Game night at Times Palace

OK, someone tell me directly that I shoved my foot in my mouth… Or better yet, the Lightning shoved my foot in my mouth.

In a quick reversal of fortune — that can quickly change again if the Lightning let up — they go into tonights home game versus the Ottawa Senators with a shot at first place in the Southeast Division and the #3 seed in the east. The Thrashers hath fallen to the Pittsburgh Penguins this afternoon (2-1 final) and that puts pressure on the Lightning to perform.

Packed house at the arena expected tonight, as the Lightning box office was selling standing room only tickets as of this morning. Times Palace will be rocking if not for playoff calibre hockey (or so we hope) but also with people wanting to see Vincenzo tally #50 on his scoring belt for the year.

March Madness ain’t shit compared to playoff push hockey.

    This is big. I’m pumped. Chips, beer, and the remote. I’m ready.

    March Madness? That’s some other sport, right? Curling, I think.

    Yeah, another sport…

    Commonly thought of as a communal disease among sports enthusiast circles, “March Madness” in reality, is just a played out cliché

    I wonder what the stats are for the opposing team scoring on the Lightning less than one minute after the Lightning score? Seems to happen a lot.

    I hate that crap.

    moot at the moment. Tie game. Boyle — two-fer the night!

    crap. That has got to be a record for letting up odd man rushes. Still, Denis gets paid too much not to make some of those saves.
    Back to the nail biting.

    March Madness smokes “playoff push”!! Go Gators!!

    Only thing remotely close to “comfort” (and I don’t mean Southern Comfort either, nasty stuff) would be that the Canes have to rely on Grahame to get them into the playoff picture. Been there. Done that.
