BRETT CONNOLLY:

Quote:

"There's a lot of character here. We have guys that never quit and there are a lot of veterans that have been here before and know what expect and are helping out the younger guys...just being leaders. So there's a ton of character in the room and it seems like whenever we are down we're coming back so that's a good sign."

ERIC BREWER:

Quote:

"I’m pretty excited for it. It was a great place to play and my wife and I met a lot of good people over the years there. It should be fun."

Quote:

"I’m looking forward to having a quick chat with a lot of the guys. I played with a lot of them for a long time and we had some really good times there. I have nothing but good things to say about their organization."

LET'S GO BOLTS!

Tough team to beat. Their building will be packed as usual. Will Brewer get a little video tribute or something?

hoping for a great game, usually good games against the blues

Because it has to be done--- #boom

Brewer hat trick and we sit in the 1-3-1 all game long.

I am really hoping that we win this one by a blowout just to shut up all the "1-3-1 trap" nonsense.

and just because I can.

#BOOM-erang

I was hoping we'd get Malone back tonight. Oh well, let's keep the win streak going tonight!

From Blues coach Ken Hitchcock:

Quote:

"The onus is on the guys with the puck to find a way to beat something," Hitchcock said. "It’s not about embarrassing anybody. The reason Tampa is in that setup is that it was missing two very good defensemen who play heavy minutes, real heavy minutes, against top players. So, you protect your defensemen any way you want. You don’t want to be getting bogged down in your own zone, so that’s smart."

Quote:

"To me you have to find a way to beat that," he said of the 1-3-1. "It’s kind of why (Tampa Bay) did it. They don’t do it to stall the game down, they do it to protect their defensemen. You’ve got to find a way to get it behind them, that’s my feeling. Our job is to get it behind them, get into their defensemen and see what we can do. But we’re not going to do that (Philly) tactic and we’re not interested in that tactic. I just feel the soul obligation is on the team with the puck."

hey guys looking forward to the game tonight. How's Brewer looked this season? He got a bad rap here (not necessarily unearned but still unfair the degree it got to here) and was wondering how he's doing in Tampa?

We're pretty happy with Brewer, I'd say. He's been our #1 defenseman, and has done well. He's not putting up a ton of points, but that's what our forwards (and MAB) are for.

He is doing great IMO. Eats a ton of minutes, is our best D-man until Hedman overtakes the #1 spot, which is close, and good in the locker room.

Very random, but the Lightning's twitter account favorited (perhaps by accident) a comment

Center David Gilbert assigned from Rockford IceHogs of the AHL to ECHL’s Toledo Walleye.

From what I can find on the guy, as he was only drafted in 2009 (7th round). He was pretty highly touted at one point (proj. 2nd round), but issues arose over his passion and work ethic.

From Blues coach Ken Hitchcock:

You mean hitchcock isn't a whiny ***** and will try to coach his way through it? A revelation!

Laviolette can't figure out the 1-3-1. His record against the Bolts with Boucher is 1-3-1...

Hitchcock is all class.

Always like seeing the lightning. Good luck boys should be a good game.

TEAM SLOW START GO!

PS Kevin Shattenkirk is so dreamy.

Steen almost scores. Very close.

I hope that one day the Lightning will score first. Make it happen!

The Tampa Bay Gold & Diamond Source sounds like the Tampa Bay Golden Dinosaur.
