Vasy's such a likable kid.

 

[2MinutesforGiraffing]

I'm all about team Kristers, but it's impossible not to like Vasya as well. I want them both to succeed. But most of all, I want to survive this horrible, no good, very bad month.

 

[Brie]

Another good test for the team. Dallas have a lot of depth and they are struggling to make the playoffs and need every point they can take so they will come out hard against us to try and grab them so hopefully our team is ready and willing to play hard to get a win.

 

[Leonardo87]

Hoping for scoring from not just the 3rd and 4th line. Preferably from the Stamkos line.

Or what about this for a funky expectation: What if we got a goal from the PP?

OOoooooo

Miracles could happen...and us scoring a PP goal would be the definition of a miracle.

Getting a shot on goal during a power play would therefor be a minor miracle.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Dallas reminds me of our 2009–10 team.

That being said...

Victories're Nice

 

[JS91]

A win would be nice considering that we are playing our first afternoon games back-to-back against LA and Anaheim just 2 days from this.

 

[dechire]

Should be a win for the Lightning despite how much I want Dallas to get more points I'm really hoping for Bishop today since I want to see Vasy against LA and I don't see him getting two starts in a row. Also Dallas' PK sucks so I think the Bolts could get a couple of PP goals if they actually shoot the puck.

Listen man we can part the red sea, we can move mountains, we can have world peace, but I think you are asking for a lot there.

[LightningStrikes]

I expected Dallas to do a lot better this year. They're a good team nonetheless. Let's build on our last game in St. Louis! Foot on the gas, and maybe our top-6 finally gets a goal or two!

 

[DFC]

Thankfully, all our players are accounted for. Lots of trade rumors are flying around right now with players not on the ice for their respective practices.

 

[Outl4w]

We need this lets go Bolts!

 

[Brie]

So it begins...



Can't help but like it though, hope it will bring out the best of both goalies.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Don't want that career to dry up already, after all.

 

[DFC]

Vasy's off first. Looks like he's getting the nod.

 

[Brie]

Vasy is first goalie of the ice according to twitter so maybe he will start tonight.

 

[Brie]

If Vasy starts tonight then my guess is that Bishop will start against the Kings on Saturday and Vasy will play against the Ducks on Sunday.

 

[Brie]

I was hoping to have both Brown and Connolly on the 4th line with Boyle but oh well, hopefully the line will still work well:

 

[2MinutesforGiraffing]

Connolly getting scratched is interesting...

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Connolly getting scratched is interesting...

These guys are getting scratched all the time, I don't know if there's anything to read into it... unless we're collecting problem children and Kane is on his way to the bay.
