Michael Stuart: Lightning Set to Face Penguins Looking for Second Straight Victory

FIRST!!!! GO BOLTS! ONCE AGAIN GREAT BLOG MIKE!

Bishop looks like a nice pickup and while I don't think you guys will make the playoffs regardless who wins tonight having a decent goalie for next year is huge.

Pens 4-3 in OT

I don't think we're making the playoffs either. The math just doesn't work.

It's amazing how many people from Pittsburgh that now live in Tampa area. I thought it was a home game after the good goal call. Yea I was hoping to jinx it. early yet

We may be the worst team in the league at giving up 2 goal leads though. You have us right where you want us.

Second straight is a brutal place to be maybe looking to continue momentum is a better choice. The Lightening are in a defining year outside of the playoffs and with one of the best players they may have to make some difficult choices this off season name moving some older assets in order to maybe get a legitimate number 1 goalie Luongo would be good but that contract is scary but a Lecavalier for Luongo and Burrows maybe just what the Doctor ordered to get this team back in the top eight I can't see them really getting out the funk of this year.

I don't think that's the answer. Goaltending hasn't been the big problem. Bishop and Lindback will be here next year. Trading for Luongo would certainly be an upgrade in goal, but we would have nobody to play 2C. It would create more problems than it would solve.

I told you so. That was a sweet goal by Purcell

Yeah it was nothing big, it was a little from behind but hardly a hit, just two guys riding ibto he boards ..something u see all the time that never gets called no need to react in such a way the oens dud

This game could get ugly... The score might not let it but they want to.
