[BoltsFanSinceDay1]

From game above, February 15th vs. Florida at home--not a best play, but sure is nice to see at least a few fans in the stands:

Then two days after that Monday night loss to the Panthers:Lightning’s game Thursday night in Dallas postponed (due to an historic ice storm in Dallas)

Then the next day after that, our Saturday game is postponed also: Lightning at Stars on Saturday postponed because of winter storm

A previously postponed game with Carolina (due to their COVID protocol) was rescheduled quickly for Saturday, February 20. We lost, not much to note except for this:

1. Lecavalier - 1037
2. St. Louis - 972
3. Stamkos - 816
4. Hedman - 777
5. Kubina - 662
6. Killorn - 600

Palat breaks the tie in the 3rd period, defects it off Carolina players at the net:

Bolts win vs. Carolina, 3-0. With some fans in the stands including Rick Peckham...

Colton's first NHL game, first shot, first goal that is the Game Winning Goal! Must be a thrill to get the assist from a future Hall of Famer in Hedman for his first goal.

Second shift....

Second shift....

Darn. Fixed it. Thanks Macho.

Darn. Fixed it. Thanks Macho.

Don't let it happen again.

Colton's first NHL game, first shot, first goal that is the Game Winning Goal! Must be a thrill to get the assist from a future Hall of Famer in Hedman for his first goal.

Love where he was playing on that goal, need more of that in front of the net.

Second half of a back to back with McElhinney in net. Tense game, but pulled out a win, 3-1. Won 3 out of 4 of this series with Carolina with 3 games yet to play. Sergachev is photogenic!
(thanks go to @Master P)

Our first goal of the game and Serge's first of the season. Inside Reimer's blocker:

Gourde, with the nice wrister, and McElhinney gets the assist!

Vasy having a good run...

 

[These Are The Days]

Get Heddy's buzzer beater in here. Every once in a while you'll get a goal with 0.1 on the clock but when it gets to be Hedman slum dunking on the Blackhawks it's that much more special. Doing it to Boston might've been the only thing more awesome

Stammer’s toe drag goal was a beaut!

Broken horn last night vs. Detroit will be pretty memorable in the years to come. Went off every 59 seconds in the first period. Jon Cooper: “I thought I was at my kid’s squirt game. It was unbelievable. The first one that went off on what I thought was going to be a scoring chance on the power play.”
Everyone was told to ignore it and play on; they fixed it for the 2nd period.

The above game on March 11, when Goodrow knocked out Erne, was the 2nd half of a back to back, McElhinney in net, and we lost with an empty netter, 4-6 Detroit.

Kucherov, all smiles, was back on the ice during practice:


Then we played vs. Nashville Predators, 3800 fans in the stands got to be there for the Stanley Cup Banner raising to the rafters:


Brayden Point had an incredible no look goal in the win over Nashville, 3-6

March 15, 2021 at Dallas Hedman reached 500 career points on an assist to Stamkos--3rd goal of the game:


Great compilation from drafting to present, look at that baby faced kid!


Ross Colton scored first for us in the shootout:
