#Notes

* Ok so we’re still not at our best defensively but we did play better than last time and got the win

* GO BOLTS!!!

  1. Well that was significantly better. Except for the first 2 mins of the second. Still feels like we are on the right track.

  2. SwagFondue

    Biggest testament to that game, all four lines looked great

  3. HannTwistzz

    Man I just wanted a Kuchy hat trick cmon man. Also though 7 SOGs wow if he keeps this up he will probably break 40

  4. Skaters take note, you have to play better/smarter defensively! A big difficulty spike comes up Saturday so be ready!!

    Also must all of our games against Vancouver turn into nail biters?

  5. Paul’s power forward play on PP1 might be enough to keep us afloat if the defense plays well. Also huge fan of all the mixed lines tonight. Point is still a passenger, although his zone entries were very good. Sheary is still largely a disappointment, especially for the price. Need him to get going.

  6. Been watching the Astros all night but glad to see the Bolts got the W back home! I’ll be more active in these subs once baseball season is over

  7. Three_Froggy_Problem

    My big takeaways:

    • Johansson looks good. I think that second goal is one he maybe should’ve had, but he’s better than his stats show.

    • Paul is a beast on the PP and pairs great with Kuch.

    • Having Stammer back is huge. The difference in our offense is night and day with him around.

    • Hagel continues to have absolutely insane hustle. The dude is just everywhere.

    • I love having Jeannot around. It’s just fun having a guy on this team who can kick anyone’s ass.

    • I’m very scared to face Toronto.

  8. AutomaticLead

    cannot wait for Vasy to return so we can win the division. As soon as i saw that Myers goal I slapped my face and forgot Vasy wasn’t in net

  9. GatorBolt

    Really is amazing how much difference Stamkos makes in this offense… I think his agent is keeping that in mind..

  10. Mythalium

    Solid win tonight, but it’s just one game against a very beatable Vancouver squad. Let’s see if we can maintain pace and defend more consistently now.

    Johansson has looked pretty solid so far. He’s no Big Cat, but he can put up a decent performance.

    Was disappointed to see Cerny not drop the gloves, but Jeannot made up for it
