game prediction who win bolts or boston ? I say boston takes it in overtime 4-3

Hard to not go with Boston in this one.

Lightning win 4-2 in a very physical game, expect a fight or two, expects some physical hits, this is going to be a rough, hard nose game and those are the games that I love.

Update : Lindback in net, Aulie, Barberio and Pyatt are the healthy scratches.

Lightning 2 - 5 Boston

Bruin fan here hoping Boston wins but mainly glad exhibition season's over and the games will count now.

Any of you ever watched our new back-up goalie, Chad Johnson play? I haven't.

 

[Bolt Fore]

No I didn.t even know his name till I read your post. I wonder how Thomas will do in Florida ?
Didn't expect Lindback to start. Sacrifice???

Everyone has so much hate for Thomas. Yes he's a very selfish human... But he was the main reason we won a Cup. I wish him the best.

He never struck me as selfish, but then I only saw him on TV. What he might have been like off ice
I won't pretend to know.

Boston 3-1 as expected. Tampa failed to convert on two 5 on 3's which cost them.

might be another long rebuilding season again prediction 5th pick in the draft if so!

I thought Lightning played ok to be honest, they had chances and just didn't take them, otherwise I thought the defense played decent for the most part and they matched a very physical team in the physicality department something that's very hard to do.

ya I do need to remember it is boston then the blackhawks next we have a tough start

 

[Bolt Fore]

I thought they played very well indeed. Outshot Boston which is not an easy thing to do, I dont like the fact they were scored on shorthanded that should never happen.

 

[I_Shall_Return]

I thought the Bolts played alright other than the 2 shorthanded goals. The penalty shot, by the way, went down on the official stats as a shorthanded goal. And I see where we miss Vinny, faceoff wins. Otherwise they played well. I am not going to make any excuses that it's Boston, we should be every bit as good as them. The time is now, I really don't see Stamkos wanting to stay with a team that is not a consistent playoff contender year after year like Boston, Pitts, Chicago, etc. is.

 

[I_Shall_Return]

And yes, I can still see where Seth could have helped us. Jarome whipped our boys rear like he was Jarome's red headed stepchild!!!!

 

[Bolt Fore]

Gudas didn't win but he did ok against one of the toughest guys in the league.

Gudas didn't win but he did ok against one of the toughest guys in the league.

I thought Gudas won the fight, he landed at least 3 of his first 4 punches and outside of an exchange in the middle of the fight, Iginla punches didn't do no damage whatsoever.
