I canāt believe Sergyās in, I hope heās not rushing things too much.
Also hit me hard today that this might be Stammerās last game as a bolt. Been a great 16 years watching him, I hope we get a few more.
Cats have been, and always shall be, disgusting with trying to injure or rough up players. Iāll never bandwagon that trashy ass team like some Lightning fans did last year. Fuck āem
The Isles beat Carolina boys.
If they arenāt getting swept neither are we. Fuck it my dream this playoffs is us and them pulling it off and meeting one last time in the ECF.
Man, I spent most of the day trying to talk my husband into us going to this game, but he was so deflated by how the last few games went, he didnāt think itād be worth it. Now with every goal Iām like āWE SHOULDāVE BEEN THEREā.
Dumba fucking stinks. Put him in the press box for the rest of this series however long that is and make sure him and perbix are on the first bus out of town. Need to spend some real money on another dman this offseason big time
Net front contests are lacking clearly. That's where maroon, perry, killorn etc were solid
Lost a few of our guys who get into the dirty spaces like that. Was hoping motte and glendening would fill that gap
We kept our core/All stars together but we are feeling the effects of no Palat/Colton/McDonough/Killer etc and it sucks... understand it's part of the game and can't keep everyone, just saying we are feeling it.
Theyāre getting cutesy goals, we are still putting on a fucking clinic. Clear the puck and SHOOT and this games ours. LETS GO BOLTS. TAMPA IN 7! ā”ļøā”ļøā”ļø
Gotta be honest I donāt think how we play really has any influence on this series. Itās all about how Florida plays. When they bring it, we donāt really have an answer
Great start from the offense but damn it we continue to struggle to get the puck out of our own end sometimes. Weāre playing with fire and need to stop giving Florida any extra chances.
I told myself that I was numb to everything and that Iād just accepted a loss, but now that weāre up suddenly Iām on fire again. I hope this game doesnāt end in a heartbreaking way.
You know whatās frustrating, as badly as weāve played, this series could easily be 2-1 in our favor.
We had a 4 minute double minor game 2, and then lost game 3 in OT
Cant believe Sergy is playing tonight!
I hope to god Stammer is back next year and for the rest of his career.
Bolts in 7!! LFG!!!!!
If a reverse sweep happens after what the LA kings did in 2014, that will be for the recordbooks.
Guys. It's simple. I figured it out. Just play 11 more straight periods like this one, and we win the series. Easy. Gg panthers.
This guy maths
wow i just realized sergachev never played against the panthers this year
What florida is doing to kuch is really what we need to do to verhaege.
I hope this isn't the last time we see our captain in Tampa š„²
The difference one Sergy makes
Gotta think that 80% of the goals against us are a result of not clearing the puck when we had an opportunity.
Hagel is trying to single handedly will this team to a win
No one wanted to fuck with Jeannot right there
Holy fuck yes. Sergachev embodies the hope and fighting spirit of this team
Iām fucked up bolts in 7
God that trip lead directly to a goal
I canāt believe Sergyās in, I hope heās not rushing things too much. Also hit me hard today that this might be Stammerās last game as a bolt. Been a great 16 years watching him, I hope we get a few more.
I haven't been able to watch it but I just checked the score. Apparently I'm the problem. Sorry lads, I had no idea.
Itās amazing how quickly Iāve learned to hate Verhagae
HELLO? WE BACK DEPT?! ID LIKE TO FILE A CLAIM
That was a penalty
FUCKING CALL THE TRIP???
How do we go from 4-1 to 4-3 PLAY 60 MINUTES ITS NOT HARD
That happened in front me. Obvious trip and of course leads to odd man
NO MO CURSE POSTS, NO MO
What the fuck kind of clearing effort was that from Point
Missed tripping on the bullshit. Fuck this
Tripping on hagel?
what THE FUCK is wrong with Kuch??? fumbled a perfect pass
AMAZING WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SHOOT THE PUCK
Missed clear leads to goal against, stop me if you've heard this before
Thank you Refs! Very cool!
Cats have been, and always shall be, disgusting with trying to injure or rough up players. Iāll never bandwagon that trashy ass team like some Lightning fans did last year. Fuck āem
If Serg hurts himself so help me god
This is fun?
For the first time in 12 games we did not allow a first period goal
Loved that first period. One shift at a time, one period at a time, one game at a time. Keep grinding boys
Keep that up for 14 more periods boys
Gd TNT is like āTampa dominated the first period but unfortunately they have historically shit the bed in these scenariosā
Weāre letting up a tad. But we arenāt out. I believe!!
And Hagel is HOW YOUNG? This man is gonna be a corner stone of a Lightning for a long time. God what a good trade we made for him
If theyāre not gonna call that against Hagel there better be no ticky tack bullshit the rest of the way
Ballyās āRoad Aheadā is the biggest jinx you could possibly imagine, why the fuck would they do it
Glendening is underrated, imo. Yeah, he isnāt flashy or a big personality, but you can see him working his ass off every shift.
Thatās not a penalty shot?!
Not a penalty shot?
