Gourde is doing his usual things. Pushing people bigger than him, making breakaways on PK and not scoring.

 

[Lightning1995]

Nice PK

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Solid PK.

 

[Stammertime91]

That's such a weak call on Dotchin. I guess you're supposed to let forwards hit you and stand in your crease these days cause you'll get penalised for keeping them out of it.

 

[Lightning1995]

JT Brown needs to be replaced. Not good enough.

Liability

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Yanni Gourde is relentless!!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Yanni is having himself a game.

Guys like Gourde, Dotchin, and Brown are what this team needs especially come the post season.

I am not condoning taking unnecessary penalties mind you, but they are sandpaper and that is something past Lightning teams really lacked.
Many times, the opposing team's gameplan is to 'push TB around'.

Those guys just won't allow that....AND they can play hockey.

I'll live with the penalties they will take here and there (within reason)....team just needs to kill them off.
But I value the fact they aren't going to allow other teams to take advantage of the star players or the goaltender.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Ouch Girardi!

Vasy doing Vasy things

 

[LightningStrikes]

Shots 5-12

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Could have gone better. Could have gone worse.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Well, considering we were outshot 12-5, I will take a scoreless tie going into the 2nd.

TB needs to pick up the shot totals for sure....but meh, the 3rd is our period anyways. We save our best stuff for that.

Go Bolts!

this was vezina level save.

Yanni Gourde is relentless!!

I’ve been a believer in Yanni since his days in the Q, but honestly I never thought he’d make it to the NHL as the definition of an energy player. And the best part about him, he makes his teammates better because his play is contagious.

 

[Stormbreaker]

TJ is back. Congrats on #100!

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

What a shot.

 

[Hint1k]

TJ!!!!

 

[LightningStrikes]

TyJo!!!

 

[Stormbreaker]

Sergachev made that all happen.

 

[Stormbreaker]

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Tyjo again.

101

 

[J T Money]

Let's get TJ a hatty.

 

[Hint1k]

another save like this.
