We have to win this one
return of the worm
With the Atlantic Division as tight as it is, is this game a must-win? With Detroit losing last night and a tough game against Buffalo tomorrow, you have to think this game and maybe even Sunday’s game as well are must-win games…
Win this game. I’m so sick of seeing the… (checks notes)… Buffalo Sabers taking our thunder.
We will win this one
Hopefully the boys find their groove and winning pedigree tonight.
The trade deadline was probably underwhelming for alot of Bolts fans but if JBB believes in this core with the addition of Perry then im all for it.
A nice blowout win tonight would be great!
LFG BOLTS!
Toronto seems to still be raging over the deadline so they won’t be focused tonight right? RIGHT?
Maybe we can score some goals, or prevent more against us, or look better than we have since the break? Let’s go, Bolts! ⚡⚡
Another chance to regain their identity, but i will not be shocked if they lose.
i’m kind of underwhelmed by the tdl but on the other hand the team isn’t as bad as they’ve been, nor were they as good as they were in that 20-1-1 stretch. is what it is. wish tampa bought more but that bjorkstrand trade hasn’t worked and that especially hurt them yesterday.
looking forward to the playoffs and beyond the only team that really concerns me are honestly the sabres and then the avs in the west. i don’t think carolina did enough, fla is just about toast, det added faulk who’s okay i guess, mtl didn’t add, pens didn’t add, caps sold, isles barely added and so on. i am very curious to see what happens with raddysh. he was running red hot earlier, now he isn’t. jbb is playing it slow. i just hope they can make it work. it’s gonna suck if raddysh signs for a reasonable number with another team. that’s kind of the only thing jbb has to avoid. if raddysh gets something crazy in free agency so be it.
Help us Perry Wan Kenobi!

The good news is that as bad as we have been the last week or so, Toronto has been much, much worse. If we can’t manage this one, we’re truly in a mega slump

I’m not familiar with “inside the rink” but that’s where I found a projected line up
#Tampa Bay Lightning Projected Lines
Guentzel-Point-Kucherov
Hagel-Cirelli-Bjorkstrand
Girgensons-Gourde-Holmberg
Sabourin-Geekie-Perry
Moser-Raddysh
Hedman-Carlile
McDonagh-Cernak
Vasilevskiy
Johansson
#Toronto Maple Leafs Projected Lines
Maccelli-Matthews-Nylander
Knies-Tavares-Cowan
Robertson-Domi-Joshua
Lorentz-Quillan-Jarnkrok
Rielly-Carlo
McCabe-Stecher
Benoit-Ekman-Larsson
Stolarz
Woll
If we can keep Knies off the board, I will call it a win.
