"The mood has to be fight. Falling down is not the sin. Falling down and not getting up, that’s the sin. We're going to make sure we get up and get ready for San Jose."

STEVEN STAMKOS:

Quote:

"We are aware of (the trade deadline) and we know this home stand makes the job a lot easier or harder for management if we put ourselves in a position. We obviously like the group that is in this room and we'd like to win with this group. And we realize that if things don't go as planned, there are going to be some moves. So, we want to make sure we put ourselves in a position that we are still battling for a playoff spot to ultimately improve the team and maybe make a run for it."

RYAN MALONE:

Quote:

"We are just trying to win hockey games. It's been hard for me not to play in the previous (eight) games because we know there are only 20-something games left and you are already looking at the standings and these already feel like playoff games. We know that we have to beat the teams in front of us … and we need a great home stand to get back into the hunt here."

LET'S GO BOLTS!

Full on ugly as hell Ass-whipping at the hands of the Shark-wings. As far as I'm concerned, the Sharks are kinda the measuring stick in the West. If you can hang with them consistently, you can challenge the Wings and Canucks no problem.

I don't see us hanging with this team at all. I hope to hell I'm wrong and Stamkos has a hatty.

I think it will be an ugly game. I'm going to the feeding frenzy. Better have extra beer money tonight.

Maybe we'll all be surprised and not embarassed by the end of the night?

Nah, it's gonna be bad.

Hopefully the real Guy Boucher shows up. Talk is cheap Guy.

RIP Kubina. Though I didn't like your game much this season, you were a big part of our Cup win and it was nice to see you finish off the end of your career in Tampa. Best of luck this season.

Tank mode on full :(

I'm going. God help me.

I was there when we got reamed from behind by Malkin. So suck it up.

I can deal with a loss, or several. I had ST's all through the Reign of Error :p: I'm just hoping for a few more signs of life than they showed against the Sens.

Going to have to drink before the game starts.

Who knows, maybe tonight will be Roli's most triumphant return.

Who am I kidding.

If we somehow end up with 1st overall pick, I will kill a kitten if we dont trade down for something nice and then pick one of Murray or Dumba.

Seriously, we dont need another explosive forward right now.

I just hope Stammer scores!

This could be Roloson's last game if we're getting Bishop back from STL for Kubina.

I'm calling a 5-0 shutout for us! Stamkos 2 goals, Vinny 2 goals, Mikkelson his 1st ever goal.

Let's do it!
