If we played 100%, without injuries left and right since the Olympic break I wouldn’t be as nervous. If I knew for sure who was limping into the playoffs with us I would also not be as nervous. If the last 3 first rounds hadn’t gone like they did… yeah wouldn’t be as nervous.

I digress.

This is Lightnings series to lose, habs are young and talented but they are just not there yet. Not enough goalie talent and experience. We’ve got defense this season, we will let in a goal or two a game we just need to get 3-4 goals. I’m ready for point to breakout and Hagel to lose his mind. Raddyish to throw slappers at this 24 year old goalie and Guentzel or Perry to cleanup on isle game 1 at home.

Our PK is beautiful, love that because we are going to come out swinging with their goon being a real prick coming at kuch, we have to go at lane hutson. Sorry, kid looks like your chess club champion but is a defensive menace. Rattle him if they go after kuch.

I’m shitting bricks, we don’t have to deal with Florida this year and now we have habs and Sabres that are punching above their weight. Sunday will tell us a lot, we need a good first game. Don’t let slaf get hot, vasy needs to be lights out.

LFG LIGHTNING!⚡️

PS: is there an online watch party like an app we can all watch the game together like a discord group?

  2. >I’m sick to my stomach about game 1

    With everything else that’s going on, ***game 1*** has you bugging out?

    Unless you bet the farm on the game, just relax and enjoy the series.

  4. Breath, sit back and relax.

    We’ve seen before where tampa goes down 0-2 in the series to come back and win.

    If we break the home game playoff drought I find the boys will be just fine.

  6. Saaaaaame! Obvious, the Stanley Cup is ours and belongs in Tampa.

    This is my team, forever. But their play lately has made me nervous, especially the way they handle the first period sometimes. Have I walked directly into a pole at Amalie/Benchmark during first intermission wondering when they would start playing like actual hockey champs? Yep!

    Basically, I think these boys are gonna hold it together and do it…but if they don’t I’ll still be around next year whining about the same stuff. Hooray, sports!

  9. I suggest you relax and get ready to watch some good hockey. There are much bigger things to get sick to your stomach about.

  10. They have to come out and take game 1. Since the Colorado this team has been ass at winning games on home ice. If they expect to win a series they need to own home ice first.

  11. Sick to your stomach is crazy. Chill out lol

    We’ve got plenty of talent and playoff experience. Let’s turn that sickness into butterflies because it’s time for playoff hockey!

  12. Is this your first playoffs? You will drive yourself insane if you treat every game like this. Seriously. And please don’t sports bet – your anxiety is already too much.

  13. My mindset is that I became a fan of the Bolts when I moved to Florida in 2015(since moved back home so I’m Distant Thunder.) Married into a Florida family and turned alot of native Tampa residents onto the Bolts. We’ve had insane success as a franchise for quite a bit of time now. I dare say we are spoiled. We are a lock to make the playoffs every year it seems. And several Cup runs in that time frame. We just gotta enjoy the ride. Not far down the road Kuch, Vasy, Heddy, and most of this core will be retired. Go Bolts

  14. It’s sports at the end of the day. You don’t play for the team. Your life will go on regardless of what happens. Some of yall need to relax with this stuff and enjoy the entertainment.

  15. Dude, relax and enjoy the series. All the playoff games are going to be rough. That’s literally the most fun part! Bring only good vibes tomorrow. We need it

  17. I love it/them and it matters to me. But it’s a game. Them losing will not give you CTE, or tear your ACL, or fracture a vertebrae. We hope to win, mostly bc I think the guys deserve it but always remember that nothing hits as hard as life.

  18. Considering last season, im actually feeling pretty good. Look at panthers and us last season. We smoked them just about every game at the end of the season because they had “injuries”. Then the first game we played them in playoffs everyone was magically healed or playing through them. The smart play is get to the playoffs and then save your stars for the playoffs. We want the cup, not the presidents trophy.

  19. Omg I love your passion!!! Play our game and our third line guys get goals we will be fine. Dont stroke out on us!! We got this!!!

  20. NHL playoffs – the battle about which will burst first, your heart or your bladder. GO BOLTS! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

  21. I had a dream we beat Montreal 7-0 in game 1, and I scored 2 goals. We’ve got this!!
