Before we get too far into this, we will admit we did not watch tonight’s game. Thanks to a combination of factors including, but not limited to, a rough day at the bill-paying job, wonky internet, and the fact that we have no couch, we’re not going to watch the game either. So here are some recaps of the 2-1 loss from folks that we assume did watch the game. Bo Horvat and old friend Anthony Duclair had the tallies for the Islanders while Dominic James scored for the Lightning. NHL.com ...

The Tamp Bay Lightning played 14 games in November and won 11 of them. That’s it, that’s the review. We really don’t need to get any deeper than that. But, we do. Well, we have to in order to show up in Google results. The Lightning started the month 15th out of 16 teams in the Eastern Conference.

On November 30, 2023, Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Tristan Jarry became the 14th goaltender to be credited with a goal in a NHL game and the 9th goaltender to shoot the puck into the net. Defending a 3-2 lead against Tampa Bay with a minute remaining on the road, Jarry collected an Anthony Cirelli tip in and promptly fired it 175 feet into the Lightning's empty cage. The

Perhaps it was the early start time, but for the first two periods the Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings decided that defense was optional. If it wasn’t for the play of Andrei Vasilevskiy and John Gibson there would have been even more than the seven goals the two teams combined to score. The Lightning emerged from those forty minutes with the 4-3 lead, and not only held off a surge from the home team, but added a couple of goals to win their sixth game in a row by a final of 6-3. ...

It’s Thanksgiving, at least among some of the lesser hockey countries. So today, I’m going to list a reason that I’m thankful for each NHL team. That’s it. No gimmicks, or clever twists. I promise I’m not even going to do the “Thanks for reminding us it could always be worse” backhanded compliment thing to anyone. Just one sincere, if slightly bizarre, reason to say a quick thanks to every team. >> Read the full post at The Athletic (Want to read this post on The Athletic for free? Sign u...

While the Tampa Bay Lightning’s defense is still, in the words of their goaltender , “Syracuse-ish” it appears that the forwards are getting healthier. Brayden Point’s status might still be in doubt, but based on Tuesday’s practice, it appears that another center could be ready to return to the line-up. Pontus Holmberg, who has been out of the line-up since early line-up was taking a regular shift. He was also part of the unofficial sign of return as he led the team stretch at practice, a...

With a line-up that was missing it’s top center and three of their four most used defensemen, the Tampa Bay Lightning needed their best players to step up and take control against a feisty Philadelphia Flyers team. The Bolts answered the call as Andrei Vasilevskiy picked up his first shutout of the season with 20 saves while Brandon Hagel scored twice and added an assist. His linemates, Anthony Cirelli (1 goal, 1 assist), and Nikita Kucherov (3 assists) provided the rest of the offense as the ...
