GDT: 3/30/23 - 7:00PM EDT - Washington vs Tampa Bay

[TheDaysOf 04]

Should have been back to back shutouts for Vasy. The team defense was great tonight

 

[JoVel]

Another disappointing season for the Caps in the Ovie era

I'm so horribly devastated for them.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

I'm so horribly devastated for them.

They're never gonna beat those Penguins.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Pretty solid all-around game tonight.

 

[JTBF81]

Missed this one, but it looks like they came to play again! Nice win, I'll have to watch the replay later.

 

[StammerHammer]

They must have told Cooper they were tired of being embarrassed.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

FREE PATTY

why did they lock my man up

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

They looked primed for the playoffs. Whether they keep it up, who knows, but this was the kind of game you wanted to see them start to stack after the win against Carolina

 

[Bartleby]

The end of an era.

They've had a nice run, though you could argue that they may have left a few deep runs, if not Cups, on the table. Our time will come too but hopefully still several years away.

 

[T REX]

Great win. Great effort.

 

[JoVel]

Oh they're still by all means massive chokers even if they won one Cup. To make it out of the 2nd round just once with the rosters they've had is embarrassing.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Good stuff obviously, but the team has also cut down on dumb mistakes and easy chances

 

[Stammertime91]

Just finished watching the game... few mins behind. Wow. The boys DO remember how to play.

Hedman and Cernak looked like they were in playoff form again. Sergachev was even better I thought. Those three finally pulled their heads out of their ass collectively and looked like themselves. All on the same page. I thought Raddysh and Perbix were good but both pinched, Raddysh especially, early on way too much. I like what Raddysh brings though.

Vasy was vasy. Finally stringing together good performances.

Gotta give it to my main man Anthony Cirelli. I rag on him cause I know HF Lightning criticism fuels his game. He was so good he carried Maroon to a multi goal game. Jeannot absolutely blasted everybody he got around. Nearly killed a man in the 1st in their end but missed. Looks like it clicked on what we want him to do. I thought the lines looked very good. Hagel, Paul and Colton has great potential. Eyssimont in over PEB preferably.

You're right, of course, but I was trying to be magnanimous as their run comes to an end.

Easy there. Yes, it was a nice win but it was a B2B for Washington and they really had nothing to play for other than pride, meanwhile we're trying to get into playoff form. The Bolts did what they had to do and that's all positive but lets not gush too much.

 

[Hoek]

Feels good to spank those guys. Hope they stay in the basement for a while now

 

[Rschmitz]

Rounding into playoff form maybe?

 

[Bartleby]

Feels good to spank those guys. Hope they stay in the basement for a while now

Seems that will be the case, though they are, as of this moment, #11in the Bedard sweepstakes.

 

[Sky04]

Meaningless regular season game

 

[Flat Ronnie]

Did they stick Maroon with a couple faster guys? Maybe got him to pick it up a bit?

 

[Rschmitz]

Meaningless regular season game

Hockey is meaningless
Hockey is Life
Life is Meaningless

 

[Fan from AK]

I have been extremely busy over the past week. I finally got to see the replay against the Canes and tonight's game. Good results and I hope they can continue some inspired play. I will soon be even a more "distant thunder" soon going to work in Antarctica at McMurdo Station in May. I may not get to see any playoff hockey after April 26th. I hope to be able to take some pictures of me there along with my western conference favorite team the Seattle Kraken in my authentic sweaters. I have multiple Lightning sweaters but only one player for the Kraken. One home and one away of Yanni Gourde to go along with a home Gourde sweater of the Bolts. I will always be a Bolts fan first but Seattle has a great color scheme and really great arena. It is a very affordable plane ticket and a nice city to visit with a great system of commuter-friendly options very unlike most of Florida. It costs $6 to get to the game from SeaTac airport and takes maybe 30 minutes. Go Bolts!! and Kraken when they are not playing the Bolts.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Pat Maroon leading the way.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Feels like a lot of guys had their best game of the season tonight. Belly especially looked like he was 10 years younger and of course Maroon.q

I'm also glad we gave Ovechkin zero goals this season.

Just curious as to why would you not be able to watch the playoffs? McMurdo is like a little city. I can't imagine that it doesn't have internet and satellite tv? Probably even Tivo. In any event, good luck down there.
