    3-2 Bolts! An exciting game! Dallas is trying to physically intimidate Tampa, but the Lightning are giving it back just fine. Nice to see the PP come alive, too!

    13 down, 3 to go!!

    GO BOLTS!!! ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

    Great bounce back. They looked sluggish in game one, while Dallas was fresh. The three goal flurry was awesome. Dallas is tough as nails. Should be a great series.

    Tampa has been very good after a loss this postseason. They have yet to lose two straight.
    Game 3 is huge because it is the first night of a back to back and Vassy is young and will have no issue playing back to back, But Dallas is not as fortunate. A win in game 3 could really put Tampa in a good spot from a health/youth perspective with the back to back.

    Game 4 - 5 are back to back, not 3 - 4. Was due to the NFL.

    Bolts are doing ok, they need more production from their 2nd line, and getting Stamkos would be huge. Also need to stop taking dumb penalties

    Bolts need to play their game and NOT get sucked into the Dallas head hunting/thug-a-thon game. Stars are only doing that to get under the skin of the Bolts...and Bolts just need to play smart and not get goaded into retaliation penalties.

    Lots of buzz. If he can play on the 2nd or 3rd line give 20+ minutes plus the PP it would be huge.
    Who sits? Killorn? Johnson? (Johnson is one of my favorite guys, but he has struggled a lot.)

    Do you stick with the D from game 2? Bogo sits again?

    Lots of options for Coop.

    Stamkos stayed on ice late with the other scratches for morning skate prior to game two.
    Some photos coming out show he did not stay with the scratches today, although no one is positive that he was on ice at all.

    So it maybe a good sign...but not sure.

    Hasn’t come back, but they haven’t needed him either.
    Game 4 will be interesting - start of a back to back.

    Terrific domination of the game by the Lightning, other than the second half of the first period. The skill disparity of the teams was on full display. This series is only close when Dallas outworks Tampa for stretches of games; when Tampa works as hard or harder, it's no contest. I am especially pleased to see how the Lightning have been going hit-for-hit with a team that was supposed to be physically tougher. The Stars absolutely know that they are in an outright dog fight. And, of course, how cool was it to see Stammer come in and score on his first shot! A very, very satisfying win, all the way around!

    14 down, 2 to go!! ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

    GO BOLTS!!!

    OT: As an aside, I think it's also appropriate here to congratulate the Rays on clinching the A.L. East tonight. GO RAYS!
