I have no idea which team will show up today but I hope it's the good one. Go Bolts !

 

[JackRabbitSlim]

Let's go boys! Let the emotional roller coaster begin. I'm sure I'll be killing some beers later, let's hope I don't suffer from liver failure from mass consumption while watching this game tonight

 

[Volodya Krutov]

No guts, no glory

 

[JackRabbitSlim]

Who would of thought that this point in the series that Zetterberg and Stamkos would be PIM leaders

 

[Boltsppy]

Stammer we need you !!!

 

[LightningStrikes]

Go !!!!!!

 

[DFC]

Stamkos breaks out this game. Redeems himself and all is well in Lightning land, except for the fact, of course, that we lose 9-3. Stammer with the hat trick though. Happy days.

 

[Stormbreaker]

Let's go Lightning!!!!

 

[LightningStrikes]

Would be nice to have at least one of 24, 86 and 91 score a goal tonight.

I couldn't watch game 2 because I was at work. Today I'll miss most of it for work too. Let's hope the result is the same. LETS GO.

 

[JS91]

Stamkos must be feeling all the pressure in the world in this game. He's gotten outplayed by Johnson in pretty much every game so far and now we're back at home playing on front of his biggest fans who expect him to perform. It's also about time for our best player to play like it.
Will be a very exciting game for sure. After last game's comeback I'll make sure not to look away even for a second if we're down a goal or two.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

I predict a big game from Stamkos and he will finally lead us to Victory, which will be Nice.

 

[MrClutch86]

Lets go Stamkos

 

[FinnLightning26]

Well, well, well... If we manage to win tonight I like our chances of advancing. Hoping for big games by all the big guns who haven't scored in this series.

Where did I go wrong.......................................

Where did I go wrong.......................................

You went wrong when you didn't veto her relationship with a Red Wings fan

Anyone else missing the GDT graphics at the top?

 

[Hoek]

Yeah. I guess Days didn't make the thread? But the one in the main board has them.

Five observations for tonight

1. Speed kills. You have to keep moving your feet. When they are obstructing in the neutral zone and at the blue line if you move your feet it will draw attention to it. Detroit can't skate with us for the full 60 minutes.

2. Power play. Enough with the 4 forwards, it's not working. Just play our normal 1st and 2nd lines then put your best offensive D pairings out there with them.

3. Stamkos. Steven give up the puck. Hanging on to the puck in the o-zone while skating around looking for a shot will get you nowhere. Pass the puck to a teammate (not the drop pass) and then skate hard until you find open ice. When you have a shot, take it. Keep it simple, you have skills.

4. Net presence. Stop crowding the blue paint. Detroits d-men are just taking you out of the play. Set up near the hash marks and draw those defensemen out to you. Rebounds will be available and interference is more likely to be called when you are not right in front of the net.

5. Shooting. I see a pattern...Stick side high.

 

[JFleegs]

Great observations cdnbolt. Yea that stickside high seems to be a weakness.

They were there earlier. Not sure why they disappeared.

 

[These Are The Days]

Tickets are out of my range but still wanna be part of the action. Are there any game parties/watch parties at Channelside tonight?
