Take Atkinson off the 1st line and give them Hagel

Paul. I don't really want Geekie split from Hags and Cirelli

100%. BDN is perfect for Kuch and Point. Takes and delivers the hits and has the puck smarts.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Put Geekie on the top line.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Great stop by JoJo...two of the more dangerous Habs players on that odd man rush too!

Hopefully, the Bolts defense doesn't make that a habit this game. I don't wanna see JoJo continually tested THAT way!

 

[These Are The Days]

Put Geekie on the top line.

Yeah maybe. He needs to eat soon

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Put Geekie on the top line.

I was thinking the same, but there is something to be said for not screwing around with the Hagel-Cirelli-Geekie line.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

I can't watch Josh Anderson play without hearing Maroon trolling him from the finals in my head.

THE SAME AMOUNT OF POINTS AS ME!

 

[DaBolts]

Fire JJ

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

played right into the rope a dope

 

[Brie]

Ugh, don't need that. Let's get it back.

 

[ccman68]

some of the worst defense you will see

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Too much effing zone time given to the Canadiens.
Again...basic zone clears. Bolts still struggling with that.

That needs to shape up, and shape up fast if the Lightning are to be considered a serious Cup contender.

 

[These Are The Days]

We really need to stop playing with our food and just shoot

 

[DaBolts]

I can see how this is going to go...

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bolts are getting plenty of chances off the rush. Just need to hit the net more

 

[Brie]

Good to see Paul with Kuch and Point.

 

[DarrylshutzSydor]

Garbage

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

There we go.
Kuch doesn't even have to get an actual scoring chance...just going towards the net while stickhandling is enough to scare the other team into a penalty.

Let's go PP!

 

[ccman68]

putting chaffee on the pp so he can turn the puck over every time he touches it is just genius

 

[DaBolts]

Holy crap, I didn't know Savard was still playing. He has to be thrilled to play back to back games in Florida and get to use his senior discount at Golden Corral again.

 

[creg]

chaffee looked completely lost on that pp

 

[Maelmoor]

We had our chances for sure, need to continue and just tighten it up defensively a bit.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Not a good shift for Chaffee with the first unit

 

[JFleegs]

Not a good shift for Chaffee with the first unit

Yeah he looked out of place
