    Does anyone know where the fella who won the shootout attained his formal education?

  2. skimmer419

    I think your team’s deserve-to-win meter should automatically go to 100% if your PK is able to kill a full 2:00 5v3, but that’s just my opinion.

  3. spideralex90

    Handed them their first back to back losses since December! And won both in their house. Let’s go for 3 at home on Saturday!

  4. Mundane-Remote-2865

    Big Cat did his thing, then Killer killed ‘um. Hard fought win!

  5. Wayf4rer

    Heating up at the right time. This NJ team is extremely talented, and beating them in close games is sharpening up the boys nicely for the playoffs. I was sure we would get BTFO in at least two of these games too.

  6. Mustache-of-Destiny

    Ian Cole just gave an outstanding post game interview with Mishkin on the radio. So refreshing.

    Colton putting on a hometown show. I love that Colton, Stammer, and Killorn all did their routine shootout move and almost went 3 for 3. If it ain’t broke…

  9. shayna16

    Can we get the Harry Potter video from a couple years ago with Gravy Train in the background going again?

  10. BoltzzMG

    Toronto needs to check that rear view mirror…

  11. HannTwistzz

    looks like we going back to TB up 2-0 not much to see great win against a cup contender although i am ready for a little bit of a stress free game

  12. GeetarMan9

    Back to back against a really good team. Just a week ago a lot of people thought we were done. First rodeo for those people. Boys looked good tonight 🙂

  13. snesfreak

    Overcame some BS officiating, shouldn’t have to do that but the NHL will never fix it because they don’t care.

  14. SwagFondue

    I have a feeling the shot total doesn’t tell the full story based on the penalty situation & the amount of high danger scoring chances we had, but how’d be look tonight?

  15. Bigstakes7287

    I kind of raised an eyebrow on the shootout lineup but they got it done so…

  16. honkie-mcgee

    The Lightning have played

    **4 games**

    without allowing a short-handed goal

  17. Things are looking better. Not looking for 100 PEAK. but gaining confidence again. Sat will be no easy night, better be ready to play 60. Vasi has looked sharper the last couple.

    Devils ot strategy is terrifying! who ever gets them in the PO will be lucky its 5 x 5 in PO OT

  18. agulde28

    The boys look like they’re back, these are the Bolts I’m used to seeing. This was a roller coaster type game and one of the best games of the season. Playoff atmosphere game. Let’s keep it going!

  19. eye_no_nuttin

    This win was definitely satisfying and humbling⚡️⚡️⚡️💙

  20. GJGentile

    God I really hope we hold on to Colton. He’s not talked about much outside of the Bolts, but he brings so much to this group.

  21. Party-Parfait-3546

    Hot fuck , that hit by cerny though. I was able to watch most of the third period only . How did we look?

  22. irritatedellipses

    BRB finding all the Killorn doubters from the last five years to find out what team they’re rooting for now.

  23. rhodesleadnowhere

    Damn it feels good to be a gangster. The boys delivered a phenomenal performance this evening. Let’s gooo!
