Sam Hitchcock: How the Kucherov Line Attacks Boston

I will not make predictions in this series. I think it may be too close to call.

I do give Tampa an edge on paper, but Boston has had the Lightning's number for a long time.

However, in Tampa's favor, the Red Wings, the Flyers, and Devils used to have the Lightning's number - now they do not.

Times are a changing, and if the Pens are the current dynasty on the wane, then the Lightning could be the next one rising. For that to happen, the Lightning need a championship. I would like to see a statement win in this series for the Bolts. But, I would be daft to make a prediction.

As of right now, all of the licking, slewfooting, and diving are forgiven. For the moment. Clean slate. This is the playoffs and each one is a new and singular season.

Having said that, I do not have high expectations for him. But, I will refrain from even mentioning him unless he does something dirty.

So, the bet is dependent on how typical will his behavior be in this series, because my female doging about him is directly proportional from this point forward.

But seriously, what's with the licking people? Gross.

Sweat fetish or salt deficiency? Weird. I see Jimmy boy Tanner picks the Bruins to win this series and the cup. Great to know seeing he’s been wrong on every topic all year, from the Best D in hockey in Arizona and a playoff team- wrong on both counts to firing the Caps GM and who wouldn’t make the playoffs- GM extended - Caps win. division. Just to name a few so I feel more confident the Bolts win. Outside of that it should be a great series. Your boy the Rat should play great unless he’s hit often and frustrated because that’s when he does stupid sh*t. You have to try and limit his space which he’s great at creating because that line will kill you. Off for 18 before the game. Enjoy

Here we go ladies and gents.

Let's see a good clean series - no stupid stuff and no blind officials please.

Good start, they don't look rusty at all

I swear if Marchand licks one of our players

Well their top line destroyed us. You better do a better job against them or this will be a short series. Maybe match off top lines or try the Cirellli line against them but the Johnson line got schooled. Perimeter shots won’t do the job. I didn’t check but Stralman had to be minus 4 today. Well game one to thee B’s. Regroup for Monday.

My thoughts too but maybe a couple of rookies on the line came ime into the equation. I say put Stammer line head to head, even if they offset each other I like our depth in the other three lines but whatever line they need to get some bodies in front of Rask.
