Previous Meetings this Season: November 18th 2010 (8-7) W October 14th 2010 (3-2) W

Boucher: "(Tonight) is huge," Boucher said. "This is an opportunity to test ourselves. It's important that as a team we prove to ourselves that we're either closer or further away than we thought." Gagne: "The last 30 games are going to be a battle," left wing Simon Gagne said. "It's playoff time. It may not be playoffs for real, but all these games are do-or-die and make a difference in the end." "They're first (in the East), and we're second right behind them," said Gagne, who was traded to Tampa Bay last summer after 11 seasons with Philly. "At some point you want to play against the best and see where you're at. You want to know if the way we play is at the level to play against the best."

LETS GO BOLTS!

As if facing the Flyers, on a 10-2-0 run and with a league-best 37 road points, isn't enough, Tampa Bay might be without forward Ryan Malone (mid-body injury), and defensemen Mattias Ohlund (knee) and Mike Lundin (mid-body injury).

Though both blue-liners said they will be ready, Boucher said callups from AHL Norfolk were possible.

[CommunistDayKare]

Ohlund too?

EE has posted earlier on twitter that he expected him to play

[Astraphobia Catalyst]

Given how most people think our new jerseys look Cartoon super heroish I thought this would be appropriate.



VS



We have won twice with Smellis, so we should be able to win with Roli. Phili is a hot team right now and so are we. should be a good tilt.

[Maelmoor]

Flyers is the best team in the league, if we can win against them it would be huge!

[Vasilevski]

If we win great if not no big deal

[LightningStrikes]

They're probably the best team in the league right now. They have six guys over or close to 40 points already (Giroux 47, Richards 47, Carter 45, Briere 44, Leino 36, Hartnell 34) and an amazing depth on D.

I'm really looking forward to this one!

[dbieon12]

Should be a good game. I hope we defend our ice.

[Felonious Python]

No surprises in net for either team.

Bobrovsky v Roloson.

Heading down tonight with some friends.

I think this has the makings of a titanic game tonight, though, titanic lead-ins to games hardly pan out...

[Tom Pyatt]

Let's beat these ****ers.

[Skip Bayless]

6-5 Tampa This is a huge week for us, if we can get 2 wins out of our next 3 we'll be fine. Lets prove to everyone we're not about to go on a slide!

[HangingWithMrCooper]

I expect some rusty play out of both teams. That said, effort will carry the day. If Boucher can get maximum effort out of the team I expect us to take the game.

[vinnythe deuce]

Per EE
Ohlund & Lundin In
Malone Out

[Vasilevski]

Lund In

[Still All In]

This is going to be a brawl.

[EvanOberg]

LETS GO LIGHTNING! LETS GO LIGHTNING!!:handclap :

I feel safer already.

Thanks Homeland Security!

[LightningStrikes]

*.me is the Internet country code top-level domain for Montenegro so they should be safe for now. Strangely enough there's another return of ATDHE at http://88.80.11.29/.

What's amusing is that the .me site tries to calm everybody down, and continues providing what they had their .com taken down for.

Atdhe is the tv equivalent of wikileaks.
