I honestly just don’t know if I have it in me for this bullshit tonight…lol
Not very optimistic about this game with Halverson in net and our lack of scoring. Hopefully I’m surprised.
Let’s go, Bolts! ⚡⚡
I have adjusted my expectations. I would like to see us: winning more faceoffs, getting to middle ice, defense continuing to play well with Halverson in goal, Bjork sitting, and perhaps (gasp!) a goal!
The Lightning and Bucs are sucking all of the joy out of December 😔
Hopefully they turn it around tonight.
Hopefully they turn it around tonight. Go Bolts!
*sighs*
unfortunately the rays are in the offseason and the bucs suck so i have to put my faith into a team 70 miles from me
go magic
I have forgotten what it feels like to see the puck go in the net
All we need is that 1 goal to ignite the engine.
Pucks on net, get those garbage rebounds, no stupid shit.
Game starts at ~7pm, hopefully the boys are ready to go.
Standings are tight, let’s not piss away all the leg work we just put in!
LFG BOLTS!
It doesn’t matter who starts in net if you can’t even get one goal. Against one of the more porous defences/goaltending tandems in the League, surely we can score, and even win?
LGB! We just need one goal to get us going again…🤞
[insert something here superstitious that ends up putting us on another 7 game win streak]
Kinda ridiculous as we have lost four straight but I wouldn’t really change anything in our game. Scoring is the only thing missing otherwise we’re playing well. Trust the process etc.
Although I would like to see Pointer getting his game back. Been rough few months for him.
