Let's have some fun here. Who will score the first goal for the Lightning this season?

[DFC]

Tyjo from Palat.

Killer with the first PIM.

Unless of course Luongo vacates the net. That's where JT Brown really shines.

 

[LightningStrikes]

I went with Killer although it wouldn't surprise me to see Brew-Orr skate it coast to coast and put one in.

 

[FinnLightning26]

I voted Palat. He scores 5:43 into the first period on the powerplay.

 

[DFC]

I went with Killer although it wouldn't surprise me to see Brew-Orr skate it coast to coast and put one in.

He does tend to have a coast-to-coast moment at least once in the first week of every season. I guess that uses up all his gas for the year in that rush.

Game 1 last year:

 

[The Macho King]

I'm boring with my vote. Figured it's smarter to play the odds.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I'll go with Kucherov.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Klutch

 

[FDfranklin]

Brewer.

 

[Leonardo87]

MSL?

 

[Coopers Gum]

Stralman. Just because.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Kucherov

 

[chasespace]

Kucherov. Kid is out for blood.

 

[The Gongshow]

MSL?

Get outta here!!

I say Palat gets the first one, with other goals by Stammer, Kuch, Flip

 

[The Macho King]

MSL?

Ban this guy.

 

[Mikeaveli]

Lee.

 

[These Are The Days]

Lecavalier


In all seriousness I'm gonna go a different route and say Victor Hedman blasts one through a screen about 7:13 into the game on the power play even though I REALLY think it'll be Palat getting the first goal about 4:39 in from Ty-Jo and Filppula. I don't care if I'm right but I'm interested to see if I can get an unlikely prediction right.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Fucale

 

[jg39]

Palat...based on no evidence at all.

 

[Steve Yzerman]

Brewer is scratched

 

[These Are The Days]

Palat...based on no evidence at all.

Spock would claim this as solid logic. Well done sir.

 

[Stammer Time*]

Connolly so energized that he's finally in the NHL for good scores at around the 10 minute mark of the NHL. He then slightly cracks a smile.

 

[Callum]

Garrison. Early offensive zone draw with a clean faceoff win back to Garrison who blasts is past Luongo.

 

[Obviously]

Drouin, we get shut out for the next few games until he is back

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

For some reason part of me wants to vote Ekblad.

Namek get credit for it.
