Why is Bish saying doesn't feel 100 percent? Just workload I hope?

Just tired I would assume. He'll be back in shape once he's had a solid 3-4 days off, which he should be getting pretty soon.

I miss the Atlanta Thrashers. Tampa always owned them. But I feel that Droiun will have a big game and lead us to victory.

Go

 

[LightningStrikes]

Time to give Bish a night off?

Time for TKO to wake up?

Time for 25-62 to not suck?


Go !!!

 

[These Are The Days]

Reading those pregame quotes you'd think Boyle was the captain of the team with the way he talks about Namestnikov.

 

[chasespace]

Put Boyle on the 1st PP, takes faceoffs and sits in front of the net

 

[Boltsppy]

Drouin will meet his old friend Ehlers, they played together in Halifax

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

[The Underboss]

Would be great to see two wins tonight; Isles and Lightning!!!

 

[2MinutesforGiraffing]

Time for 25-62 to not suck?

As if that's a possibility...

 

[Stammertime91]

Pavelecs numbers are better than Bens. LOL.
Carle in the top 4. Bigger LOL.

Excuse me, am I the only one wondering how tired a professional can be 7 games into a new season? Already not 100% wth??? This certainly makes me wonder how he's going to be in March.

Hope Boyle just had a rest and it's nothing serious.

Agreed. Flip is redundant on the 1st unit now that Drouin is out there. I think Boyle is the bigger scoring threat.

This is going to be a tough game.

There's a reason why most goalies don't break 65 games in a year. And, if anything, it could be more fatiguing at this time of the season when they're fresh out of the gate and not quite used to the grind. Especially Bish, who probably didn't have the benefit of the entire summer to get himself into shape because of the torn groin.

It looks like several of our guys (Kuch) are taking a while to get up to speed. Not surprising that Bish is feeling it.

Being a goalie seem different from playing any other positions because you are not only out there for 60 minutes you have to stay focused the whole time, and unlike skaters if your struggle the whole team struggles (when a skater struggles they have 17 other skaters + goalies helping them out). But I’m not goalie so I don’t know for sure, it just seem as if it’s hard and takes a lot out of you both physical and mentally.

EDIT: Oh, missed what DFC said, that's a better explanation then what I came up with.

Possibly he's tired because he needs a break? Unlike the skaters he's on the ice for the entire game. He's done a back to back and he's played every minute of all seven games. Once he can have a game off every once in a while, he'll be fine.

Didn't read the responses above me before I responded. What those guys said.

Brilliant explanation if you ask me.

You look at those +/- numbers and wonder what could have been if TKO had shown up.

Jesus christ, we grabbed Poulion so we could actually rest Bishop for a game or two.

On the first tweet - that game in Winnipeg was on Friday, October 24. Today, of course, if Friday, October 23, so it's coincidental as anything but nonetheless amusing that the Bolts are back in the 'Peg on the same Friday of the same month in straight seasons.
