New Jersey got undressed yesterday by Columbus. No reason for Lightning to give up points here ... especially with the Devils playing on the back to back and us having two days rest. Expect the Devils to come out inspired and pissed off ... but we should prove to be too talented and rested. Devils run out of gas in the third we win 4 - 1. Goals by Vladdy, Kuch, Cally, and Paquette.

Don't drop this one guys... the Devils just played last night. No excuses

2-1 loss. Stamkos gets our loan goal while falling down backwards in front of the net.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Winning is the only option

Yay time to play some anti-hockey... zzz...

Scoring first against the Devils is always crucial, otherwise they just lock it down.

In general, I wonder what our winning percentage is when we score first compared to when we dont.

According to this written back on Feb. 4th.

It is 21-4-0 when striking first, 6-15-4 when the other team does.

I looked it up and since then we've gone 3-1-0 scoring first and 3-3-0 when the other team does, so that's 24-5-0 (.827) and 9-18-4 (.355) so far this season.

Wow...there you have it. When teams have to open up against us they can't keep up. It's when they clog and grind us to death that we struggle.

This is another tough matchup and a must win game.

Hopefully Kuch is back, he was on the ice this morning.

EDIT:

Saw this right after a posted, great news:

NJ played last night, but probably not that tired because TRAP.

 

[Iceman]

Won't be much more than that.

 

[The Gongshow]

Its Okay, Hedman will be fourth all time in a couple seasons

 

[Lord Stan 2020]

ok I AM NOT BACKING OFF I FOOOKING HATEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE THESE GUYS IS NO WAY WE SHOULD HAVE THE RECORD WE DO IN LAST FEW YEARS WITH THESE GUYS

is simple are we an championship team? I say yes SO THIS IS A MUST WIN A 2 - 0 WIN A WIN WHERE WE GET 2 POINTS AND JERSEY GETS ZERO

I will be pissed with anything but 2 to zero points if the score is that im happy

I expect a win tonight and next two games I said this and I see this as one of those team building games THIS IS HUGE honestly looking at all these other teams up and down flailing right now

We MUST WIN

we win we win we win 4-1

 

[ThunderAlleyNomad]

Meh, it's Jersey. We never win and the games are always boring on top of it.

not even we dont win we dont score

kucherov is back maybe he can go off

 

[Victhor Ollesson]

 

[CupsOverCash]

This is a game we have to get the early lead instead of them getting it. Otherwise it's trap hockey for the rest of the night.

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Score first - we win, if not - we lose.

 

[FinnLightning26]

I'll go lie down and probably fall asleep in five minutes. Not excited for this game at all.

 

[Brie]

I'm happy to have Kuch back but I'm not happy with JAM back on the 4th line though he's now playing with Vladdy and those to getting some chemestry going could be really good for us going forward. At least if Stammer leaves.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Good to see Kuch come back and Jam remain in the lineup

 

[Brie]

Schneider is in net for NJD, oh joy.
