Notes

  • Ughhhh, the Bolts were so close but we just had to make one more mistake in OT after the mistakes that led to goals against in regulation

34 comments
  1. You’re not gonna win them all. We still got a point out of it. I’m not losing sleep over that one, just wasn’t our night. Need to get those two points from Anaheim though.

  2. Not too mad about losing this one, just need to win tomorrow to close out the trip. Cernak has to be better for 5M. The guy plays brain dead. Can’t have him playing AHL caliber when we already have AHL caliber guys we’re trying to shelter.

  3. I’ll take a point with that comeback and during a long road trip, just not focused defensively tonight with 4 bad mistakes leading to goals. Still a very exciting game though.

    Also, I appreciate what the mods here do but might want to add a few that stay up for the late games.

  4. It is what it is, we have played extremly well since the deadline beaten some really good teams. Kings are a good team, at least we got a point that is very important right now. Win tomorrow and its a VERY good road trip. Give Kucherov that assist on the first goal and we can all go to sleep.

  5. Our defense absolutely let us down tonight, 2 preventable back door goals and whatever the fuck that was in OT. I swear to god if Blashill still has a job by this coming offseason, I will have an aneurysm.

  6. Starting Cernak in overtime is one of the worst decisions Coop has made all year. I get it, Hedman played almost the entire EN sequence, but at least put Raddysh out there or something. Cernak immediately blew his check and gave up a breakaway on the first available opportunity.

  7. I’m happy with the outcome overall. It’s not like this was a team we needed to beat, and with the Wings losing tonight we still gained ground. Those Stammer goals to bring us to OT got me so hyped up. I love that man.

  8. I do not take responsibility for this loss. The curse is still getting new upgrades

  9. Played mostly okay overall against a structured team that’s boring as fuck to play. Dmen absolutely directly were at fault on every goal on just absolute shit ass brain dead plays but you would hope Vasy saves 1 of those breaks. Oh well stole a point when our d core sabotaged us all night.

    I know we need forward depth but our defence fucking sucks and maybe we just hope kids can come up to fill the offensive holes and we address the defence. Another year older Hedman and a at times suspect Sergachev being asked to do everything doesn’t seem to me the answer.

    Also Cernak just retire or get traded you’re fucking awful now and cost too much

  10. Wellllll that was a whoopsie. 😆

    Still, happy about the point on the road and super pumped for Stammer. He was determined they were gonna tie it up.

    Stop with the Cernak hate. It was a mistake. It happens!

    Now they just need to smack the ducks tomorrow and it’ll be a VERY successful road trip!

  11. Stamkos stole us a point that we probably shouldn’t have gotten. Disappointing ending but oh well. Just win tomorrow and the road trip is a success. Go Bolts!

  12. man i went to get a drink before overtime started but it was already over, oh well they gave it a fight at the end at least, looking forward to tomorrow

  13. Love the guy but Cernak clearly is not the same player he once was. If we can get him off the books next year we should have no problem bringing in Hanifin.

  14. 7 points in 4 road games so far is hard to be upset about especially with how tough some of our opponents were, a win tomorrow makes this a damn near perfect trip.

  15. Tbh that’s a huge point and we should be happy about that rally. We gained ground tonight. Putting Cernak out in OT is bad, it really pisses me off that we run him out there 3v3 when he has been unplayable the past few games.

    See y’all tomorrow night!

  16. I’m changing my Mind. KEEP PERBIX SCRATCH CERNAK! 2 back to back turnover goals against us. And a complete lack of awareness in that OT. Bench him until we get back to Tampa!

  17. Boys looked like the game plan was “Let’s go out there, pass the puck a lot and see what happens.” What an organized goat fuck that was.

  18. 3 of 4 GA were mistakes that led to odd-man rushes. Guess I should shut up, take the loser point, and run.

  19. Atleast we got a point!! Now let’s go Fuck A Duck!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

  20. Just the epitome of how this game went for us was that OT no puck awareness and no way to excuse that. And from what I hear the ice in LA especially when it’s just put down is horrible so no wonder everything was out of control, thank God we were handed a point.

  21. I can definitely see us being legitimate contenders for multiple cups again, but we have to find a way to shed some of these big contracts that just aren’t paying off. Hopefully JBB can work some magic and ditch our bottom performers or within a few years we’ll be the Pens.

    That being said not a bad loss, we got a point and the Wings didnt.

    LFG Bolts🌩️

  22. That was a lackluster OT, after all they did to tie it we decide to sleep walk 30 secs in and throw it away.

  23. Fun game, though frustrating occasionally. Stole a point on this one. I haven’t watched the Kings often this season, but they were passing very well at times.
