Last night was Exhibit A for this. They didn’t look like the same team! #GoBolts

I wasn't ready for Jeff today.

Jonas Johansson's 5.22 GAA is the 75th worst out of 76 in the NHL, just beating Mads Søgaard, who played half a game for Ottawa in October. Søgaard won that game, by the way.

I like that the announcers are behaving as though it's some wild coincidence that all of Johansson's starts end up as these wild high-scoring affairs and not just the effect of him being a total sieve

Good lord, 5-5 midway through the 2nd. The boys know they need to rack up goals when JoJo is in net. I wonder if Vasy wonders why they don't get 7 or 8 goals on his starts.

LORD HELP US, Jonas Johansson is starting for the Lightning

Brilliant observation by @maxkennerly.bsky.social to a whole pot-full of parboiled frogs.

Damn odd that the Lightning scored three goals last night and Kucherov didn't factor in any of them

Man, fantastic game for Brayden Point, huge for the Lightning to have him back. Two goals from behind the net including the OT winner? Golden.

Your semi-annual reminder that the current longest-tenured coach in the NHL has never won this award. #GoBolts

Sidney Crosby can score his 600th goal against us as long as the Lightning win the game

Ryan McDonagh looks like a G.I. Joe action figure, or maybe a Transformer

Good for Darren Raddysh. That must feel good after sitting so often.

Love the Lightning's game tonight. Really good offensive pressure, great pace, not having break-downs, Vasy is in it...

Sign at Union Station (Toronto) tonight. Trains filled with sparkly dresses and hockey jerseys.

#Bolts Nation, We are officially on Bluesky! Thank you for the warm welcome. Unfortunately, some games may not be covered on here and may be limited to X. If that’s the case, we will let you know before the action. Thank you again and #GoBolts ⚡️

Did I watch the fight? Yes. What did I see? I saw a young man who fought like he was both afraid of getting knocked out by an old man and unwilling to try and really hurt the old man to win. And I saw an old man who was an old man. So, a young, cautious man beating a tired old man = boring fight.

This is cheating, but...

LOOK HOW HAPPY HE IS-- great pic of Brandon Hagel watching his shot go in over Eric Comrie's shoulder

This pic should be accompanied by a slow, heavy bass line, the kind that says, DAMN, here he comes

One for the ages ⚡️ Good morning, friends!

Pregame routines are back 🤝

3-1 Lightning at the midpoint of the game... this is a dangerous lead. The Lightning need to score five more in a row for me to not feel nervous about this.

Oh Christ, ex-Bolt Hadyn Fleury gets on assist on the Jets first,

Oh man, the Lightning are rolling against the Jets-- Cirelli gets his hundredth career goal on the PP. 3-0 Lightning.

Fantastic passing play on the Hagel goal, holy shit!

I’m cooked

Please play Goncalves over Atkinson

Luckily everybody knows the Jets are pushovers. (takes big sip of water before looking at the NHL standings)

It feels like last Thursday's game against the Flyers was... *checks watch*... forty years ago

Rare win for reality. I look forward to visiting Infowars for the first time, once the Onion does its relaunch.

#GoBolts sigh

Well, the Lightning surrender a third period lead and lose in the shootout. 4th straight loss. Bloddy hell.

Nikita Kucherov wraps up the first period by scoring his league-leading 11th goal, with help from Flyers goalie Ivan Fedotov who was gloriously out of position, possibly because he saw the popcorn guy and got hungry

I'm not really posting here at the moment, but I AM following my friends from the other place who come on over. I'll start using this one more evantually.
