This is the time to wake up, play a complete game and put it away.

 

[Maelmoor]

This is a game of great importance, will they bounce back and close the series or will hand over the momentum to the Habs?

Toight they have to play at their best to win, I really want to see a good first period as a change and then take charge of the game.

Go Bolts!

 

[dechire]

There is absolutely no reason to dress Carle instead of Nesterov so of course Nesterov will be sitting again

 

[Kramerica Industries]

So apparently this game, in some kind, seeped into my mind while I was asleep last night, and...well, I'm writing this comment at 6:20 AM, and it's a g-ddamn Saturday, so whatever the case may be, it wasn't fun.

End this tonight. 3-0 turning to 3-2 would break me into hives real quickly. I've been through this kind of ordeal once before, and once is the most any sports fan should ever have to deal with a 3-0 lead being blown.

 

[snowden]

I'm just not feeling it. Don't think we have this one.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

 

[CommunistDayKare]

Play 60 and we got it

 

[JS91]

Will be a tough one. If we drop this they're right back in it and could very well take the next 2 too. If the right guys show up we got this though. Hopefully Bishop really put that last game behind him and has his head straight again.

 

[LightningStrikeAgain]

Just like game 6 and 7 last series we will show heart tonight and come out flying and close this out!

 

[dbieon12]

If we lose today you'd have to argue that with momentum on the Habs side it will be a even feeling game 6 and certainly Montreal favored game 7...

Just finish it tonight.

Play 60 and we got it

They have been better in 5v5 all series.

 

[Iceman]

I want the final series result to be as lopsided as possible for this series.

BUT JUST WIN, CLOSE IT OUT!


...WAIT WHAT? DROUIN IN? ON THE FIRST LINE? OMG, FINALLY.

..or hmm.. Game Time scratch incoming?

 

[Legionnaire11]

Called a blowout in game 4... And I'm not feeling confident tonight either. The Bolts can win for sure, I'm just not sure what will happen. Every time you think a team will come out flat, they come out with jump. Every time you think they should have some jump, they come out flat.

Clearly Bishop is a key, but there is so much more. The team needs to be better in all areas of the game, and even then they will need a bit of luck.

I can't wait to see how this one plays out!

 

[LightningStrikes]

Oh I see now what the plan was: Get their hopes up and destroy their dreams in their arena. Shoulda told us first but okay, let's do it.

Go !!!!!!

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Are these lines real or speculation?

 

[chasespace]

Time to twist the knife

 

[LightningStrikes]

Are these lines real or speculation?

You can expect the final lines about an hour before the game starts.

 

[gg720]

If these guys come out tonight playing like they did the last 2 games, Stamkos (captain?) needs to call a player timeout and read them the riot act. Or Cooper better do it instead of waiting until they have a big lead and have a huge uphill battle to overcome. This team needs to start playing consistent playoff hockey from here on in and not wait for the other guy to start it. Please Cooper, play your best guys (Drouin and Nesterov) instead of not hurting players feelings (Carle and Morrow)!!!! Lets get it done tonight.

Got a feeling he'll be scratched even though he was one of few guys who looked good in that car crash we watched two night ago.

Drouin and Barberio among last on ice at skate. Could be scratched tonight. http://live.tampabay.com/Event/Live_blog_Lightning_vs_Canadiens_in_NHL_playoffs/163071778 …

Sometimes I think Cooper is blind.

 

[Cigar City]

I thought I saw something that said Coop wants more offense.


The only reasonable thing to do to accomplish this is scratch Drouin and Nesty.

 

[Brie]

I can't build up any excitement for this game because I don't want to be disappointed again, however the team should feel free to surprise me and make me eat my feelings.

 

[Brie]

*sigh* Cooper, Cooper, Cooper...

 

[Leonardo87]

I feel the same way to be honest. Not sure which team will show up tonight.

*sigh* wish that was the actual top line.

 

[The Gongshow]

Alright Tampa, lets end it



Bring it!
