The Shock Of The Lightning!


It’s a bit of a pisser when your mom calls at 7:25 and requires your full attention so you don’t have the ability to turn the game on right away. As such, I walked right into a 1-0 Tampa lead. Fuckers. The game as a whole was pretty solid after the team woke up in the 2nd. I get that this game was relatively meaningless for both teams, but floating, at this time of year is intolerable.

Snapping back from a 3-0 deficit to force OT is EXACTLY what I wanted to see tonight. So what if it wasn’t NJ or PIT we were playing, dealing with adversity in any form is a plus at this point, and going into Saturday against Buffalo on a very emotional night at the Salmon Can at 7-1-1 is nothing to be down about.

Overall, I was impressed with everyone last night battling back. I would like to have seen Cowen get a bit more ice time, but truth be told, he’s not a game changer yet, and we needed (and got) one. Good on Furbligno for heeding my threats, I’m sure he’s a regular reader.

Keep rolling boys, those ‘garbage’ goals will earn you the silverware!
