And somehow we had what was it 9 straight penalty kills + the 4v4’s against FL the last time? 

9+ yep, "physical" play is both of their trademark rather than technically sound defense.... the We can play physical and win, and if we turn the game into a track meet you get blown out. I don't fear the Lightning because I believe our PK is up to shutting them down and Kucherov certainly doesn't have his skating ability back....

I don’t fear them either. I do fear the NHL HQ though. Hopefully they realize if they are trying to fix poo Hurricanes Vs. Avs is going to be their best Stanley cup. If there was two opponents that have not faced each other that would be fun to watch this season it’d be that.

FL just dropped the second homegame, I think it will be Car/TB round two.

      I would be quite surprised if he got more than a fine. Flopping has long been out of hand in the NBA. There were definitely some Heat players doing extra selling fouls. LaMelo seems to be getting quite a bit of hate on social media for the Bam injury though. And it is fair to wonder how the next opponent might defend him going forward knowing what happened. I don't think we can just be homers and dismiss it entirely especially after all the complaints we've made about the Pistons in particular. I think this group better be prepared for a very physical game on Friday.

      When you look closely at the play it was careless from Melo but bang bang full speed I don’t think it was intentional or dirty or deserving of a foul. Bam’s off balance momentum was already carrying him towards a fall and even if Melo didn’t touch him it may have had the exact same outcome. And honestly I think he did try to sell it more when he felt LaMelo’s hand. Dudes arms flopped back instead of bracing for the fall. Sucks he got hurt but a suspension would be ridiculous and an awful look for the league. Fine and move on

      Sure but it literally would be benching him lol, and it would kill his confidence. He’ll get back in a rhythm, kid just had an all time great rookie season and led the league in 3s, you gotta stick with him as starter. But yeah I’m all for getting some more lineups throughout the game with Coby and Melo   and yeah Miles’ block and Coby and others jumping him in celebration was fuging epic
