Yes I realize the schedule is every other day in the NHL. But game one is today (Wednesday) so by all rights game two would be on Friday. However game 2 is on Saturday so that is a gap of two daze. I didn't see anything event wise scheduled at the Ball Arena so I was wondering why it was scheduled that way this round. In round 2 me Bolts had to play a back to back with no day between because os a concert that could not be rescheduled at Amalie...

I am not quite sure?

Does anyone find it strange there is 2 day gap in the schedule between game 1 & 2? I am assuming there's another event at Ball Arena Friday? Maybe a concert or something...

I will see if any of my streaming services carry that channel! My better 1/2 and I cut our dependence on cable TV about 6 years ago and only have HD-OTA & internet streaming...

That's why they're already in Denver 😆 A few daze to get acclimated! But when the series moves to the every other night segment, the thin air may actually be a factor! Only time will tell....

We'll like I like to say; Only time will tell! I am definitely excited me Bolts have the opportunity when so many (even supposed "Lightning" fans) counted them out even as early as the regular season when we only made it is as a wild card and wouldn't have any chance without home ice advantage. We'll that's all history and Tampa is in the finals for the 3rd year in a row! This squad has been able to find a way to make it happen no matter what! Also as I said waaay back in round one. I thought the Leafs would be the hardest series Tampa would face. However with that said, with Colorado proving consistently they are the team to beat! Only time will tell 🤪

Yeah buddy no disrespect intended! I know who you root for and don't, it's fine if you think Tampa won't win... Please forgive me if I put off any other kind of vibe! I am just in a euphoric state of mind! I am looking forward to my team being the team that finally gets the respect it deserves! I think if Tampa does manage to 3peat we will be in the history books of one of the greatest teams of all time! Finally crossing the threshold into the elite! Prolly we will still get diss'd but we will be cemented in the "Guilded Cage"... So the next thing will be if Tampa does 3peat, will they be able to do it again for 4? But without getting to far ahead of me self. It's gonna have to be just one game at a time in the finals...

Haha! I get it! 😆 I realize there are folks such as yourself that aren't going to pull for me Bolts! The national sports media will probably follow suit! We even have our own segment of fairweather fans that never expected Tampa to make it to the finals! But It's okay because we who 3elieve know what kind of team we have down here & the Av's better be prepared for the fight of their life!!! 😉🤪 It's gonna be one hell of a series! One for the books for sure! It all starts Wednesday!!! LET'S GO LIGHTNING!!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

After having to listen to the ESPN crew throughout the Rangers series. I have really learned to appreciate when Tampa is underestimated!!! 😆 I 3eleive!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

Tampa BE for REAL!!!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️ On To Denver!

So I am sure most of you guys heard something about the NYR fan sucker punching a TBL fan Thursday night in "The Garden". The story is going viral around these parts. I attached the article from the Tampa Bay Times. I am all about full unbridled passion to support a sports team. But to do physical harm to another person crosses the line! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.tampabay.com/news/crime/2022/06/10/lightning-fan-knocked-out-in-viral-video-of-sucker-punch-from-rangers-fan/%3foutputType=amp

I think if the Rangers have anything left in the tank, it will all be left out on the ice this evening! If things don't go their way early and they go in desperation or goon squad mode, Tampa will be able to exploit! Tampa just has to make sure they stick with their game and force NY to play along. It's gonna be real interesting!!! Is it 8pm yet?? LET'S GO BOLTS!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

Hopefully we'll know tonight if Tampa can take the series from the Rangers! I'm on pins & needles counting down the hours!!! Only time will tell! GO BOLTS!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

Both!!

