Greg LinnelliHOST
Agreed.
Greg LinnelliHOST
So I'm excited to see what he's like this year because I think he shocked a lot of people maybe because where did this guy come from? And a little bit like Dominic James kind of came in and you were like, this guy can play.
Dave MishkinHOST
I never mentioned this, Greg, and Destu didn't play a lot in the series last year because he got hurt in game one and came back late in the series.
Dave MishkinHOST
And remember, James came back from injury to start the series and took a hit on his first shift and went off and went, oh my gosh, this doesn't look good.
Dave MishkinHOST
But he worked his way into the series and he finished strongly.
Dave MishkinHOST
He had a great end of the series and he scored a couple of goals in games five and seven.
Dave MishkinHOST
More than one person spoke to me in between periods or on an off day and like, This Dominic James, he's a player.
Dave MishkinHOST
People who hadn't seen him, they were in covering the series, they hadn't been following the Lightning closely.
JP AhrensHOST
I think they're spreading out the scoring a bit.
JP AhrensHOST
I mean, Yanni Gord and Dominic James, those are two guys that are hurt.
JP AhrensHOST
But like I said, Jake Council's on the second line.
JP AhrensHOST
I understand
8 MINS LATER
JP AhrensHOST
Fourth line, Goncalves, Harkins, Igiki.
JP AhrensHOST
On defense, Moser and Carlson, Hedman and Crozier, and then McDonough and Chernak.
JP AhrensHOST
And that's Vasilevsky and Hildeby with Scott Sabrin, Lilleberg, and then on injured reserve currently, Yanni Gard and Dominic James.
JP AhrensHOST
So I guess we're comparing opening night lineups here.
Nick MorganHOST
So the, the opportunities for all these guys are going to be there.
Nick MorganHOST
And honestly, Greg, right now with two key forwards out of the lineup on the injured reserve to start the season and Dominic James and Yanni Gord.
Nick MorganHOST
There is an opportunity for, I think the bolts to go 11, seven for a little bit right away and maybe rotate some of these guys in and out, especially somebody like Destu.
Nick MorganHOST
You just kind of hate to see him on the bench for how well he played, especially as the year went on last year was a big part of the team wound up being able to handle a lot of minutes.
10 MINS LATER
Greg StephenHOST
And I do expect them to keep a top five PK in this in the league this season.
Greg StephenHOST
I do.
Nick MorganHOST
Yeah, and obviously no Dominic James to start, no Yanni Gore to start.
Nick MorganHOST
That's going to be a little bit tough, but you have a lot of guys that you can conceivably start on that penalty kill unit and be happy with.
NicoleHOST
First, we break down the biggest storylines heading into this Eastern Conference clash.
NicoleHOST
Second, we look at the key line combinations and how injuries to Yanni Gord and Dominic James change the dynamic.
NicoleHOST
And third, we give you our keys to victory and a bold prediction for who walks out of MSG with the win.
KevinHOST
We also have some fresh data on the roster battles.
Greg StephenHOST
I think they have what they need here.
Greg StephenHOST
And like barring some crazy dip in production from like gauge or Dominic James can't bounce back from his, his broken wrist or hand, or I forget what it is already, but one of those things.
Greg StephenHOST
Yeah.
Greg StephenHOST
I just don't think so.
Nick MorganHOST
I think if they can hit on those guys coming back into form, they have a good chance.
Nick MorganHOST
I think if they can bet on Nikita Kucherov having a big year again, not necessarily being distracted by some of this off ice stuff in terms of his contract, um, And if they can get some of the younger guys to step up and take on bigger roles, like Connor Geeky earning a spot in the lineup, like Gage Gonzalez continuing to get better.
Nick MorganHOST
And then also somebody like Dominic James, when he gets back from injury, being able to kind of take that next step.
Nick MorganHOST
I'm with you what you said this last segment, Greg.
Steve VersnickHOST
The goalies are Dennis Hildeby and Andre Vasilevsky.
Steve VersnickHOST
Yanni Gord and Dominic James are on injured reserve.
Steve VersnickHOST
Benjamin Rautiainen has been loaned to Tapara of the Finnish Liga, where he won the MVP last season.
Steve VersnickHOST
With the NHL adding two regular season games to the schedule, training camp has been limited to only 13 days.
Paul BrunoHOST
And then beyond that, Gage Gonsalves is the only other guy who topped double digits in goal scoring with 11 and 22.
Paul BrunoHOST
And then after that, it's a bunch of pluggers, Jansen Hargens from Over from Anaheim, Dominic James out with a hand injury.
Paul BrunoHOST
Yanni Gourd dealing with a hip injury out till mid-December.
Paul BrunoHOST
They really would like to get him back in the fold.
PanosGUEST
I'm not really seeing an inspiring team outside of the top six forwards.
PanosGUEST
Like, you've got Gergensen, Holmberg, Veal, Dominic James.
PanosGUEST
Like, they're solid.
PanosGUEST
Mikheyev, like, in the bottom six, they're good, solid guys.
Gabby ShirleyHOST
That sounds crazy.
Gabby ShirleyHOST
But, of course, Yanni Gord, Dominic James, they are not going to be playing on opening night because of injuries.
Gabby ShirleyHOST
Yanni Gord, he's not expected to be back until December after having offseason hip surgery.
Gabby ShirleyHOST
And Dominic James, he was injured training before training camp even.
Gabby ShirleyHOST
And they said he'll be out for about two weeks.
Gabby ShirleyHOST
I'm thinking that's two weeks from the start of the season, which is Thursday.
Ben PierceHOST
So Jansen Harkins is among the guys that are going to be on the roster here.
Ben PierceHOST
He was flying during the preseason.
KevinHOST
It's about structure.
KevinHOST
It's about who steps up when Yanni Gourd and Dominic James aren't there, and whether Jake Gensel can finally unlock that power play we talked about yesterday.
KevinHOST
Let's get to work.
NicoleHOST
Welcome to the Beatline Podcast Network, home of daily hockey coverage that doesn't sleep, so you don't have to.
NicoleHOST
Let's move to segment two, where we talk personnel.
NicoleHOST
Alright, let's talk bodies.
NicoleHOST
We know Yanni Gourd and Dominic James are dealing with injuries.
NicoleHOST
That changes the entire dynamic of the bottom six.
