RECHARGE | COLLECTIVE EFFORT

And obviously we got to hit the road and continue to build on this. Yeah, it’s four, but doesn’t stop here. It’s just one day at a time and go be some road warriors. Gurgensson’s cuts across it in the middle, leads it for Gourd. Gourd to Lillberg to Gourd. What a goal. The Lightning tie the game on a tap in. And the Lightning get this game across the finish line to earn win number five in a row. And they start the road trip on a very good note. [Music] Well, Lightning gave a valiant effort against a very good Colorado team. The two goal deficit though proved to be too much to overcome. But their fivegame winning streak comes to an end. Easy circle. Shoot. Save. Rebound. Lose in front. Dominic Games his first goal. Can’t contain it. Knocked back towards the net. Bad scores. It’s Brandon Hang as he battles to find that puck and backs it home. What a win for the Lightning after maybe one of their worst periods of the season in the first period. I think the guys in the dressing room could tell what was going on out there. Kind of accountability by your players. That was as worse as it could get, so it could only get better. And the guys answered [Music] Back into the corner. Back it in front. Scores. Emil Lover. He joins the play. He one times it in the block. Scores. The Lightning take the lead and a shot that is tipped by Jay Gel. Here comes James up the middle. Tishes off. Eagle scores. Brandon Hegel stay hot 32 Lightning. But Brandon Hegel continues his hot streak. This is a great shot. Oh, there’s a lot of stick stuff going on. There we go. There we go. And oh boy, in the deep end here, Chick is getting absolutely wailed on by Turn. Lady win the game though. They improved to seven and one in their last eight. [Music] Keeping the good vibes rolling is the annual Coops Catch for Kids. To kick off the event, John Cooper hosts the angller party filled with plenty of special guests. So for all of us that can do it, for all of us that have the ability to do it, just again think think of those that were helping because for me, Tony Bolton, my rockstar, the inspiration of having everyone here and and and it’s not just cancer.

Yeah, I’ll I’ll throw in the water, not on the boat. Oh, did you feel a little It’s sad where the most exciting moment is getting a good cast. Uh the mocking I get for once again not catching any fish in my own tournament. Um I’ve been pretty decent at eating those now. Good thing you can coach cuz you suck at suck at fishing. Ultimately, Coach Cooper should not be catching fish at his uh tournament. I’m totally okay with that. And I would trade them all in for all the kids to catch them all. And that’s what happened. Got one. Did she get one, Ramy? How big was it? Show Coop how big it was. Oh, we can’t we can’t we can’t be out there. Come on in, buddy.

Seeing the kids and and enjoying the day with them and seeing them with a smile on their face, you know, it was always one of the best days of the year. Oh, was that a trout? [Music] It was a lot of fun. Uh Coupe always has a great amount of people come out uh seeing the kids. Something we look forward to doing every year. It’s It’s nice to get out on the water and at least try to c catch some and, you know, get away from the rink a little bit. [Music] It really, it makes you proud understanding, you know, where this money is going to, who it’s benefiting, and how the entire community’s embraced it.

And that’s why we’re here for the mere fact that last night, just alone last night, uh we raised over $400,000 and that’s a tribute to all of you. [Applause] Thank you so much. And uh to the players, I know it’s a off day and it’s time out of your schedule, but boys, love you guys. Thanks so much for coming. Um but anyway, we have one last award.

One lady fish, Charles Barkley. 16 or 18 minutes to reel it in, but any worse I just want to thank the you other guys aren’t losers. I’m just proud of this. You know, this started out as a joke cuz we didn’t catch but I caught that little girl fish. I would be great if we gave a something out. I don’t even know where they got this from, but the person caught the smallest fish. But you know what? This will hold a sacred place in my heart. I promise you, forever. That’s awesome. Everybody have a great day. Thanks very much. Following a heartwarming day of Coup’s catch. It’s back to hockey in Tampa Bay. [Applause] But the Lightning get caught flatfooted and fall to the New York Rangers by a score of 7-3. At the end of the day, you lost and uh we got to turn the page and focus on tomorrow. Their next matchup, the in-state rival Florida Panthers. They play right down the street from the same state. We went to three straight cup finals, then they went to three finals. We’ve knocked them out of the playoffs. They’ve knocked us out of the playoffs. And we play them the most anybody else. Sounds like a rivalry to me. Okay. Hey, baby. With a severely depleted Bolts roster due to the injury bug, Yanni Gourd and the boys are looking to rally together for two points in Sunrise. And we go tonight in the fight.

Yanni and the PK unit hold on tight to kill the double minor penalty. What’s fun? As the minutes are ticking down until victory, the defense needs to stay perfect and out of trouble.

