Dude that game was very painful. We looked tired or something. Just got outworked the entire time just like we do other teams. Please bounce back! I know we're missing a lot of important pieces but we've made it work somehow so far. Go lightning ⚡⚡
3 things…1:I wish we started the season stronger, as we'd be better off in points. 2: I wish the Atlantic wasn't as tight as it is, we need as many points as possible (see #1). 3: The injury bug is frustrating.
I debated going to the CBJ game, Nationwide arena is the closest the Bolts play to me. The Bolts always play badly against that team, glad I didn't waste my 💲.
Should've called today's video, "Dass-tourus"
