Fair
I think this is their last chance to win a stanley cup. If they beat florida they can go all the way to the stanley cup final. They got all the pieces to be champions just need to make right moves at the deadline
Amazingly, Tampa Bay used to be older. Injuries could really hurt the team and they could drop to third place. I think that's the lowest they go.
I think they get 2nd don't think they get more than 102 points, atlantic is hella close this season
The one injurie away from a wildcard Lightning…i admit, if they are healthy they are top 3 Atlantic, but I wouldn't be surprised if they fall either. Last year of the window, good luck Bolts fan !!
5th is crazy! If his prediction comes true, I want the lottery numbers
2nd, over.
You slipped Montréal
So it's just the Canadian team left to do the season previews of, saving the highest viewership videos on this channels for last naturally.
Adam has the following spots available: 1, 3, and 6
Steve has: 2,4, and 5 left
Jesse has: 1, 4, and 5 left
Educated guess that they all have the leafs in the highest of the 3 spots available. Even if they weren't leaf fans it's the obvious choice. Adam in one of the other videos mentioned he was pretty high on Ottawa so they're probably 3rd on his list and the habs 6th. That'd mean Steve and Jesse have the habs and sens 4 and 5 on their lists.
Respectfully, Jesse: "Dearth" means absence, not abundance. The Lightning do not have a dearth of talent.
Any team with a perennial Vezina caliber goalie as well as the yearly Art Ross favorite on their squad is going to make the playoffs and contend.
They need a better backup goalie, otherwise they will run Vasilevskiy into the ground and makes him too tired in the playoffs.
who told Adam to laugh like that
As a lightning fan that Sergy trade was the worst trade we've made. A top 2 caliber d man for ok pieces
THE BEEPING. AGHHHHHH.
Where was cernack he could thump out most Florida players
So did any of the 6 Cooper assigned to injure the Panthers make the team?
So I think somehow because of when the cups happened you all are overestimating their ages maybe because the core of Tampa isnt that much older than Florida, Toronto, Colorado, or Edmonton. In some cases in that list depending on where you draw the line the Lightning are younger.
I must either be good at tuning out beeping or the comments are making too much of a fuss over it just to be annoying.
That aside, Adam's choice to place Tampa Bay in 5th in the Atlantic is definitely a hot take.
Never thought I’d say this but Steve might actually be the sanest one of all of them 😭
I got TB in 3rd.
Vasy could be injured and the D could be trash, and I think we still finish 3rd lol our offense is insane
Question for yall, Would you guys be open and talkative with your goaltenders injury given that you are playing 3 preseason games against sam bennett and the florida panthers? i wouldnt, plus lightning had the best offense in the league last year so if goal tending takes a hit, i think they can compensate.
Tampa finishing in 5th place… 🤣
Did no one see the released roster? They bolstered with younger physical guys in Finley and Douglas and we have the main lines, if they can stay healthy for playoffs and Vasy can return to form. I can see a deep run.
Couple thoughts, WHY IS STEVE THE BIGGEST TAMPA FAN RIGHT NOW?!
Vasi sitting for camp is 100% player management. It's Tampa's attempt to manage him because he wants to play all the damn time.
The argument for age is valid, but they haven't shown signs of it being a problem yet, do you really want to bet against them when they haven't showed any signs of slowing down?
Tampa's top 9 might be best in the league.
Also JJ was great for us last year besides the injury.
Adam's 5th place ranking is hilariously bad.
Adam is smoking some Willie Nelson/ Snoop Dogg 💩
