O, give me a home / Where insanity roams / And the deer / They just all run away…. :oD

visiting home was the problem

I don’t think we’ve had any games coinciding with bounceyhoops since I got back.

also, Tennessee was a Bolt-esque 0-7 on the road going into today. And we just flat dominated Florida. Who was ranked #8 in the country. In Gainesville. Also, beating Florida is always wonderful.

I think it depends on the arena, frankly. It wouldn’t surprise me that it’s because they’re so close to Canada, tho. Not sure if Detroit does that, too, or not.

I’ve heard that a lot of Maple Leafs fans watch games in Buffalo since getting tickets to Air Canada Centre is next to impossible – so they do get Canadians going to games there.

Thanks for the Ads updates

Critical to the development process of the many ( for the 1st time ever ) fine prospects the Bolts have at Norfolk. We still need some high end defensive prospects and a few more centers ( since Wright and Jones were traded ) but the wings and bottom 3 defensive slots all show a progression of players developing into potential NHL’ers in each of the next couple seasons.

Shots are 23-13 Lightning; Stamkos has seven shots. Hits are 13-5 Sabres; five players have a hit each. Faceoffs are 55%-45% Sabres; Moore is 7-2 (78%). Tampa Bay have three turnovers, one steal, and 11 blocked shots.

By the way, the Lightning haven’t taken a penalty in this game thru 2 periods.

Bolts defense has been really good. Garon looks bored out there. Especially, Hedman, I just can’t emphasize enough how good he’s been the last 10 days. I mean Norris Trophy good. Perhaps watching from the press box gave him the perspective he needed to have confidence to raise his level of play. I was about to diss on Downie andhow he looks slow and isn’t doing much and he gets that all important first goal. Keep rollin’ Bolts!

Despite Yzerman's best efforts

This team tends to remind me of the last year that Tort’s coached the Bolts. With so many high salaried players the 2nd, 3rd and 4th lines and the bottom 2 defense pairing ended up being pinched by the salary cap ( this year ) and the internal team budget of Palace Sports in the Tortorella/Feaster years. Another example of why it’s so important to draft and develop talent internally so you consistently have NHL capable players coming into the system on entry level contracts.

Don in St Pete

by Don in St Pete on Feb 11, 2012 9:41 PM EST reply actions  

Feaster was handcuffed the last year of Torts tenure – the team was for sale / with a pending sale from the start to the finish. It was only at the trade deadline Feaster was allowed to move salary.

The difference between the two teams is that there is actual talent in Norfolk. Feaster only had a few cogs to work with from the minor league stock.

I’m not disagreeing with the top-heavy sentiment… I’m just saying this is a better team (though I wouldn’t mind having Johan Holmqvist)
