Game Thread: Lightning @ Blue Jackets

[dannyb24195]

First of all lets start off with some good news. Bish will backup Lindy tonight and will likely start against the Rangers tomorrow. Sami Salo X-Ray's can back negative so just a bruise from a blocked shot of his ankle.

Lightning loosed their earlier meeting with the Blue Jackets this season and looked flat in doing so. Columbus are 7-3-0 in their last 10 and have won 3 on the bounce. The Lightning are 6-3-1 in their last 10 and are road warriors as of late winning 7 of their last 8 away from home. It should be a very good tight game. It's a very important game for the bolts as this is the game in hand they have over the Habs so they could do with making this one count. I have the Lightning winning 4-2 tonight. As always......... GO BOLTS!!!

1st period in the books. 0-0 score. Lindback looks stellar again! I am glad he's getting the repetitions. He really looks like his confidence is getting a boost. Go Lindback go!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried to kick one in on Lindback! :hdn:

 

[I_Shall_Return]

Damn, screened Lindback & no one even tried to clear the crease! Goal Jackets.

 

[I_Shall_Return]

PP Bolts, probably won't even be able to gain their zone, as usual.

 

[I_Shall_Return]

WOW!!!!!!!!!! BOLTS SCORES ON THE PP!!!!! KILORN TIPS IT IN!!!!!!! TIED AT 1!!!!!!!! It must be a cold day in Hell, Bolts score on the PP!

 

[I_Shall_Return]

2-1 BOLTS!!!!!!!!!! HEDMAN NETS IT!!!

 

[I_Shall_Return]

End of 2, Bolts lead 2-1.

 

[I_Shall_Return]

PP goal by Jackets on their 5th PP opportunity, no chance for Lindback on that one. Tied @ 2

 

[I_Shall_Return]

Damn, we really need the 2 pts from an out right win. I hope this don't go into OT!

 

[ktg8trgrl]

me neither

Tough loss for the Lightning, but at least they got a point and even more importantly they should have Ben Bishop ready to go tonight against the Rangers. Should be a really good game, to hot teams and possibly 2 hot goalies. Tough one to call.

No, no point Doobee. They lost in regulation.

No, no point Doobee. They lost in regulation.

My bad, thought it was in OT.

Yeah tough loss, we played well in stretches but ill discipline and costly turnovers cost us the game. Overall perhaps we deserved something out of the game but I didn't like our complete level, they looked the hungry team from start to finish.
