Keep the streak alive

 

[LightningStrikes]

Let's win!

Yay #26!

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Last game was good but they need to keep grinding out way more wins before we can feel like they are the team we have known can contend like in past years.

Lets do this.

 

[These Are The Days]

Cheers to my all time favorite Lightning player. I've gotten over the trade so long ago it doesn't matter to me anymore and nor does it change my thankfulness for him sticking it out and busting it EVERY night he was out there on the ice. He had a heart of a lion and absolutely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. He was consistently a league best player for almost a decade and would have finished with a much longer career and a higher point total if his NHL career hadn't effectively started when he was 24/25 years old. I was upset at the time he left but I couldn't be upset for long when I look back at everything he did for us.

One day be passed by the likes of Stamkos and Hedman but for now the guy who was 5'8 remains the greatest giant this team ever had and remains at this moment the greatest player in franchise history.

 

[The Macho King]

All hatchets are buried tonight. Welcome home Marty!

 

[42]

Not Bishop starting.

 

[Hoek]

Please play with Marty's pride tonight. Can't lose if we do.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Time to unretire my St. Louis jersey for one night. This night will be special for a lot of people and it will be for me too. He was one of my all-time favourite players and one of the guys that got me into this team. I hate what he did but time heals wounds and especially now that he's retired, it doesn't matter so much anymore. There's no denying he's the best player this franchise has had so far.

Cheers, #26!

 

[Brie]

Vasy in net but the rest of the lineup will be the same. Hopefully they can keep playing like they did last night and just try and push the pace instead of letting the other team do it.

Hope they want to win it for Marty.

 

[DFC]

There was a very brief period this season when I was more confident with Vasy in net than Bishop.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Sportsnet One will broadcast the entire ceremony and game

 

[Sky04]

Can we just ****ing win tonight?

Here's to a full effort in front of the guy who probably gave the most night in and night out in a Lightning uniform.

 

[Sky04]

Oh and the guy still looks jacked, could probably slot him up on the 3rd line with Johnson if we needed, would be more effective than Callahan.

Cheers to that. If we embarrass ourselves in front of Point tonight, I'll be very disappointed.

Why not reunite his old line?

This. I don't like the way he left, but as long as he was wearing a Lightning sweater I never for one second questioned his effort.

You know the bluejackets will blow vasy away and our defense tonight pretty easy

 

[The Gongshow]

I was upset with the way he left the team, but thats forgotten now. Tonight it is a celebration of one of the greatest players in this teams franchise. I miss seeing him play.

26, thank you.

 

[xteesy]

Anyone know if we can watch the ceremony on TV?

 

[MattM92]

I'll never forgive what he did to end his time here, but I'll also never forget all he did for hockey in Tampa. For just one night I'm going to forget about the end and remember the journey.

Lighten up, Francis.

I'm seeing that Sun Sports is beginning Lightning Live at 6:30 for an 8pm game. Presumably it'll be during that stretch.

 

[RegularSznAllStars]

Definitely put a major stain on his legacy here.



So anyone else think Callahan's hockey career is over and his pressbox/IR career is about to begin?

 

[Todd1a]

Marty celebrate then followed by a bluejacket blow out vs vasy and the Lightning