Last night, baby. Way to go. Way to go. You guys wait. Well, first you’re going to score your first night. You better make it a game later. When you start to believe and understand the recipe, there’ll be no limit to what this team can do. But there’s a recipe. Sometimes it sucks. It’s hard. But you got to believe because that’s what wins. That was one price admission and I don’t know something special with this group boys to even be and uh the commitment to each other. I’m telling you it’s going to go down. That was impressive. 4m minutee kill. [Music] There we go boys. Hey, good start. Here we go. Oh, [Music] so the Lightning really should be up by two or three goals in this game. We’ll get it back. Stay with him. Stay with him. And the Conucks are two for three in the power play. It has kept them in the game. The Conucks scored six unanswered and hand the Bolts a disappointing 62 loss. That won’t stop Zimitz and his family from their weekly family tradition of sweet treats and quality time at Dairy Joy. [Music] Hi, how are you? Um, can we do two kids twist? One with Fruity Pebbles and one with two with Fruity Pebbles. Can I get anything else? Yes. Medium twist, please. Do you want that one in the cup or cup? We come here every Friday after the kids school. Well, this is a I don’t get to go every Friday, but me and the kids. So, the kids change their toppings every week. It’s Yeah, I’m a simple guy. I get the twist. Lucas, usually the large I thought on the camera look it would look a little aggressive. Their large is big. What’s your favorite topping? No, actually marshmallows. Oh, you did marshmallows. I think Callie did marshmallows, too. Yeah, they switch it up every time. Then then I did the the um the jelly beans. Mhm. What else you like? Jelly beans. The candy corn was not a hit. It’s a little challenging with three kids who go places, but armature works good. Yeah. Any anywhere where there’s space where the kids can warf decent amount. Sparkman warf. Yeah. Where you guys can uh run around and play. You don’t have to uh you guys can do whatever. Hey, hey, hey. No wrestling. Lucas, why don’t you uh you learn how to spell your last name? [Music] Nice. Out of nowhere today, he just like fully spelled out the last name. We’re like, what? So, Lucas is our reliability. He uh he gets hurt a lot. He’s been in ER four times. He’s had three stitches already. Like fought. You like father like son. That’s definitely true. Come make Tinderly laugh. Can I jump off your shoulders? No. How old are you, Huds? She’s three and I’m four. And how old is your Uh 4 months. 4 months. Is she 4 months? Yeah, I guess she’s almost 5 months. It was definitely a way easier transition this summer. Um we’re we came early probably earlier than usual and it is a little hot in September. That’s that definitely had time with the family is always cherished for any player. But for Zimis returning from injury at the start of his 12th NHL season brought a new perspective as to why he plays. I mean, anytime you miss uh miss a time with uh the team is tough and uh especially with me being with the head injury being out, it was uh definitely tough and um you just kind of miss the time with the guys and then that time you’re away, you kind of understand how much the game means to you. So, I was happy to get back pretty decent quickly. Yeah, you can’t watching. Yeah, anytime that happens, it’s tough. But um yeah, Lucas, I’m watching. Okay, nice. Nice. It was cool coming back and scoring and uh yeah, that emotion just kind of explodes on you and uh it’s a good feeling. The kids like when I score. Doesn’t happen too often, but they get happy, right, Had? A bee keep coming by me. A bee keeps coming by you. We’ll shoot it away. Is it a B or a fly? A B. A B. It’s okay. Yeah, the life is definitely different. I mean, the seasons kind of in the hockey career change the you’re in gaps. What’s what’s kind of important and the whole reason actually why why do you do what you do, you know, it changes and uh it’s definitely for me now it’s I play the game purely to win. Um, it’s all I want to do is to win. And having the family, three kids, it’s kind of you play for them because they they do love seeing me out there. So, anytime I play, I kind of play my heart out for them, too. [Music] Winning a shared mindset for the Tampa Bay Lightning as they’ll look to do exactly that on home ice tonight. [Music] Mercer across the center point. Pass went behind team meer and back. Gel may be right away. Jens it alone. Score. Jensel trying to catch up by heavily there in front of coach. Scander. [Music] Center point. Radish also strain. Center point. Radish. Radish holds. Centers it. Gensel score a pass shot from Radish to Gensel. Jake Genszel has two goals tonight. The Lightning do score the power play and go up three nothing with 922 left in the second. When you have that group feel and doesn’t matter who comes in and we just kind of play the same way. You know, good things will happen. Give them a ton of credit cuz everyone that’s come in has contributed in a way to to help the team win. Looking for the tip from Ginsel. Good job again. scores Jake Gel and bring out the hats. It’s a hat-tick and it’s 51. [Music] The lady beat the Devils by a final of 5 to one. They’re back at 500 on home ice with one game left in the home stand. Edmonton comes in on Thursday. Another two points for the Lightning, but done so without some of the team’s longest tenured veterans as the injury bug continues to hit the bolts hard for the first time in quite some time. Not really. I mean, it’s it’s been quite a while. There were some years where, you know, you run through some stretches where you you have a a group of injuries together. Probably the closest thing was unfortunately in the playoffs last year, the first round, game one, we had a few guys go down, but uh the last few weeks here have definitely been been a challenge and you never know what’s going to happen. Each day is a new challenge and uh we’ve had a group of of injuries happen here recently. So obviously it’s a little more work for us. You know, that’s probably the toughest part, you know, especially when you’re the captain. You’re not in there, you know, before the game and you know, during the game, but uh you know, just try to be around as much as I can. A lot of times they don’t feel a part of the team. you know, if they’re removed, they they want to all want to contribute. These guys are pros. They want to make a contribution on the ice. And so for them, you just try to make them feel a part of the team. You know, it goes to show what I’ve always uh, you know, kind of pushed down since I took over as captain. It’s going to be a collective effort and guys have stepped up in that regard, too, and and done a great job. That mental part of the of the rehab is just as important, if not more than the physical. Molly and you know Mikey, Poppy, Mark, Lucas, uh you know, our intern Kate has done a great job. Everybody chips in. Everybody has a role and fortunately for