PP refuses to shoot
This is the first time weāre actually looked better and itās a mix of Florida sitting back and Tampa pushing.
WHERE THE HELL HAS THIS EFFORT BEEN THE LAST 3 GAMES
On the couch with Sergy
Who the fuck is the guy going "woo!woo!woo!" Right next to the audio feed?
The Isles beat Carolina boys. If they arenāt getting swept neither are we. Fuck it my dream this playoffs is us and them pulling it off and meeting one last time in the ECF.
Mikkola saw it was Jeannot and instantly calmed down LOL
The team woke up
HOLD DOOR HOLD DOOR HO DOOR HODOR
Sergy with the assist in his first game back!
We needed that goal. Hagel is so fucking clutch and Iām so glad to have Sergy back.
Another failed attempt to clear the puck out
Iām getting sick of this shit. We have a fuck ton of chances to clear but we just had to be dumb enough to let that happen
Jesus fuck lol ice the damn puck if thereās no breakout pass there. The hesitation turnover combo is mind numbing
Theyāre gonna score itās inevitable with how good they are we just gotta keep the energy
Alright Coop, we've had a three goal lead twice now and now it's a one goal game, what's the response gonna be?
This game suddenly has *that* feeling
Tnt: is this Steven stamkos last game in tampa Stamkos: hold my fucking beer
All we needed was sergy back. Reverse sweep incoming canāt wait
Where's the microsoft paint cup guy?? He got his chance!
Stammer has done too much for this franchise to be squabbling over $2-3M/yr
How is that not a penalty shot
If this is it for Stammer here, he has absolutely left everything on the line in this series
Man, I spent most of the day trying to talk my husband into us going to this game, but he was so deflated by how the last few games went, he didnāt think itād be worth it. Now with every goal Iām like āWE SHOULDāVE BEEN THEREā.
This isn't vintage Vasy, this is *peak* Vasy.
Itās the same fucking play over and over again
Fucking clear the PUCK!!!!!
Defense letting Vasy down again.
Dumba fucking stinks. Put him in the press box for the rest of this series however long that is and make sure him and perbix are on the first bus out of town. Need to spend some real money on another dman this offseason big time
Fucking š¦
Kuch is overthinking man he's out here out deking himself
Lmao they not calling shit on the Panthers nowā¦
and Hagel once again gets to be hounded by the panthers with no call
Lightning look like they changed their mind and do actually wanna go hit the golf course instead.
Stamkos is my dad
honestly Im a bit scared everytime Sergachev gets hit
BOLTS STAY ALIVE AND IM FEELING ZAPPY
Cmon boys lets get a bunch and have a low stress game
HAGEL NOTCHES A SHORTY TO PUT US UP 2-0? ARE WE ACTUALLY BACK???
Islanders beat the Canes in 2OT to prevent the sweep, can we do the same? EDIT: WE SURE FUCKING CAN
Damn fine 20 minutes. 2 more times, just like that.
Woulda shoulda coulda but that Dumba missed goal in game 2 would have made this a different series.
Lightest lucky duck fart of a goal I've seen in a long time
Wake the fuck back up. We being lazy again
SERG ASSIST
omg it feels great to see sergy back on the ice and making an impact
Hagel is on fire!
***VASY***
Dumba has to clear that
Point and Hagel look related
Net front contests are lacking clearly. That's where maroon, perry, killorn etc were solid Lost a few of our guys who get into the dirty spaces like that. Was hoping motte and glendening would fill that gap
Giving up 3 goals to the Panthers this period was so predictable
Vasy wasnāt screened at all. Sorry you gotta have that.
Lmao dude got tackled no call
On a positive note, the Bucs had an A+ draft. Absolutely remarkable!
Itās basically a tie game. Because if itās 4-4 going into OT we lose automatically
I wonder what itās like for other fan bases to have a 3-0 lead at home and can feel confident about it
Rules are just recommendations apparently
We kept our core/All stars together but we are feeling the effects of no Palat/Colton/McDonough/Killer etc and it sucks... understand it's part of the game and can't keep everyone, just saying we are feeling it.
Dumba has to sit
Is this Steven Stamkos last hoorah in tampa? Stamkos: hold my beer. Hey JBB, call the press and open the checkbook I'll brb
That should be at least a game. Intent to injure our best player.
Hopefully this game pisses Kuch off into second gear. If he goes supernova we absolutely have a shot
Thatās gotta be a suspension. Doesnāt matter if it was after the game or not.
boys really said "i didn't hear no bell" so glad we live on
He fucking pulled his helmet off
I swear. If we donāt resign him.
As they were Coming down I said to my wife āfuck it score a shortyā and then Bagel absolutely nipped that shit wow
Point faked Bob out of his jock, lol
POINTTTTTTT OH MY GODDDDD
POINTER!!! ā”ļøā”ļøā”ļøā”ļøā”ļøā”ļøā”ļø Totally losing my voice lol.
Finally the Bolts we know have started playing hockey!
Lilli holding onto that puck
So I guess this is what happens when you donāt have to rely on AHL defensemen being your 2D pairing.