I am willing to bet game 6 will start on the same note game 5 Ended on! LET'S GO BOLTS!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

wOw what a WIN what a WIN!!! On the road in a hostile barn, Tampa comes up with a HUGE 3-1 come from behind victory!! Tampa now leads this series 3-2 and returns to Tampa Saturday! I can tell you Amalie is going to be LIT UP!!! I will be there! Hopefully me Bolts will be able to close this series out! It definitely appears Tampa has the Rangers number!!! On another note last night's game ended in a melee with our captain Stammer laying down the hammer on Rangers Alexis Lafrenière while 3 other pairs we're going at it as well!! As mentioned before WHAT A WIN!!! LET'S GO LIGHTNING!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

Game Day!!! Tampa has to win at least one on the road in this series so tonight would be as good as any! There has been some whispering of a return of Brayden Point too. This is all based on him not being ruled out! Only time will tell... LET'S GO BOLTS!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

I have not heard anything about this? I will research.

So as most of Y'all know Tampa dominated the NY Rags 4-1 (one empty netter) last night! The only scoring NY could muster was a 6 on 4 PP with 3 minutes left! Everything thing seems to be clicking for Tampa! Hopefully the momentum will carry on to "The Garden" tomorrow night! The only truly annoying thing about last night is having to listen to the ESPN morons swoon over the Rangers! At one point saying NY was up 2-0 when it was Tampa! When it was 3 nothing all they talked about is how young and fast the Rangers are. When the home town crowd starting mocking The NYR "Igor" chant after the 3rd goal the idiots start talking about what respect the home crowd has for their goalie! When NY finally did score (6 on 4 PP) then all the talk was how good NY's PP is!!If anything positive was said about the Lightning it was in a oh yeah Tampa does some good things sometimes type verbage! I realize Tampa never gets respect but the ESPN crew acts like they wanna have the NYR's babies! Anyway on to game 5 to see if me Bolts can pull out a win on the road!! LET'S GO BOLTS!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

I think it's actually TGH, which would stand for Tampa General Hospital...

WOW congrats to the Avs for making it to the Stanley Cup Finals! The Oilers tried hard but it just seemed they couldn't come up with the right answers. It's Game 4 in the east tonight! I would be lying if I said I was not a bit on the apprehensive side of things today. I just hope Tampa comes at the Rags wit the same (or more) intensity as they did in game 3! Hopefully with a win the momentum will carry over to game 5. It is pretty much a certainty our star forward Brayden Point is done for the remainder of the season. He definitely is out for game 4! So as the Lightning do pretty well at "next man up" someone has to fill that void. My only hope is the Bolts go on to win this series, while Colorado lays back & gets too much rest! 😆 Only time will tell. LET'S GO BOLTS!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

Can I just say one thing... WHEW!!! WOW!!! OMG!!! (Okay technically that was 3 things) 😆 It truly looked like me BOLTs we're going to drop a critical game 3 or at least at minimum force an OT period knotted up @ 2 -2 late in the 3rd! Our house was filled with loud passionate Rangers fans! We had our work cut out trying to drown them out with our own passion! Nothing that Tampa fans are not used to! However with 40 + - seconds left in the 3rd one of our most underrated players #18 Andrej Palat scores the game winning goal!!! I (the rest of the barn) sang Sweet Caroline! The house came down!!! Tampa needs another BIG win Tuesday to even up the series! Only time will tell!!! LET'S GO LIGHTNING!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

Well unfortunately me BOLTs drop 2 in a row to NYR! Tampa looked like they were up for the challenge in game 2 by coming out and scoring 1st. But as when our defense struggles so does Vassey! The final score 3-2. Now down 0-2 in this series Tampa is on the verge of a "must win" situation. Hopefully the next two games at home will make the difference. We have another matinee Sunday with a 3pm pick drop. I will be there looking forward to see a Lightning victory! LET'S GO LIGHTNING!!! 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️⚡🌩️

Yeah Tru Dat! Historically Tampa is sluggish after a long break. As was demonstrated last night! I did see some glimpse of Lightning hockey here and there. However the more out of sync & sloppy, confused/overwhelmed play doomed the Bolts! I knew when NY scored in the 1st 2 minutes, it would be a long night for Tampa! Oh well at least Tampa got that crap out of the way! LOL 😆 I am sure the "real" Tampa team will return Friday night! LET'S GO BOLTS!!!

Rest = RUST!!!
