1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) The tale of two teams; Monday night against one of the worst teams in the NHL this season an aggressive Tampa Bay Lightning earn their 60th win (5-2) of the season. Me Bolts become 1 of only 3 teams in NHL history to do such and seemed poised to actually have enoigh games left to break that record. The team still is not at full health bit seems to be able to overcome that advirsity. It was also annonced that an injury to our back up goalie Lois Domingue forced the lightning to call up Eddie Pasquale from the farm team "The Crunch"Tuesday night a team that appears to be the lightning in white & blue uniforms take to the ice against a team that is fighting for their post season life the Montreal Canadians. The Lightning strike 1st but seem to be playing a lot in their own defensive end. Pasquale is put in as net minder and does relatively well by being peppered with the puck. Score is a manageable 2-2 at the end of the 2nd period but the SOG numbers are heavily in favor of the home team. The final ends up 4-2 with me Lightning losing a chance to break the most wins by any team in NHL history record. All Tampa can do now is tie the record set by Detroit of 62 games. My question is why did coach cooper not play Pasquale Monday against a team that had nothing to play for at all. Then play our beast net minder Vasilevskiy for last night against a team that was going to bring everything they had & then some! True that Pasquale's demise was from the poor production of the guys in front of him. It is hard for any goalie to do well when having to defend 45 shots on goal! Oh well it is what it is. Up next we travel to Toronto to take on the Leafs in what is sure to be a preview of a playoff game.Tampa 60 - 16 - 4. 124pts.Lets GO Lightning!!⚡⚡⚡⚡ :hockeygoon: I had on eye on that Lightning- Canadiens game as a Canadiens loss would have clinched a playoff spot for the Penguins. Where were the Bolts when we needed them? Just kidding. Pens win would have clinched as well but they couldn't manage a win against the Red Wings, either, Tuesday night. They lost 4-1 and have to try again tomorrow night. Their loss gave also home ice to the Caps in the first round. Still looking forward to the playoffs, though! Go Pens! Lots of weird upsets involving teams that are out of the playoffs beating the top playoff teams. We see that every year but seemingly more so this year. Sorry, have to pull for the Red Wings tomorrow night. I want the Isles to secure second place and home ice against the Pens. Also pulling for Chicago tonight against the Blues. I want Winnipeg to finish in first in the Central because I think the Stars would have the best shot of winning the first round against the Jets.

blackhawkrush Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Hawks are eliminated. Let's try to finish over .500 at least. My condolences for your team not making it! I have been there before! Do think there will be a major change in the organization and/philosophy stemming from this? Anything you would like to see happen? Finally ( I gotta ask :P ) now your Hawks are officially out do you have a team (or selection of such) you will be pulling for to go all the way?We can't expect many changes because of the huge contracts on the team. I would make Gustafsson a forward and look for a stud defenseman in the off season. Don't know what's going to happen with Ward. If he leaves, I hope we won't end up with Delia as the backup. The organization has faith in him, I don't. As far as who I want to win it all, give me anybody from the Eastern Conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Pens win over Detroit and advance to the playoffs for a 13th year in a row! Didn't want to say anything while the game was on and jinx it. Pens clinched with a 4-1 win! The awesome Phil Kessel had 2 goals, Crosby 1, and Guentzel 1. Murray had 33 saves. On to a (probably short) playoff run! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what will change before they start next season, with a 3rd pick in the draft who knows? I do hope that Ward comes back, he did a decent job keeping the team going while Crow was hurt. Toews and Kane had great total goals and they stepped up when needed.

The Bolts are impressive and I believe they will take the Eastern Conference no doubt. But one never knows, they may get overconfident and slip a bit. Actually didn't expect them to go out so early last year so...it's the Playoffs . I am a Western Conference fan so I hold out hope that they will surprise everyone and beat the Bolts...I just don't know which team will end up there. So many teams that have a chance but have players hurt (Sharks, Jets). It would be fun to have an all Canadian final between Calgary and Winnipeg. The reports I have seen today have the networks hoping that matchup doesn't happen, wouldn't get as good of ratings...not so sure about that but I just hope that there are lots of seven game series and we see some great playoff hockey!! :hockeygoon: :clap: :yay: :madra: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) I'm going to continue rooting, and cheering for Toronto. I hope the Toronto Maple Leafs will knock out Boston. I think, and feel they have a really good chance to do it. The Pittsburgh Penguins is another team, who I'll be pulling for because they've been my second favorite N.H.L. team. As for the rest of the N.H.L. first round matchups, I think there are a couple, or few pick 'ems. With the Western Conference, it could be more unpredictable, and a toss up, than the Eastern Conference. The other N.H.L. teams, who I would like to see advance into the second round, but don't know if they will are: In the Eastern Conference, Pittsburgh over New York Islanders, Tampa Bay over Columbus, Carolina over Washington. In the Western Conference, Colorado over Calgary, San Jose over Vegas, Nashville over Dallas, and St. Louis over Winnipeg. In the first round, there might be some upsets. If Tampa Bay doesn't win the Stanley Cup, I will be surprised, though. Edited April 11, 2019 by Derek19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 73's Islanders take the Pens, 4-3 in overtime! Goals by Kessel ( ) in the first period, Malkin in the second, and Schultz with a minute and a half left to go in the third, which tied it up. Pens couldn't hang on during OT, though, and Josh Bailey scored the winner for the Islanders 4:39 in. Better luck to the Penguins Friday night! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonmistymemory Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) Still a bit in shock over the results of last nights game. Man the 1st period me Sticks of fire were killing it! Leading 3-0 the house was rocking! Everybody was feeling it! Or House! Our Bolts! Our season, Then things tapered off in the 2nd while allowing Columbus a lone goal the 2nd finished 3-1. No big deal we got this was the general consensus in the stands. Then the unthinkable! If skates had wheels they had all fallen of Tampa's shoes Columbus wins 4-3! I can tell you one thing about weeknight games. The next mornings 5am rolls around a lot faster and the day after is hell but with a win it is well worth it, with a loss the whole day is a drag. Oh well I knew Columbus would win at least one in this series but for the life of me didn't think it was gonna happen on game 1! I guess in a strange sense it is good to get the losses out of the way early... Game 2 Friday night!Lets GO Lightning!!⚡⚡⚡⚡ :hockeygoon: Edited April 12, 2019 by Crimsonmistymemory 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Well things started off with a bang; Columbus was ready to play and the Isles look good. Stars surprised the Preds, I thought they were the one team being overlooked Wed. San Jose was fired up, poor Pavelski, scoring a goal with his chin and losing teeth! :hockeygoon: I hope the Knights will give it a better go Friday, they seemed off. Thursday was a mixed bag; glad Toronto beat the Bruins, expected the Caps to win and I hoped the Avs would give Calgary more of a fight, guess we'll have to see how it goes Saturday. It's crazy trying to switch channels to see what's happening...love playoff time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