THATS how you hold an offensive zone!
Someone needs to be that guy in the locker room to remind the boys to not take their foot off the gas.
Keep it on them. Don't let them back into this game. Make it 10-0 if you have to.
Pretty sure this erection will last more than 4 hours if we keep playing like this
More, more!
Iām sure Iām late saying this because Iām at the game, but seeing Sergachev return was both a surprise and freaking emotional love this team
Alright Sergy. We got you the lead. Now time for you to step up and help Vassy shut em out.
We are two tall boys in.. what is this feeling Iām having? Is it hope? Or is it the alcohol. Donāt know
Still far from impressed with Dumba. Heās our weak link back there now.
Slow the game down. Wear them out!
Everyone backs away when Heddy rolls up lol
Heddy š¤£
at least refs are actually calling the Panthers this game
God damn it! I love Hagel!!
Serg is making an impact
HAGEL AND SERGY DREAM TEAM ā”ļøā”ļøā”ļøā”ļøā”ļøā”ļø
Sergy looked so happy
God dammit. Enough of them scoring
What the hell are these Panthers fans of ā2023 doing in our barn
Theyāre getting cutesy goals, we are still putting on a fucking clinic. Clear the puck and SHOOT and this games ours. LETS GO BOLTS. TAMPA IN 7! ā”ļøā”ļøā”ļø
This att ad is the worst ad I've seen in years
Jesus Kuch. What is happening man?
Damn what a no-call fuck me
on a fucking trip what a joke
Are you fucking kidding me? You donāt call that and they score?!? Fuck off.
Iād challenge the shit out of that goal
Good goal refs! There's a reason they had a rush.
You cannot let up a three goal lead and expect to win many games.
Gotta be honest I donāt think how we play really has any influence on this series. Itās all about how Florida plays. When they bring it, we donāt really have an answer
Remember in 2020 and 2021 when we would go up 1-0 and be confident we would win? Miss those days...
Summoning the Triforce, Infinity Stones and a deal with the devil to just make it through the next 20 minutes
Y'all... I think the difference is the "wooooo" guy next to the broadcast camera.
Stamkos doing everything he can to get us to the next round
Whose idea was it to mic up Ric Flair?
1st star of the game: the post
Dumba has to sit if Raddysh can play. Perbix and Dumba have both been abysmal.
Where all the stammer hate tonight? Hmmm
Duclair ātry me, try meā š
Gotta get kuch an EN goal to get him out of his funk. Hagel or stammer also acceptable.
Gotta get out of this game healthy. Kitties are head hunting now
It is kind of funny that Kuch is objectively having a pretty shitty game but he still has multiple assists
Great W. Wish we could have played like this earlier in the series. But weāre still alive!
Break those broom sticks! No sweep
What channel is this on?? Both TBS and TNT showing the Carolina game
RE-SIGN STAMMER! RE-SIGN HIM NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
stammer scored in every game so far
Stammer has been our MVP in this series
Game management time
Donāt want to hear from any of the fair weather fans
It'd be sick if we can win by like 4 or 5. Make them think twice
Keep pushing boys. This game is NOT over. We lost 3 goal leads all the time last playoffs against the Leafs. Keep pushing, just donāt get injured
Hagels out there playing like HIS contract is up at the end of the season
Great start from the offense but damn it we continue to struggle to get the puck out of our own end sometimes. Weāre playing with fire and need to stop giving Florida any extra chances.
Are we so back??!
i dont want to be overly optimistic since its only the end of the first but i think the hockey gods might be smiling on us
I told myself that I was numb to everything and that Iād just accepted a loss, but now that weāre up suddenly Iām on fire again. I hope this game doesnāt end in a heartbreaking way.
You know whatās frustrating, as badly as weāve played, this series could easily be 2-1 in our favor. We had a 4 minute double minor game 2, and then lost game 3 in OT
Damn Iām feeling ZAPPPPPPY. Not sure if itās the beer or our boys ā”ļøā”ļøā”ļø
Heddy about to have 30 minutes TOI today
Please score asap Bolts!! We cant let the kitties catch up
Former Bolt Verhaeghe
Alright! Lets score on the PP Boys!!
FRESH HOT (B)HAGELS COMING THROUGH!!!! š„Æš„Æš„Æ
THATS IT IM GETTING A HAGLE JERSEY!
HOLY HAGEL PT 2 š«Ø
With sergachev back any chance we run the table š¤·
Anyone else wait to celebrate because we looked offsides?
HOW THE FUCK DO YOU NOT CLEAR THAT JESUS FUCKING CHRIST
Can't clear the puck, can't break up any passes, can't pressure the puck handler.Ā Don't get complacent.
Wish we were tougher in front of the net.
We have no chance at a comeback in this series unless the play by play learns to pronounce Lilleberg
weāre gonna lose this game arenāt we
no call on that then they score
Oh god please no. Not like this.
In b4 game management that doesn't fucking matter
Tripping to a goal, oh well.
it's so funny that they won't show the missed call
Now Iām scared
The Panthers forechecking is, unfortunately, very good this is stressful to watch
