Sens lead the series 2-1. Lightning’s backs are to the wall.. Which team shows up tonight? The Stanley Cup Champs or the 2005-06 “Close but not quite” Lightning?
And how infractions (from members of both teams folks, I’m not a raging homer) does the officiating crew chose not to call tonight?
The floor is yours.
As always — keep it civil.

Glad to see the turn around Hinch
I have to be here. My blinking blue necklace still has power left.
Well, it is a sad thing when a rookie, Paul Ranger, is the guy who steps up his play and shows a fearless game in the playoffs. Too bad the former Cup-winning vets couldn’t keep pace with him. I hope we get some new defensemen to help Paul out next year. As for keeping Richards, heck, I’d trade anyone to keep him! No brainer. Ditto the thanks to you, John, for giving us this forum. The other Bolts fan sites I lurked on early in the season were inane chats about “who’s your fave player” & measuring “quality” by how many checks a player throws per game. You rock, and hoping for Sat success.
LOL, that’s good a reason as any.
Then again, you could ditch and go to Shots to watch this thing with other fans….
Curse those dry cell batteries.
Marsha: Damn skippy.
Marsha, thanks… Thanks to you too Gary, and Hinch. You guys keep me going some days (and Alex, Gary. Just knowing you guys are reading).
Alex is a loser. Where has he been this series? Sitting at home in front of the TV which is nowhere near his computer… that’s where. That guy sucks.
LoL
But he DID tip you off to Boltsmag in 2004 right?
Sorry about that. John said keep it civil. For other readers (John knows) : I have permission to give Alex some shit… he’s been giving me shit for 33 years.
John: DAMN YOU!
Why do you have to bring out reality? I’m hoping he’ll read the posts and come back at me as an older brother should. But NO you’ve gotta’ hand him the trump card all graceful like.
Yes, he did hook me up w/ the Boltsmag action back in the day. The only reason I’m here is because of Alex. You know that’s not his *real* name, right? Hehehehe.
When I said keep it civil — it was more like instruction for Ottawa fans who dropped by — none posted on the game thread — to not come in here just to talk trash or anything. I don’t mind obscene jokes and everything like that, it’s dropping F-bombs aimed at other people who support other teams and that ilk.
I know his real name is Alica and the entire “Brother” thing has been a farce from the start.
Oh, that’s better than anything I could come up with. I especially appreciate the gay lover implication you’re lodging against him (but not me, right?).
John wins!
Correct
Tough game out there tonight – I have a headache after watching it. Gotta give the Sens a lot of credit, they just wanted it more and had an extra gear that kept the us in neutral. Game 5, hopefully the guys will play loose and maybe something special might happen, but i won’t get my hopes up too much. I did get some good news – 2 Full season Tix for 06-07 in Section 301 J – yeaa baby! I’ll be there all 41 nights!!! Anyone know who the goalies are gonna be on the free agent list this upcoming season? What about Defensemen? To beat the likes of Ottawa and other powerhouse teams we need 4 lines to produce, we barely have two this year.
Let’s hope for good things in game 5!!!
GO BOLTS
