Despite what I said earlier about wanting the game to go to overtime and then the Bolts winning, considering being on the second half of a back to back, teams in that situation tend to run out of gas late in the game due to the fatigue. The best bet for a win is to score early and often, then protect the lead late.

A friend of mine likes to call the second game of a back to back a "Scheduled Loss"....and he isn't wrong, but, I think the Lightning are still young enough as a team to have enough energy to continue strong all the way through.

They do use all their lines, so that helps...not like they are overusing any one particular line.
JoJo in net is the biggest concern. Coming off injury, not having played in a while....and not particularly good when he HAS been in there.

If you are Columbus, you want to make life miserable for him by peppering him with shots.
Bolts job as a defense is to not do stupid things to allow odd man rushes like they did against Florida.

Strobe lighting should be illegal. I believe it can cause people with epilelpsy to have an epeleptic fit.

 

[PanniniClaus]

An odiferous emanation in the Bolts crease.

 

[Rubi]

Insane game in Philly. Players are scoring at will. 4-2 in the first.

That explains how refuse like Columbus is still in the game.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Yep....the JoJo presence is strong in net...

 

[Lunatik]

This Flames/Flyers game is nuts. First 4 goals in 134 seconds, now 2 more in 19 seconds.

 

[Summer Rose]

Yep....the JoJo presence is strong in net...

Pretty bad goal for him to give up.

I figured Vladar would be in net for Calgary with 2 goals given up.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

TB, if they are to win this, may very well have to go something like 6-5 or 7-6...

Sure...if they want to give up MORE goals...

Flames: score 4 goals in the 1st period

Bruins: get 5 shots in the 1st period

In the fight between the captains, Lowry gets the decision over Lee.

Still 0-0 between the Jets and the Islanders.

Those are two very large human beings there....

 

[BB79]

Jordan OstrichEgg scores for us bums, 2-2

 

[JeffP]

Wyatt Johnston is going to be so expensive. Cave to 8x10 Jim, get it done sooner than later.

 

[spiny norman]

Islanders get a PP and Palmieri scores, now 1-0 over the Jets.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Jets going to choke against a mediocre Islanders team?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Elvis had a bit of swag with the flashing glove saves, even after going down 0-2..... Bolts now have a 4-1 edge.....I don't think he will be bling-blinging too much now...

 

[RedRocking]

Sheldon Keefe looking like a man w no answers

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...is ANYONE watching the SJ - Buffalo game??...

 

[BB79]

And of course Stamkos scores. 3-2 Preds

...is ANYONE watching the SJ - Buffalo game??...

The player's families...maybe?

I agree . I meant that I assumed Vladar was the starter when I saw they had already given up 2 goals. Wolf is the better goaltender.

 

[RedRocking]

...is ANYONE watching the SJ - Buffalo game??...

I am!

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

...is ANYONE watching the SJ - Buffalo game??...

If I weren't watching Bolts-Jackets, I would be.
Those are some young fast teams....and despite Buffalo's ineptitude, there IS some good talent there worth watching!

...is ANYONE watching the SJ - Buffalo game??...

The players aren't even watching when they're on the bench
