GDT: 9/7/20 - 8:00PM EDT - #6 New York Islanders vs #2 Tampa Bay [ECF Game 1]

[LordZapp]

Just win. Sweep them.

 

[DaBolts]

The Island people tend to not fare well against the Hedmonster....just sayin'. GO BOLTS!

 

[Brie]

Let's go Lightning, need to start well and attack early.

 

[Discipline]

Going to be an interesting series to say the least.

 

[Peacefool]

Hope he stays focused. A focused kuch is dangerous. A distracted and frustrated kuch is dangerous for us..

I watched obly 2 last play offs Tampa played,its my 3rd. In 2 last Kuch was frustrated and distracted really often but now it were only few times i saw him nervous,and this is big difference,even though he s been hit,guys covers him,and trying to make him angry,he controls himself,and plays hard,i really like what i see now. Yeah i also wish that he could shot more often,he has so magnificent wrister ,he needs to use it a lot,espescially with anti hockey teams

 

[Heddyzeppelin]

Let’s go Bolts! We are the better team, time to show it.

Need a big game 1 from Vasy. Be a wall, get them aiming and not shooting.

Team defense. Don’t let shots through from the point. Keep them to the outside.
Win!!!

 

[Nautica54]

Gotta take care of Beauvillier, the guy shoots a lot and scores a lot. Their 2nd line in particular has been lethal.

As someone who also watches the Isles closely...JGP scares the shit out of me in a series like this. He is playoff money and fits the isles team perfectly.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

I kinda think if will will get stronger as the series goes on. (due to rest) So if we win this game it would be HUGE

 

[Lightning1995]

There could be some rust tonight, not sure what to expect. Want to see a high compete level and even if the Lightning lose, improve as the game goes on like Boston game 1.

OTOH, maybe NYI will be tired from a 7 game series and travel. Will be interesting.

 

[Quickdraw2828]

Big thumbs up on the picture of the vintage hockey game with Bolts players faces.

 

[Antiramie]

Is Schenn really in the lineup tonight? If so, I don't get it.

 

[Felonious Python]

Is Schenn really in the lineup tonight? If so, I don't get it.

That type of thing we don't normally know until the roster sheet comes out right before game time, but he was in last game.

 

[Felonious Python]

We are 2:03 in PP time from finally overtaking CBJ in the overall rankings.

We'd need another period on the PP to overtake Boston.

 

[Major4Boarding]

End this sh... sorry. Force of habit

I mean, please start on time.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Vasi needs to be good. Obvious but true

[VinikToWinIt]

I never like our odds in game 1s after so long off, but the extra time off still bodes well over the course of a series.

 

[LightningStrikes]

Come out flying!

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

That type of thing we don't normally know until the roster sheet comes out right before game time, but he was in last game.

Yep, that’s what I went with.

Coop has played Schenn, Verhaeghe, Stephens, and Coburn at different points throughout the playoffs but he also had Mathieu Joseph take warmups before game 2 and Volkov before game 5 of the Boston series.

 

[DMB06]

If we're going to win this series we need Killorn and Johnson to step up. Right now they contribute basically nothing, especially Johnson. In fact I can't think of a single thing Johnson adds to this team, he doesn't score or contribute to others scoring, he's not physical, he turns the puck over consistently, he's basically just out there giving other guys a breather.

If these two continue to be dead weight we won't win this series.

 

[Fabiobest]

Hi everyone!
We have to play like in game 3 and 4 against Boston. And, of course, we need the best of everyone in the roster.
GO BOLTS!!!

 

[BoltsFanSinceDay1]

Tonight our family is finally together after almost a year. Please Bolts, make it a memorable win!

 

[Multipass]

Let's do this thing! One step at a time. Win the first period and hopefully get an early lead. Make them chase, I don't want to see the Isles sitting on a lead.

 

[Felonious Python]

How we need to be on the puck.

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

Let's go !!

Please don't suck!
