oh, and Derren Dreger tweets:

"3 summers ago Stamkos was squatting 185lbs in reps. This summer Gary Roberts had him working cycles using 400 and 450 lbs. Strength + speed."

jesus dude.

'Kin typical. Panthers finally get some genuine offensive depth the season they lose Vokoun. Still, Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuby. On the back of his preseason, it'd be criminal not to give him at least the first nine games of the season.

but 185 is weak sauce, surprised he was squatting so little. I can squat a mark henry.

well, the kid came into the NHL weighing 175 pounds. respectable weight for that. now he's about 195 and is in beast mode

oh yeah, this Connolly kid is starting the season in the big leagues.

I had to focus, jesus leave me alone.

We now have more losses than most teams have games played

This is going to be a long season.

By the way, this should have been 6-0 Lightning, as 2 goals didn't count.

- The whistle one
- With 1 minute left or so, Pyatt's shot clearly was in the net before falling down on Budaj.