us, our group’s been together so long that we kind of read off each other. Everybody knows what needs to be accomplished. They’re so good at what they do and they always try and come up with the best possible plan to make you, you know, come back to the ice as quick as you can, but in a safe way. So, all the credit goes to those guys. You know, they work the really, really long hours. You know, they’re the first ones here and the last ones to leave. Those guys are instrumental in in uh you know getting us back on the ice. Our contribution is to keep guys on the ice or to rehab guys and get them back playing and and that’s how we can contribute to an outcome and everyone on our staff takes, you know, takes pride in that. And uh anything that we can do to help our team succeed, that’s that’s what we’re going to do. No, I’m super proud of the guys that uh have really stepped up and then is leading this team on the ice. One of the things that we see firsthand is the guys that are injured and have been out, just the support that they give to the players that are in the lineup. Right now, we’ve got several veterans out and just the way they’ve supported our younger players and welcome them in and they’re a huge part of it and every person that puts in that jersey is is is responsible and and takes pride in it and whether you’re injured or you’re on the ice, you do have an effect in the outcome. So, uh that’s been great to see. While Mulligan and his team continue to work towards getting these vets back on the ice, another one is thankfully inching closer to making his season debut. It sucks. You just never know with surgery. I was in a cast, full cast for 6 weeks there and just not knowing what’s going on and them reassuring me and making sure my mind’s in the right spot. You know, it was uh pretty painful. So, part of your brain kind of goes to the bad side of like, is this even going to work? Am I going to be able to be the same player? Can I shoot the save? You want to try to treat it conservatively and try to avoid surgery if you can. We did that at the end of the year through the summer and he was doing really well and just before the season started and the injury kind of crept back in. Obviously, it’s tough timing. You look back and you say, “Well, why didn’t this happen during the summer? Why didn’t we, you know, maybe treat it surgically?” But you don’t you can’t approach it that way. It was kind of one of those injuries where it’s like didn’t feel one good the day before and then I had a day off and I came to the rank and I was like, “All right, now I can shoot at 60% instead of 20%.” And so that’s when the the mental kind of got back into it and being like, “All right, this is this is working.” He had surgery on his wrist. So you can work his legs, you can get him in the pool, you can, you know, do different things that to continue to challenge him and little milestones along the way. That’s what you have to celebrate with any with any rehab at any player. You want to celebrate those milestones and give him little challenges. Maybe it’s, you know, one day he comes in and he’s has less pain and then another time it’s he’s able to, you know, shoot a little stronger. you say, “Hey, I was shooting at 50% today and uh you know, tomorrow I’m going to try to get up to 60 70%.” You know, working with me, doing lasers, doing uh exercises, massages, you name it. We did everything to the wrist and just keeping that positive mind. And, you know, even when I got back on the ice, my wrist didn’t feel good at all. So, uh I was kind of worried and they were just kind of in my corner and and and backing me up and just kind of reassuring me that things are going to get better and uh it eventually did. And now my I feel great. The Lightning getting some really good news today. Nick Paul activated off of long-term IR. He’s been added to the roster. He will be in the lineup tonight. Here we go. Blue. Good pressure. Good pressure. That’s it, boys. Good to see you back in action. I was just thinking of not doing anything special. just working hard and being effective. Little feed blocked by Deter with the stick. Fed it to the slot. Shot. Score. Trent Frederick. They got a goal. Now we push. That’s our push. Now we go. Great look. Great look. Keep it going. [Applause] That’s it. That’s it. Keep building. Build the next shift. Feeling what it’s like to play hockey again was nice. First shift there, I was on the bench and I was like, man, this is a fast game. I don’t know what uh if uh I’m ready for this, but you know, hopping on the first shift and just getting into the game, it was great to be back. We keep going. We keep going. [Applause] I got to cut in more. So predictable there. It’s coming, boys. Who’s got it? Let’s take one. Five miles, boys. Here. Love the moment here. Pressure is a privilege. 238 left. Pauling forward circle. Big ball. Big ball. It is returned. He scores the tying goal. You know, Nick’s first game back. He scores a tying goal late in the game. And I’m not going to lie, the medical staff looks at each other and kind of a little wink and like, “Yeah, all right.” You know, you feel good about it. And uh you contributed to him getting in there and you see how happy he was and his teammates and it’s a joint effort. It’s really everybody that’s involved. There’s nurse across the step circle. Nurse shoot rebound loose in front. What a save. Open net. Good job. The other way. Right side. Radish with Gel. Across. Radish for Gel. Get the wizard. Oh, that’s Oh my god. [Music] It’s a big cat. Celesteel for the Lightning. I know Gretz not the winner, but Celeste. Oh, wow. That’s the first time everyone anyone’s gone to the goalie, you know, after an overtime win and obviously goes to show how big that save was for us and obviously we needed that at that moment and then, you know, gets with the winner. So, it’s nice to get the win. One thing, you know, Bass, he’s never out of a play. So, that’s a real big cat move right there. And then the guys really executed a beautiful play up the ice and uh a cool moment and um you know one of those sequences you’ll you’ll see a lot on the highlight reel that’s for sure. The energy in the building was nuts like it was just a constant cheer and then the replay would go and the cheer would get louder and then all of a sudden they would just feed off each other and it got even louder in there. Hey go. Yeah, it’s definitely different being out there and feeling energy than under the squat rack with the TV on. Good job, man. That was a sick goal, dude. Thanks, brother. Since last year, we had the lowest amount of comeback wins in third year at four. All right. If we’re going to keep going anywhere, we need that. These are games when you’re not out of it. It’s just one. We don’t know when you’re getting it. Paulie gets it with two and a half to go and then uh big cat comes up big and then gets it was uh but that’s how it works boys. It’s 60 man and he stuck with it so it was uh was good. On top of that Paulie Yeah. How many 100?

