GDT: 10/3/23 - 7:00PM EDT - Florida vs Tampa Bay in Orlando [Preseason Game 5]

[TheDaysOf 04]

Love it or hate it, at least our 4th line can skate faster than 3 mph.

Love it. Glendening is who we thought he was, even at an older age, and Motte is an absolute upgrade over Archibald.

Enough can not watch this game anymore tonight. Both teams sloppy. The best looking bolt forward Paul. And if we have to depend Jeanott for PO goals were in a world of hurt. Johanson looked ok but then again the Panthers were even more sloppy than the bolts. This should have been a game where guys showed more skill to solidify their spot. Instead we get the we hate you you hate us honing. Perbix with a particularly poor two periods. Hagel missing breakaway Cirelli just absent from pushing offense tonight. ABB was active in the first but all the penalties in the second he had very limited time again where does he fit I’m not sure. Looks like Watson will get a contract and his and Jeanott’s PIMs will keep us short handed .

Thankfully Drago was not injured late in the first. I have tried to give Bogo the benifit of the doubt but he is a slug skating.

Many will make the point that our best guys were not out there but the Panthers did not have their best either. We don’t know anything more now than before the game started.

Dude just go to sleep and do us a favor and stop watching the lightning. Maybe go follow your buddy Killorn over to the ducks.

probably the best game by ABB i've seen so that's something. he is forechecking a bit for once + making faster decisions with the puck

I've been barking up this Motte tree for years, and its everything I expected, so far...until he is hurt.

 

[Ducati Boy]

Who would have thought that a pre-season game, where you are mixing and matching new combinations with new players, would be sloppy? Go figure.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Nicely done by Merela in the corner against 2 panthers

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Finn on Finn crimes

 

[EXTRAS]

5 to Jean-claude for fighting

5 to mikkola for being a ragdoll

 

[Master P]

Kitty cats still mad that they're playing second fiddle to Daddy.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

It’s gonna be ok.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Before these two penalties (no idea why Merela is going) there have been 98 PIMs in this game.

Might as well get 1 more then to make it a nice solid number.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

f***ing hell Motte, well done.

Call me crazy, but I'm thinking Motte is going to end up being a much better fit than Archibald would've been.

Absolutely

Zero chance that girl drinking that beer is over 21 lmao

I've wanted him here since like 2020, so I will not call you crazy.

Might as well get 1 more then to make it a nice solid number.

We are now at 110 PIM for the game. So close enough.

 

[Master P]

Keep it JoJo!

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Another Shut out by JJ Frankie JJ. Well done.

 

[Hoek]

Johansson is absolutely terrible. Can't believe he let in so many goals! Why did we sign that stiff?

 

[DistantThunderRep]

What a slop shop game, everyone on the team should be ashamed of themselves also.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Back to back shutouts for Johansson. This is been the biggest surprise of the preseason

 

[aylib]

This was the last preseason game the Lightning and Panthers played in Amway



Bogo fought Marchment, Serge fought Bennett, Perry fought Tippett, etc. but imo maybe the most important one was Katchouk initiating a fight with Bennett. Definitely felt like that was the moment Katchouk won his spot. It earned him the respect of the veterans in the room.

Coincidentally Paul said something yesterday that I including in the op about making sure you could trust the guy next to you on the ice. So we'll see how this 3rd period plays out. Maybe there's another Katchouk like moment coming up in this game.

What’s a Katchouk moment?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bolts win the 2023 Orlando Bowl. Let Shades hand that trophy to @Felonious Python

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

This is only preseason, and I'm already alarmed, ashamed, and disgusted.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

Raddysh looked …not great. Really wish we had a backup (besides bogo) on the right side since both Raddysh and perbix haven’t looked great and cernak is mr glass.
