GDT: 2/6/25 - 7:00PM EDT - Ottawa vs Tampa Bay

[JTBF81]

Big wins! 4 points to 0 against them is fantastic! Now another b2b coming before the break.

 

[Powerplay17]

Fantastic win. Solid effort all around.

 

[Renopucker]

I have a full bottle of Wild Turkey 101 at the ready.

The 101 is down to 20.5 but we’re happy guys eh? F in A.

Beautiful game by the Bolts. Had some trouble in the 1st half of the 2nd period, otherwise they did a good job controlling the game. Another low scoring game (for most of it) but they eliminated most things for Ottawa and cut down on any inflicted mistakes. Great game for Vasy, great game for Hagel, Pointer hopefully breaks out of his slump with that big goal

 

[bov]

Thought Ottawa would be more of a problem but nice to get 4 points with a roster that is definitely battling through some stuff.

 

[Rschmitz]

This gets Vasy to .920 save percentage, third in the league amongst starters.

If we get this Vasy for the rest of the season and into the playoffs we are in really really good shape.

 

[Renopucker]

Funny. Remember those oily Senators? Lame. Oil got cooked tonight, and tachook got dusted, twice. Bwaaa.

 

[RDTBay4]

2 assists for Vasi?

 

[Soul Assumption]

1-0 since Sheary was recalled

 

[creg]

wait i'm confused? i was told that these were two guaranteed losses and that we'd miss the playoffs and sell at the deadline? did the team not know?

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Bolts play in Detroit Saturday afternoon. It's a tight race right now

1. Panthers - 67 points
2. Maple Leafs - 66 points
3. Lightning - 62 points

4. Senators - 62 points
5. Red Wings - 61 points
6. Bruins - 60 points

 

[RDTBay4]

Ottawa did their goalie dirty on the last goal. What the f*** were they even doing?

 

[DFC]

They are constantly disappointing us.

 

[Renopucker]

Wings fans seem to think 86 might face some payback for the slick-slew last game. Being a former Detroiter, I warned them that it’s probably not a good idea to run 86. Kinda like VL: you do that at your peril. They didn’t see Kuch get sticked back in the corner, preceding the trip. I think the RW bench and players know way better than to do something really stupid.

The whole division is fairly close, with basically only 3 games separating 1st from 6th.

Don’t worry, there’s still time

Could be, but Lilleberg seems even more likely to face a challenge at some point. Compher still hasn't returned from that hit. Personally, I'd like to see a little bit of animosity between division rivals, and if I were a Detroit fan I would really disappointed if there was no response at all.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Massive pair of wins, those.

Isn't Detroit a soft team? Do they even have a player who can challenge Lilleberg?

They are very soft but Lilleberg isn't some intimidating fighter. My money would be on Chiarot, maybe Rasmussen.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Well, we now have at least two wins that I wanted from this week but now I want more. Lets go 4 for 4!

I like that Guentzel got split up from the top line. Point and Kuch can carry someone and Goncalves didn't look half bad with them.
