[Hoek]

First game back from a road trip can often be a dog. Don't let it happen, Bolts! I'll be going to this one.

 

[DFC]

Wonder if Vasy gets this one.

Got a feeling they're motivated to give us a show tonight.

pretty decent write up on todays test liked how they lose captain and others on trade deadline team is kinda quiet overall but just won its last game this team carolina is over 500 somehow so they are no pushover we win we win we win

but this one might be tough they are going to show up with nothing to lose let it all out there we have to match that and surpass it these games and types of teams to me are scary

4-2 bolts

P.S. 8 game win streak and longest in history on line tied for first place and still we are under the radar seriously loving this role just not sure how long this will last lol

like we are not getting respect we probably deserve yet will say a thank you to anaheim and

P.S.S. anaheims win streak has a factor which to me is unattainable seriously impossible to keep up 47 % power play over the 10 game stretch lol tells me 5-5 and our play is more awesome and makes me fear anaheim a lot less than i had before I got those numbers

Perfect timing. House of cards binge ends just in time for puck drop.

Winning is the only option

 

[FDfranklin]

3-2 Loss. Jeff Skinner triple axel breakaway goal for the game winner.

 

[Brie]

Let's keep things up and keep working hard. We have a b2b coming up monday/tuesday against two tough teams so we need to not fall back now.

Some stats as I was browsing through:

TBL: 8th in Goals For
TBL: 5th in Goals Against
TBL: 6th in PK%
TBL: 22nd in PP%
TBL: 8th in Shot Suppression
TBL: 22nd in FO%
TBL: 5th 5v5 CORSI Close

Imagine if we had a top 10 PP ... this team would be damn right dominant.

Keep winning

Over/under on how many times someone mentions Skinner's history with figure skating is 4.5.

I fear that may be our undoing in the playoffs. You don't need a dominant PP, but it also can't suck the wind from your sails.

I also wish our FO% was better because that can also be costly if you can't get the puck back right away but it's not as bad as not having a good PP.

I'm taking the under. It got toned way down in the media since the salad days of his rookie campaign.

 

[DFC]

Boston hosts Washington.

Panthers in Arizona.

We have some of the best PP specialists in the league no reason we cannot have a top 10 PP. We need someone shooting from the points that has been the broken record saying around here. I still feel it's not the players but the execution and coaching.

Our PK has been better because we have guys blocking more shots and attacking the opponents in all 3 zones instead of just standing there trying to stuff up a lane.

Even though I think our PP could be way better. It has gotten better recently. I think overall it looks better than last seasons PP.

 

[Leonardo87]

Come on people lets try and hit over 300 posts tonight! We are in 1st place lets have fun tonight. Woo hoo!

 

[LightningStrikes]
