for the info.

Sami Salo finished tonight as a plus-5, which ties a franchise record for highest plus/minus in a single game; done a handful of other times

Salo is 1st in the league with +8 and Hedman is tied for 2nd with +6. They make a great pair.

Pronounced Anders · 01-25-2013, 11:47 PM

They really do. Hedman is looking much more confident in getting involved on the offensive side of the game, too.

hfgreg · 01-26-2013, 01:02 AM

I really hope Salo can stay healthy. He really is a stud back there. So impressed with the guy.

On a side note. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have Bergeron and Lee serving popcorn on Sunday.. Tyrell and Mikkelson need to make their return.

Scottrockztheworld* · 01-26-2013, 02:16 AM

Glad Salo is playing well for you guys, hoping he can keep it up (which is hard for a man his age

) & stay injury free. Miss seeing that guy's slap shot on Van's PP already.

Whats with you guys taking Van dmen anyway? Salo, Ohlund... OBERG!

All the best for the rest of the way

Dave C · 01-26-2013, 03:52 AM

Just finished watching.

Great first period, we came out with a bang. Sloppy second. Lee again with a needless penalty resulting in a Sens 3rd goal. He improved in the 3rd though. Too many sloppy turnovers and breakaways again leaving Lindback vulnerable. Much tighter 3rd by all. I love Aulie and his no nonsense attitude. Conacher was quiet by his first 3 games standards. Incredible work for our 2nd (I think) goal. Salo was impressive again. Really intelligent player.
