Let's go lightning, close it out tonight hopefully we get a few days of rest.

*please play better than game 5 of colombus series lol*

 

[DrMartinVanNostrand]

I know it won't happen, but we really ought to wear the white sweaters for every game the rest of the way.

Since 2014:

Blue sweaters: 21-20 record
White sweaters: 22-14 record

Specifically, vs. Boston - 3-2 in blue, 4-0 in white.

Finish what you start.

 

[Outl4w]

Finish HIM ( BOSTON). Full throttle, finish every check, backcheck you @**** off, and just like last game force Boston to play our game. If they want to muck it up send out the squad to pummel them. Our time is now and lets dethrone the division champ!

Hi everyone!!
Just play a clean hockey, like in game 3 and in the first 2 periods of game 4.
GO BOLTS!!!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

We blew them out in game 3, and we could have done it again in game 4 with a little help from the goal posts. No reason we can’t get to Halak again tonight.

 

[Felonious Python]

McD on the ice for warmups, along with Volkov. Coburn scratched.

Kuraly and Ritchie not warming up.

I really hope we just destroy them and so this isn't even close. So maybe our stress levels won't be so high.

But then if we're just sitting around, will we be ready for Game 1 of the next round?

There's always something to stress about. Don't worry.

Well less for us and more so for the Team they will get extra rest and if somehow the Flyers can push that series out the team can get extra rest.

Man i hope we go 11-7, why change it at this point and put in volkov????

Schenn and mcdonagh... im good with that.

 

[Multipass]

Stay out of the box! I have to think that they are going to be pressing hard for offense given their lack of scoring lately. Might leave them open for the counter-attack or the Kuch cherry pick. Hopefully Vasi is dialed in. Burst the Boston bubble!!

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

oh shit Ryan McDonagh taking warmups.

 

[DaBolts]

Finish it.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Volkov? I was not expecting to see him warm up.

I have no problem if he gets mixed into the 4th line a bit. Keeps the Teddy Bears guessing.

We don't need to keep them guessing. We've won the past 3 games playing a certain way. I don't deny he has some NHL caliber abilities but I'm not sure I trust him to play the almost perfect 5 on 5 game we've been playing
