Who are they? Tampa Bay Lightning
What do they want? Cup finals against the Red Wings.
What’s their ****ing problem? Injured: Dominic Moore, Simon Gagne.
Who the **** do they think they are? (IN) Steve Yzerman (GM), Guy Boucher (coach), Teddy Purcell (@deadline), Randy Jones, Brett Clark, Pavel Kubina, Marc-Antoine Pouliot, Chris Durno, Simon Gagne, Dan Ellis, Mathieu Roy; (OUT) Brian Lawton (GM), Rick Tocchet (coach), Antero Niitymaki, Zenon Konopka, Kurtis Foster, Alex Tanguay, Andrej Meszaros, Matt Walker, Ryan Craig, Todd Fedoruk, Matt Lashoff.
What, are we supposed to be scared? First overall in the league, Steven Stamkos, Victor Hedman, Martin St. Louis, Vinny LaCavalier, Gagne…yeah — well, no, not scared — but respectful. I expect Purcell will have an extra spring in his step tonight. And I did say this team was going to be good, didn’t I?
I thought we were friends! Ex-Kings: Purcell, Jones; Ex-Lightning: none.
Yeah, well, wait till they get a load of: Scott Parse? I don’t know, but he’s playing his first game of the year. And Drew Doughty is back.
