  1. just destroyed my fantasy team. I NEED HELP, who should I pick up: Korpisalo, Merzlikins, Vejmelka, Allen or Montembeault? Wins and shutouts get you points in my league.

  2. I mean, when was the last time the Lightning played great in the first 2 months of the season to begin with? They regularly just sort of coast in 2nd gear until the all-star break anyway.

  3. Goalie market is very thin right now, pretty much all maybe back-ups and 3rd stringers. They'll probably be alright if they can play .500 hockey until Vasy returns but that's a pretty big ask depending who they sign or if they go with their back-up & 3rd stringer.

  4. Rough preseason for the Bolts. 1st Stammer calls out the GM and now Vasy is out. Likely longer than they say imo and they should ease him into the lineup. Don't make him go from 0 to 100 after returning.

  5. Nothing a little Jaroslav Halak can’t temporarily fix, make him work his potential cup as a 2nd/3rd goalie mercenary.

    He won’t be a Vasy, but he will do a lot better than what Tampa got right now, he’s also not a stranger to being #1 goaltender even if only for a time.

    If it goes well enough, maybe it will give additional time for Vasy to comeback at 100%.

  6. Condolences to family. However, the family did get years of time spent with Dude.

  7. MICROPHONE. CJ NEEDS AN ACTUAL MICROPHONE. PLEASE. GET A MICROPHONE. FOR CJ. ILL BUY IT!

  8. What’s the song got to do with the players????? It’s there to gee up the crowd lol

  9. Love the show! Chris I’ll buy you a good mic my man! Just let me know haha

  10. How do they sponsor you? I’ve read labels on shampoo bottles whilst taking a dumpling more exciting

  11. 47:51 Louis P Lamoriello, IT IS SEPTEMBER. STOP IT. Jail. Directly to jail

    I don't care that it's a rumor. The fact the rumor is so believable speaks volumes

  12. Vasilevskiy being out might mean that the Lightning miss the 2024 playoffs, but I get the feeling they will come back like a bat out of hell for the 2025 playoffs. Similar to what happened going into the 2020 playoffs, after getting embarrassed in the 2019 playoffs

  13. Vasi being out is devastating for the Bolts. He is their MVP, and impossible to replace. One target would be Vladar from Calgary, but I suspect they will immediately grab Martin Jones off waivers if they can. He comes off a good season with Seattle, and Tampa needs a solid back up goalie anyway. Maybe he can hold the fort until Vasi returns, and keep them in playoff contention.

  14. Dear god u guys gotta get rid of "you make-a my dreams come truuuue" song… you guys have lost the last two years with that song. Its giving me PTSD

  15. Not gonna lie, just a non bluetooth headset would make such a dramatic difference. Love the show, hope we can get some better equipment for Chris. Get him Julians set up cause that works well

  16. who is 1b goaltender Tampa can acquire to start for next couple months, then keep on as back up after Vasilesky returns, either sending current back up down to AHL or trade?

  17. what contract will Kane looking to sign after come back from hip surgery? could help scoring for teams like Carolina, Winnipeg, NY Islanders, Washington

  18. November may bring the annual edition of contenders and pretenders, but this year I think we need a Santa CJ Christmas special with each teams wish list

  19. I'll pass on sending a letter. Can I send CJ a new microphone? Because the audio quality is horrendous and just plain unacceptable at this point in the show's history.