Jordan, nice to meet you. You as well. Thanks for coming out. Thanks for having me out. You kidding me? What’s up, guys? I’m Gage. You guys excited to play today or what? Are you a lightning player?

You got to get in the play. Those Spider-Man slots. Those are sick. Is he your favorite superhero? Mine, too. I like him. [Music] Oh. Oh, [Applause] what a shot, dude. Nice one-time goal. Nice shot. It’s kind of like a little mental reset and you uh you kind of remember why you why you fell in love with the game a little bit, you know, being out there with those kids. I know when I was growing up to have, you know, one of the Vancouver Conucks or whoever it was come out to a practice or sign something, I thought it was the the coolest thing in the world. And I, you know, it kind of puts the whole thing into perspective and just makes uh makes you think about why you kind of fell in love with the game and and why it’s so much fun to play and why we play it. The game’s just grown so much more than what it was. Oh, yeah. We’re in the play program. Yeah. It’s like 300 bucks to get all their equipment and eight sessions with uh the alumni that are here. Oh my gosh. So, we’re adding Heads up here. We’re adding about 7 800 kids a year. Oh my god. Just through that program. That’s My parents would have killed for a program like that growing up. It was all just hand-me-down gear from older cousins. Like whatever we can sniff. Thank you. No problem. Come on, come over here. A moment of gratitude and perspective for the young Ford giving back to kids just like him. With a quarter of the season already behind them, there’s no doubt the Lightning have faced adversity. But while key players from the lineup have missed time, this team has certainly not missed a step as their collective effort both on and off the ice has only further helped them move closer towards finding their identity. It’s easy to say now, you know, the next man up top mentality and, you know, a collective effort, but, you know, the identity of this team is team over self and really just goes to show that when everyone buys into that, we’re a really tough team to beat. We know the way that we want to play and and how we have to play in order to to win games and be competitive and get to our goal of obviously making the playoffs and and trying to win us down the cup. Big thing for us is just using our speed, always getting the the legs moving, moving pucks north, starting in the defensive zone, just hard. We shut down plays, giving them no time and space. What I have found is we can kind of play it any way and they’re very adaptable team. It was personal sacrifices and that and if we need to play the highscoring game, we have and when we’ve needed to lock it down, we have. It’s been a really adaptable group and I just like the way the trains rolling. No, it was great. Um, you know, the night before, you know, uh, just being really interrupted. I’m here. We literally asked the first question. You You’re going to get in trouble. They’re getting all this on camera. You’re not supposed to be jumping off those. Come on. We need a We need blue to win today. Hold it in. That’s okay. Right into the camera, man. Guys, you guys got to be aware out here. Yeah, I’m breathing. What? Really longwinded. We taking a break.
