[PREGAME] Tampa Bay Lightning vs Carolina Hurricanes – 7:00pm EST – 12/20/25 – The Spot – Dave Randorf Better Not Jinx Us Tonight Edition

I still remember one of his first (maybe his first?) broadcasts where he jinxed a Vasy shutout.
His apology was genuine, he’s a fantastic play-by-play to listen to (second only to Rick Peckham of course), but he’s got two strikes.
LGB ⚡️
I was yelling at the t.v. as he said it.

I’ll drive over there and fight Dave if he jinxes us again.
Zap zap my dudes
It has been 436 days since the last hurricane, Milton, has entered Tampa Bay.
Finely and Peltier called up
I hope they win and stay healthy. Just gotta make the playoffs.
Hey guys. Canes fan back here again, still depressed about last night. It sounds like Jarvis is out with broken ribs for awhile, so no Olympics for him. Slavin was roughed up pretty badly, so people suspect Rod is going to hold him out. I honestly was so upset that I came close to selling my tickets, but then I realized that would be stupid to do. I promise I’m not an annoying fan, but I might be cheering a little louder for my boys last night after what happened. Rod already came out and said that he doesn’t know how our boys are going to respond tonight, because last night took a lot out of them mentally and physically. Not the best vote of confidence hearing that from your coach, so it sounds like tonight is going to be an easy win for you guys. At least you are a bunch of assholes like the Panthers are. I still can’t believe we have to play them again on Tuesday.
Obligatory ‘any updates on Hagel?’ question..
More adventures with an AHL roster
Hopefully we can get back on track and stop the slide, and escape without injury. Let’s go, Bolts! ⚡⚡⚡
Really need a win. Lead in the division is gone, now need to just avoid falling behind
So Cirelli IN, Hagel OUT, Kuch Maybe…
what do lines look like if Kuch is out? High skill guy like Pelts get a crack???
