lost to Florida 4 – 1 last year, Florida went on to win their 2nd consecutive cup. What I would like to know is why Tampa's ideology changed and they felt that thuggery would get them past the 1st round and beyond. Big Mistake
Wow.. Pens fan here but man I'm very impressed with JBB. Don't let him go.
Best series ever! Thanks Tampa for this great great serie! Heads up! Hard last game to digest! Very classy Julien!
Still tough and need some time. That’s part of being the fan that invest the whole season and watches all 82 games plus playoffs. But having Julien and Coach Cooper (get the man his Jack Adams for the love of Hockey God NHL) being all class even in defeat is something to help & hang the hat on.
I’m never gonna be the fan that gets 13 straight years of playoff caliber and SCP caliber hockey and still find reasons to b!tch as a fan of think the world is caving in. That’s for the lunatics.
Tough to swallow, but love my Lightning and love our leadership.
As we’ve found out in this world now more than ever, classy & honest leadership ain’t easy to come by in this world or being taken fir granted.
Thank you for another season of great hockey ladies and gents of the Lightning organization 🙌
Going back to the cup loss against Colorado, the Lightning have lost 5 straight series with a 9-20 record. We need a youth movement. Geekie, Goncalves, James, Crozier, & Carlile should be getting more minutes next season. Bring up O'Reilly. Yes, we may be mediocre for a season or two, but getting the younger guys more experience is important. If the older guys don't want to stick around for a mini rebuild then trade them. Going forward, I think Hagel, Cirelli, & Gourde should be the leaders. *On a side note, Dominic James made me forget about losing Isaac Howard. I hope the kid takes the next step.
Class act
couldn't care less about the bolts but I just can't stop watching the interview. dude is a boss
Lifetime Habs fan, but I must say Julien BriseBois is classy guy. 👌
Also the coach for TBL is our Team Canada Coach that I truly admire.👍
Do Montreal fans go around everywhere introducing themselves as Montreal fans? “Montreal fan here, can you point me to the pickles aisle?’
Be nice to see the playoff format change to 1 v 8, 2 v 7, etc. The east was so tight anyway, maybe it wouldn't have made much difference this year, but in general it would likely help avoid having 2 legitimate contenders play each other early.
It's been really overshadowed and overlooked, but I think letting Douglas go on waivers was the biggest mistake of the year. They lost so much of their physical edge and he was exactly the kind of player they could have used in that series. He didn't even have to record a point, when you have guys like that that are big and imposing and will fight It boosts the confidence of the whole team. Just seems like there was really no good reason to just let him go And he was providing a lot of spark when we were at our best.
If TBL focused on hockey, and a whole lot less on disruption, they'd win everything.
He is a dream manager to have… His resume is astonishing!
What a speech! Giving praise to mtl
Imagine winning a game 7 with 9 shots ! Well we did it ! I would like to thank Niki Kucherov for not being a factor in the playoffs ! GO HAB$ GO
Un type avec beaucoup de classe,,,,,,,,le contraire de Kucherov!!!
Satisfying.
team is too old, is it time to move on from Kuch, Hedman, McDonough? 4 straight years of losing in the 1st round.
Leafs fan here. Brisbois is awesome. Class act. Whatever team he is a part of is fortunate to have him. TB has been that team.
They'll most likely move Corey Perry away?
You know who would have really helped score goals… Steven Stamkos! And why would you have brought Cory Perry back!?
Not concerned about the power play ?! It was literally the difference of us during the playoffs ! If we had our power play scoring. We would have won this series.
An all due respect and one of those Stanley Cup championships you were over the salary cap by 18 million.. Go Habs.. Go ..
Wish we could trade Hedman and point
The Olympic break did us in
Vasy deserves to be captain of the lighting
Panthers fan here, always time to see the light and support the real Florida team 🤷♂️ bolts will always be our little brother. That’s just how it is
It was a very tight series. Someone has to win and someone has to lose. No shame in the effort or performance.
3 plays 4, 7 plays 8. The Bolts should not be sitting out. The NHL has to ALLOW THE BEST TEAMS TO MOVE FORWARD. The present system is lNSANlTY [from a Hab's fan]
Tampa losing in the first round is tradition now just like Carolina losing in the Eastern conference finals.. Sports bettong is tough af as it is, but I sure appreciate the predictable stuff. Thanks for the money Dummy!
Top 3 GM in the league
Just an amazing season. You came so close. Stay focused for next season. #NextYearBOLTS ⚡🥅🏒⚡🥅🏒⚡🥅🏒⚡🥅🏒 Used to watch this team at #TROPICANA before your area was being built.
Fire this bum! All he does is go after worn out old players or overpay for mediocre ones!
JBB thanks for another great year, I'm a huge Bolts fan, (I live in Las Vegas) and I continuosly travel all over to see this team, just this year alone I attened: TBL vs VGK in November, flew to Tampa for BOS vs TBL stadium series in Febuary, flew to Minnesota for TBL vs MIN in March, flew back to Tampa in late March for SEA vs TBL and NSH vs TBL. I look forward to more games and arenas to be seen next year. GO BOLTS! ⚡⚡⚡
