Already having hockey withdrawals. Next week can't get here fast enough for some Olympic Hockey.

USA! USA! USA! USA!

And with all the restricted free agents we have to sign I hear another compliance buyout coming!

Paging Ryan Malone, Ryan Malone your time Tampa Bay is up.

unreal,

so what are realistic chances that stamkos is back our first game post Olympics anyways? I've heard almost 100% and others say he could be out way longer..

Personally I think it will probably be the first home game back on March 6th which is basically 4 months.

But it comes down to how much the bone has healed.

I am sure they will X-ray it again and if its cleared he would come back in the next game after that X-ray.

I can tell you he feels he can play now, only issue now is start-stop-start. He can cut hard right now so that is good.

Looks like we're getting new third jerseys

Where did you hear/see that?

I got an email about season ticket renewals and it specifically talks about if I upgrade to the Blue Line Club I will get a new special Stamkos 3rd jersey with every purchase. Maybe that is what he is referring to.

I wonder what they will look like if true, I have a feeling it will be less black but continue the Bolts theme on the front though. The ownership don't like the black.

The Bolts jersey is the most popular according to what my sales rep told me last year.

I've heard that the new third is going to be black.

If I had it my way our home jerseys we have now would befall black wherever there's blue now...keep the white logo and white on sleeves and socks along with white bolt on pants...I think that would be so sick but I must admit these ones have grown on me quite a lot

That would be great. I love black uni's but I hope they still keep the BOLTS on the Jersey. I am just basing my guess on everything I have seen the ownership group since they have taken over and that is continuously remove black from the color scheme in everything. Jersey, Logo, Arena, etc.

How many of you actually noticed this year that the third alternate jersey uses the new logo on the shoulder pad area instead of the old logo or did they do that last year. I don't think they did.

I guess everyone.... Except you.

I saw a retweet by (I think) bolt prospects which had information from the new reebok catalog, but then like has been mentioned above, I also received an email about season ticket renewals and there was a mentioned of a new alternate

I did but it's not much change lol

I NEED SOME INFO ON RETO SURI....WHO IS HIS COMPARABLE?!?!?!? and how did I not know about him??????? WTF

WE ALREADY HAD ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH MAKING ROOM, NOW I GET INFORMATION THAT THIS GUY IS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD AND WILL CHALLENGE FOR YET ANOTHER SPOT..HOLY (frank)

Going to post the mailbag submission form later today.

Everybody thought that Sean Couturier inflated Palat's stats. It's pretty clear now; that wasn't the case.
- Michael_Stuart

As it turns out Palat helps "inflate" everybody's stats. The best part is the goals and assists are only a small portion of his total worth to the club. The guy just knows hockey and knows when and where to push forward and when/where he needs to fall back. His hockey sense is truly unreal and hopefully will be in a Bolt uni for a very long time to come

As soon as Kucherov figures out how to bury the puck he's going to be a scoring machine. I can't wait.
- Nuts-Bolts

You can also add Brown to the snakebit crowd. If it's not Kucherov creating a chance for himself then it's Brown, yet it seems neither of them can buy a goal. They will come so I'm not worried
