Well two disappointing outings for my Lightning. 1st a 2-1 shootout loss to Toronto which we did get awarded 1 point. The 2nd a complete meltdown loss to Ottawa 6-3. My Bolts had never had the lead in the match and the closest they came to making it interesting was tieing it up in the 2nd period 3-3. The losses are a sting but not detrimental. Tampa still owns the east and has an okay cushion but we need to make sure not to take too many more losses. The closest record in the west by the Vegas Golden Girls still leaves Tampa as league leaders but these to losses eroded the "commanding" 1st place status but we're still #1 :yay:. It is still a long season and my main concern is the health of our quality backup goalie Peter Budaj. Vasilevskiy is awesome but only Superman could be expected to play every game without getting fatigued in some way or worse yet injured. Vasilevskiy is only 24 and has been groomed for net minding under pressure his whole life and probably has the stamina to go the foreseeable stretch. However he will need a rest especially when it gets close to the post season.

 

Tampa 29-9-3 61pts

Next up the last of 5 road games we travel to Detroit to take on the (earn your) Redwings.

Lets GO Lightning!!

So far so good after 2 in the motor city. Tampa up 3-1 while being out shot 26 to 13 and tons & tons of extra curricular activities as these two team have a genuine dislike of each other. It seems Jon Cooper found some relief for Vasilevskiy with a new net minder Louis Domingue. He seems to be doing OK but I do notice a lot more protection of the goal by other team mates.

Let's GO Lightning!!!

Well my Bolts Prevail 5-2 over the (earn your) Redwings. The initial scrappiness of the game subsided a bit as I guess Detroit realized the only benefit to starting fights was energizing the crowd as opposed to making pucks hit the back of the net. On a concerning note our defenseman Dan Girardi to a nasty puck to the head while trying to block a shot by Redwing right wing MartinFrk. OUCH!! was my 1st thought as well as everyone else who was watching. I am pretty sure if Vaslievskiy was in it would've never happened. As I had mentioned earlier it seemed there were an extra amount of Lightning body's placing themselves's in front of the net to aid our new net minder Louis Domingue, who earned his 1st win as an NHL goalie :clap:

Tampa 30-9-3 63pts.

Up next we host the Carolina Hurricanes and I will be there :yay:

Lets GO lightning!!!

NICE, nice 5-4 win over the Carolina Hurricanes tonight! It really should've been 7-4 but we were completely cheated out of one goal which for some reason Zebra's never "saw" and we were not given a chance to challenge?? Next a weak, weak off side call that had to be reviewed like 5 minutes to erase a legit goal. Anyhoo a win is a win and my Bolts were able to skate off the rink with one more goal than the visitors so all is well. Two highlights on the evening, 1- Tyler Johnson getting a Hat-trick earning his 14th,15th & 16th goal on the season. 2- I was able to take my 25yr old Niece to her 1st hockey game ever! Judging by her excitement and overall participation I believe there is not only a new Lightning fan but a new hockey fan :D

Tampa 31-9-3 65pts.

Up next we host the red headed Klondike Calgary Flames.

Lets GO Lightning!!!

Boy the Sens have pretty much sucked since owner Eugene Melnyk decided to get rid of Kyle Turris.

Turris reportedly did not want to leave, the coach wanted him to stay, as did his teammates (it was said that Melnyk did not like Turris, for whatever reason).

Perhaps the team is trying to pay him back for being a cheap asshole owner! :LOL:

Hopefully Karlsson will get out of there asap.

 

Rumour has it that Melnyk also caused the rift with Alfredsson that sent him to Detroit; although he came back to work in the Sens organization, when Bryan Murray passed away he soon left again.

Melnyk also begged fans for a replacement liver, which he received from one, then shit on the same fans in a tone-deaf whine about money during the recent outdoor game with the Habs.

 

Eugene was majorly pissed off when he wasn't allowed to install gambling machines in the arena, and has been a pissy little prick ever since.

 

Go to hell, Eugene, as quickly and expediently as you can, and take your f***ing gambling machines with you.

Last Saturday night, my daughter's hockey team went to the Bruins-Hurricanes game. The head coach had access to a luxury box, and he brought along the other "coaches," who go out on the ice with the girls during practices. It was great fun. The best part? My son's favorite player, Bergeron, lit it up for 4 goals. So his sister got to stick seeing that live up his backside when we got home. :)
