Previous Meetings this Season:

December 3rd 2011 (?) L




MARTY ST. LOUIS:

• "We're pretty down. It's tough when you are in a spiral down like this.''

• "You scratch your head and you look for answers and recipes. But all you have to do is go play, play the game, play the score at time, play the clock at time. You don't just throw the sticks in the middle and go play.''

• "You can't wait for something good to happen, you have to make something happen. It doesn't have to be a goal. It's a good defensive play, it's a smart play. We're not getting those consistently right now.''

ALL IN.

LET'S GO BOLTS!

[Felonious Python]

Great GDT.

[Still All In]

Whatever it takes.

[CommunistDayKare]

Time to die.

[Felonious Python]

All In.

[Tokala]

Bring It Back......yeah, I mean a win!

[The Yzerplan]

Please lose

No point in winning. We are not a playoff team.

[Rangerfans]

Sauer is out with a concussion.

So our defense has gotten significantly weaker.

Ryan McDonagh-Dan Girardi
Michael Del Zotto-Steve Eminger
Jeff Woywitka-Anton Stralman

Turn it around boys...just not tonight

[BoltSTH]

Drinking game for tonight: When we score a goal

I have lot of work to do tomorrow.

[Vasilevski]

over/under 4.5 goals conceded

[AllAbout813]

Alright. Now that I am full on expecting losses right about now it's not going to be so bad when we lose. And if we win then it's just a big surprise; so it's a good position to be in. And let's face it, we are lightning fans, we all know how it is being on major losing streaks. We were built for this .

None the less, go bolts.

[albatross]

And in the if it weren't for bad luck category:

erlendssontrib Erik Erlendsson
Marty St Louis just went off the ice bleeding after taking a puck near his eye during morning skate, was a little wobbly coming off the ice

Tonight is game 500 consecutive games for the little guy too. C'mon Marty!

[IdealisticSniper]

Anybody have any news on Thompson? He left the last game early and didnt come back. Is he ok to play or?

[Felonious Python]

December 8th, 2011. A date which will live in infamy. The Tampa Bay Lightning were suddenly and deliberately attacked by Rangers of the Empire State.

Or maybe they'll wake a sleeping giant.

[LightningStrikes]

Just what we need: Moar injuries!

LightningTimes Damian Cristodero
St. Louis just in wrong place at wrong time as he was hit with a puck off a Dominic Moore hackhander.

erlendssontrib Erik Erlendsson
Nate Thompson was on the ice for #tblightning morning skate but left early

Boucher mad:

LightningTimes Damian Cristodero
To complete an eventful morning, Lightning coach Boucher rips team during an on-ice meeting for lax effort. "It has to be better than this."

DaveLozo Dave Lozo
Guy Boucher at practice repeatedly screaming, "It ain't good enough!" I don't think he's talking about the Three Stooges remake.

DaveLozo Dave Lozo
"If you don't put in the dedication and commitment here, you're of no use to me." Guy Boucher is one displeased coach this morning.

Garon in:

erlendssontrib Erik Erlendsson
Mathieu Garon first goaltender off the ice, looks like he's #tblightning goalie tonight vs #NYRangers

[IdealisticSniper]

Good lord. At this point can we just get to the draft for next year. This is getting ridiculous.

[Felonious Python]

"If you don't put in the dedication and commitment here, you're of no use to me." - Guy Boucher

fantastic

[chasespace]

If there's a weak effort tonight I think Boucher is gonna shake them up big time. Atleast I hope so.

Nate Thompson and Pavel Kubina not expected to play tonight, so team is expected to make a recall of a forward #tblightning

[zeykshade]

No Nate Boucher and no Pavel "I'm slower than Hal Gill" Kubina tonight.

So to replace Thompson? Or maybe kill two birds with one stone and call someone up that can not only replace his skill set but maybe someone you want to see play a game or two in the NHL? Hmmm

Ashton?

Or would they go to the well and call up like Ouellet lol.

I hope for the everyone's sake, they don't recall Jones. They need some fresh blood in there, almost doesn't matter who.

[zeykshade]

Dominic Moore fired the shot that took Down Marty...
