Dimitri FilipovicHOST
And even their bottom six in-depth players all have a ton of, like, speed or functionality in their role.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
It's a shame that Yanni Gourde's gonna be out to start the year after his off-season surgery, that Dominic James got hurt again and, uh, broke his hand, I believe, and he's gonna miss some time.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
But there's such an embarrassment of riches in terms of weapons for them here.
Dimitri FilipovicHOST
And I have confidence in Jon Cooper and, and this staff that, like we saw last year, regardless of who's available, who's playing on any given night, they kinda keep playing their game 'cause they're so well prepared and so connected and cohesive that you don't really have a lot of fall off from what their system's trying to get out of those guys.
Craig ButtonGUEST
What'd they go and do? "Oh, we need more Blake Coleman.
Craig ButtonGUEST
We need more Barclay Goodrow to play with Yanni Gourde." Li- listen, that's where I'm looking at it for the Montreal Canadiens.
Craig ButtonGUEST
Deeper in their lineup, a little bit more edge.
Craig ButtonGUEST
We talked about Foreign and Xhekaj.
TommyHOST
Number one is I look for the Anthony Cirellis of the preseason.
TommyHOST
And what I mean by that is Anthony Cirelli and really Yanni Gourde too, the Yanni Gourdes.
TommyHOST
These are guys who play every single game like it's their last game, and they even talk like that, right?
BoomerHOST
Right.
TommyHOST
During the regular season, during the playoffs, whatever, you talk to a guy like Yanni Gourde and talk to a guy like Jon Cooper about Yanni Gourde or somebody like that, and he's just playing his butt off every single night.
TommyHOST
And so I think that's the number th- one thing I look for is which players are Yanni Gourding it out there, right? Are going 110% and are actually putting their best foot forward.
TommyHOST
And so most likely it's not gonna be the, the core guys, but which of the guys who are kind of on the fringes are putting their best foot forward.

BoomerHOST
Like, I've told you this before, but when I'm watching the Lightning, if we're playing good, like we're on the forecheck.
KevinHOST
We've got a massive Florida rivalry game on tap tonight, and the stakes couldn't be higher for the Lightning's early season momentum.
NicoleHOST
Tonight, we break down the matchup against the Florida Panthers, look at how injuries to Yanni Gourde and Dominic James reshape the lineup, and give you our keys to victory.
NicoleHOST
Let's get into it.
NicoleHOST
Kevin, let's start with the big picture.
KevinHOST
It absolutely carries over if they don't make adjustments.
KevinHOST
Florida is gonna try to exploit that same hesitation.
KevinHOST
When you lose players like Yanni Gourde and Dominic James, both listed as out, you lose a lot of defensive structure.
KevinHOST
Florida knows how to kill penalties and transition quickly.
NicoleHOST
He was lighting it up, but now we have to talk about the absences.
NicoleHOST
Yanni Gourde and Dominic James are both listed as out for tonight.
NicoleHOST
[horn honking]
KevinHOST
This is a huge blow.
NicoleHOST
Agreed.
NicoleHOST
And what about the bottom six? Players like Yanni Gourde and Pontus Holmberg bring energy.
NicoleHOST
How do they impact the game against Nashville's forecheck?
KevinHOST
They're essential.
KevinHOST
If the top lines get trapped, Gourde and Holmberg can break the press with their experience and hockey IQ.
KevinHOST
They provide stability when things get chaotic.
KevinHOST
That's why Yzerman values them so much.
NicoleHOST
[bell dings] Mikheyev is an interesting choice.
NicoleHOST
He's got that offensive flair, but defensively, does he fit with someone like Yanni Gourde? Gourde is the ultimate grinder.
KevinHOST
[crowd cheering] That's the risk.
KevinHOST
If you pair Mikheyev with Gourde, you might lose some speed.
John BarrHOST
I mean, I think it's a little ridiculous that there isn't, um, any cap ramifications of that.
John BarrHOST
Because we've talked about some of the veterans who've s- like Marchand and Yanni Gourde, who've signed, like, these very lengthy contracts.
John BarrHOST
What's preventing them from going in year four going like, "Ah, can you just wave me?"
Curtis IsackeHOST
Yeah.
Tony MarinaroHOST
J'espère.
Alexis Lavoie-MartelHOST
Surtout en plus avec les blessures à Dominic James et Yanni Gourde.
Alexis Lavoie-MartelHOST
Il y a des portes qui s'ouvrent en attaque.
Alexis Lavoie-MartelHOST
Mais tu l'as ouvert la porte de Kucherov.
KevinHOST
If Point is on the top line, Cirelli anchors the second unit.
KevinHOST
And then you have Yanni Gourde adding that energy.
KevinHOST
It's a deep center group.
NicoleHOST
Here's a tough one from David in Orlando, "Who makes the final roster out of the younger centers? Nick Abruzzese, Ethan Zada, Connor Geekie? There's a lot of talent."
