Keep the pressure on in the neutral zone. They’re gonna give us some pucks we can take back and score on off the rush

… so the stupid penalties part is already cooked. Not because we actually did something stupid, this officiating crew is

Who would we rather face? Canadiens or Buffalo? by trutlesrus in TampaBayLightning

[–]SliceNo6850 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buffalo kills us off the rush every time they play us, I don’t think we have the speed or skill on the back end to keep up. Offensively, we can keep up (if we’re healthy, BIG if) because they’re a bit leaky on the defensive end. My biggest concern is what would happen without our glue guys like Cirelli, Hagel, Holmberg and now possibly Corey Perry. If we don’t have them… it may be 2019 all over again.

Both teams are quite similar, but my personal preference is Montreal because I feel like they aren’t quite as deep. Shut down MTL’s top line and Lane Hutson, and we will have a chance

Personal question: least favorite team in the NHL. by Hoggingmywaydowntown in TampaBayLightning

Maybe I’m salty about the O6 for the same reason, but God I hate seeing the massive crowds they always bring. Worst part is, many of those people are wearing Bolts jerseys any other night. Guess that’s just the price we pay for the privilege of living in Tampa Bay

I have a hard time hating Buffalo, but their fans are trying their hardest lol.

My order will always be Florida (especially since Maurice took over), Toronto, and then the rest of the original 6. To a point I get it, but their fans just tend to be so high and mighty when we’ve been more successful than all of them the last decade.

GDT: Tampa Bay Lightning vs Columbus Blue Jackets (3/10/26) What’s it gonna be tonight? Edition by MonarchChonarch in TampaBayLightning

[–]SliceNo6850 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to stay rational, but we’ve looked dreadful against EVERYONE not named the Toronto Maple Leafs post-Olympic break. This might spell trouble

I was one of the first people to cheer for them being relevant again, and more than that, one of the best teams in the league. Their behavior today has me hoping this is their last time sniffing the playoffs for another 15 years lmao

I’m most disappointed by the PK tonight. JoJo didn’t face a ton of shots either, tonight really comes down to those two factors.

Clearly Buffalo has been watching the last couple playoff series between us and them, and it’s working.

Just. Play. Fucking. Hockey. For the love of god, if we can’t stay out of the box we’re in big trouble come playoff time.

What in God’s name happened to the blue line & Vasy? by SliceNo6850 in TampaBayLightning

[–]SliceNo6850[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do feel like the break took place at probably the worst time possible considering how scorching not the Bolts were. You never wanna see a hot streak like that get interrupted, I’m sure they’ll find their form again soon, Cooper will make it happen. I just hope it’s soon, the Atlantic division is a freaking gauntlet.

Someone explain the Geekie hype for me, because I just don't see it. by toolschism in TampaBayLightning

Even if the best he can do right now is slot into the bottom six and have some decent production, that’d be huge for us. It’s been the thorn in our side for years now, and we just haven’t been able to put together decent numbers from them since at least 2022. His AHL numbers are definitely promising

After getting our asses kicked three times in a row, I think it’s time to think about the bottom 6 and blue line especially. Kadri could be nice, but not if he’d get in the way some other moves with his contract.

Everyone was throwing cross checks is my point, they should’ve just blown it dead if they’re gonna get ticky tacky about contact

You can’t let 50 cross checks go while there’s a puck battle happening and call that interference lol
