Lightning are 3-0 when I get absolutely blasted on vodka redbulls
Celebrating this win from Denver!
We’ve played two of our best game b2b! Let’s see if we can keep it up Saturday!
Back to back wins against two cup favorites. Also, How is it possible that kuch seems to be getting somehow BETTER at hockey. Boys are heating up 👀
Am I wrong if I’m a bit sad that Kuchy didn’t get a hatty or at least an EN point. Also give him the assist
the best player in the league and mackinnon was also there, how lovely
also, no clue what sins we’re paying for with this officiating but it’s really fucking annoying
Last time they played the Avs, I went through a “break up of sorts” with a huge Avs fan. The same week. It was really hard to lose that game. 3 months later I’m doing better and we fucking WIN!! Let’s goooo kuch!
Beat Boston, in their barn, beat CO tonight, if the boys can handle business against Florida then I think we’re talking about the most impressive week of the season. Should get them on the top row for THG this week.
Luxmore doing absolutely everything in his power to gift golden boy Mackinnon the win and they STILL lost LMFAOOOOO. The league can eat shit, Kuch is the MVP and everyone knows it.
Man I love that new hockey sweater smell. That’s what happens when you play the full 60
Kucherov missed that empty netter on purpose I’m convinced. Dude hates EN goals.
Great dub for the boys tn, let’s keep the momentum going vs FL!
I love Nikita Kucherov. I love the third jerseys. I love beating the Avs. What else can you ask for?
Two great wins in a row and Kuch outshined everyone. Good shit
Oh fuck I think I’m gonna *Be The Thunder*
I was impressed with our play tonight. Good game, guys, a well-earned win. Shaping up to be a solid season.
We are so back
It’s like if you’re not playing in your high altitude environment, you’re not such hot shit?
B2B impressive victories! Let’s go!
Top 3 Game of the Year for me personally
Tonight’s W, Vegas W just before Christmas, and Boston W near the end of November
That was a beautiful and well deserved win. That was playoff hockey *chefs kiss*
Another statement win. Kuch>>>>>>>MacHomeIce. Go Bolts!!!
Edit: oddly enough we seem to be in an opposite position to last year. This time after the all star break we were limping along. Now it seems we’re roaring again
Great game. I liked that it was so tight and no blowouts (till the ENs)
If anyone wants to see Kuchs game score for tonight, just straight crazy.
Monster game.

New kit is a success. Glad I pulled the trigger and got one on the way. Sexy
It’s ridiculous people thought we’d sit this guy for a year on purpose lol. Kucherov continues his disgusting rampage
Definitely going to order a Hagel third jersey

“This game’s performance should give Kucherov the MVP”
>
“Kuch’s All Star performance should lose him the MVP”
I’m not gonna lie, I got almost 2019 vibes from how this team played tonight— the intensity, speed, and the aggressive forechecking pressure was absolutely incredible. The offense was just flowing and operating with a ton of pressure. That game was so good, I started to like the jersey.
Lol Kuch @ that post game interview
Anyone else’s zappy parts extra ZAPPY?
Just wanted to list some of the reffing decisions here:
– MacKinnon Double Minor called off because of Cernak stick lift despite it being called 99.99% of the time since you have to “be aware of your stick”
– Byram slingshotted off of Hagel by pulling on his jersey to score a goal (no holding call)
– Ref held onto the whistle after Vasy save, despite puck not being visible for a few seconds, which led to a goal
– Stamkos breakaway chance blown offsides, despite being onsides
– Another offsides call that could’ve lead to a Kucherov Empty Net Hatty, when no Avs player touched the puck
Not to mention other interference calls that they had and weren’t called. It’s just frustrating watching us play well for once, and then have games like this and the one vs. Boston be dictated by the officiating.
Somebody needs to put a giant DO NOT TOUCH sticker on the Hagel-Cirrelli-Ace line. That thing is pure fire and needs to not be disturbed.
lmao Kuch’s interview. Man is a Russian Hockey сувояg
That Kuchy EN hatty would feed families
This is the way. LGBolts. Onward and upward.
This was pretty much a near complete game by the Bolts. Hard fought, good chances, solid defense to limit Colorado’s high horsepower offense, good fore and backcheck, and 3 points for Kuch. What more could we ask for?
Yknow, aside from the people in stripes doing the job they’re paid for.
