  1. AWAY GAME THANK FUCKING GOD

    LETS GO BOYS, BOUNCE BACK

  2. Spiritual_Bourbon

    I’m still pissed about Brandon Hagel. Fuck the Lightning, dirty team.

  3. trippyEDM

    I went to the last away lightning game our d was literally a walking corpse and we still almost won. I expect a bounce back.

  4. I am honestly impressed that Zach Bogosian is hurt 30+ games a year and still has a 15+ year NHL career.

    5-2 and Tuch has 3 points

  5. cwright716

    Its a lightning game, who leaves with an injury tonight?

  6. UncleOrton

    Tampa is 22-4-2 at home. Not to be a complete wet blanket but if we can even just look competent and lose in overtime it will be a successful night. Florida/Washington are the must win games.
