We do bolt! Means not stopping up to stupid o'clock in the morning watching the bolts. Nice weather here in the UK today 80 degrees Fahrenheit which for us is really warm for this time of year so spent the day soaking in the sun and now time for a few beers and Lightning.

GO BOLTS!!!

Atta go Danny nice day here in Fl. also 83 degrees in Tampa.No wind ,no clouds
just a lovely day. And the Lightning got off to a great start,2-0 Bolts in the first
looks like they want it more than the Isles.

Nice job closing out the series guys. You guys are looking pretty good right now, I would consider the Lightning to be the favorites to rep the Eastern Conference in the Stanley Cup Finals right now.

Nice! Much rather be enjoying the weather in Florida rather than St. Helens here in the UK! Great win by the bolts, completely dominated that game! Victor Hedman was an absolute beast out there today and Kuch continues to roll offensively. Hope we see that team in the ECF, they just looked so confident out there and took control. Speaking of the ECF i hope Doob's Pens come through, I don't fancy the Caps at all! This season we are 3-0 vs the Pens and 0-3 vs the Caps. I know the Pens have drastically improved but our style of play is better suited against the Pens and it seems like the Caps have our number.

GO BOLTS!

On to the ECF Ben Bishop got his fourth shutout in an elimination game.
We could go all the way with Ben, he is that good.

Thanks but I expect the Penguins or caps to push us hard

If we don't finish the Caps on Tuesday night, I think the Lightning will surely represent the Eastern Conference in the Stanley Cup Finals against either the St. Louis Blues or San Jose Sharks, where history sides with the Lightning to win the Stanley Cup.

I think Pitt, STL, SJ are all capable of taking out the Bolts

Capable, yes, but the Bolts have more balance, depth, & experience out of any of the remaining teams. I see them as the Stanley Cup favorites right now.

Not overwhelming depth.....STL and SJ have better coaching...if Pitt takes out Wash then Sullivan too

What have De Boer & Sullivan done that Cooper hasn't? Even Hitchcock hasn't done anything in the playoffs since the rule changes of 2005. Besides, I find coaching to be overrated in the NHL, as long as you don't hurt the team, I think you're a good coach.

Doob's power ranking...
#1 Tampa Bay Lightning
#2 San Jose Sharks
#3 St. Louis Blues
#4 Pittsburgh Penguins
#5 Washington Capitals
#6 Dallas Stars
#7 Nashville Predators

Its not a matter what they have done.....its what they are doing now

Tampa is 8-2 in the playoffs, no one is doing better in the playoffs now than the Lightning.

you beat big Ben you win.......get inside with your speed and have your defense pinch as often as possible

Same could be said about any goalie. Easier said than done.
