@erikerlendsson.bsky.social#GoBolts overtime win vs Seattle wasn't just an ordinary October victory, it was special not only because of who scored the winner, but how Victor Hedman scored it. The goal carried a much deeper meaning for #TBLightning and their captain

@metricsarena.comTwo of Seattle's three goals came from the third line, but Tampa controlled the play, 61-47 in shot attempts. Hagel's brace and a Catton shot off the iron were enough to tip the Lightning past the Kraken in overtime.
@metricsarena.comKraken vs Lightning: every skater's Game Grade, sorted into tiers.
@metricsarena.comGrubauer keeps Seattle within a goal in Tampa, turning away the Lightning's pressure in the second period while Hagel has rung one off the post. The Kraken are still very much in this game.
@metricsarena.comSeattle's fourth-line forward Ryan Winterton opened the scoring in Tampa, beating Vasilevskiy at even strength. Brandon Hagel has the Lightning back level 1-1 in the second period, with 18:13 left.
@jasonwoods.bsky.social#tblightning Another dogshit power play.
@erikerlendsson.bsky.social#GoBolts have recalled Dominic James from Syracuse after sending G Mads Sogaard back to the Crunch earlier today. Expect to see James in #TBLightning lineup tomorrow against Seattle
@erikerlendsson.bsky.social#TBLightning returned to Broadway for the first time since bombing out opening night only to have the return engagement flop as well on a night described as "dreadful'' that saw #GoBolts main piece sat down for half a period

@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialWhile the formula didn't quite keep the same recipe, the end result was the same for #GoBolts as Vasilevskiy's game-shifting stop leads to late-game Hagel hat trick heroics as #TBLightning bank two points to start brief road trip bit.ly/4rZ64KQ

@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialDuring homestand sweep, #GoBolts found the formula of GL+EL+PL=V to turn things around quickly from opening night, plus what Dominic James's assignment to Syracuse means and why Nikita Kucherov missed Friday's #TBLightning practice bit.ly/4y5ZDH7
@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialAs far as debuts go, it was a dandy for Dennis Hildeby in net for #GoBolts and the power play finally comes through with John Carlson delivering to lead #TBLightning to a homestand sweep bit.ly/4yewUQD
@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialDominic James a full practice participant while Emil Lilleberg is in a no-contact jersey after missing Monday’s game as #GoBolts prepare to host Minnesota on Wednesday. Jansen Harkins, who was placed on waivers Tuesday, also practicing today #TBLightning
@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialThe new #TBLightning tone setters again set the tone that when #GoBolts work hard, sometimes they get some results and for the second consecutive game, they worked hard and on Monday they got the result bit.ly/3VuLiXi

@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialEmil Lilleberg out tonight, day to day but might miss a week, Dominic James will be day to day after tonight’s game, Crozier draws in as #GoBolts will go 11-7 again vs Flyers #TBLightning
@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialSaturday was only the second game of the season, but #GoBolts response from game one showed some early signs of quick growth and perhaps a sign of a familiar team identity. "You learn a little bit about your team, and we learned some tonight'' #TBLightning

@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialOpening night for #TBLightning started on the first of October but the game was more suited for a showing on All Hallows' Eve. Yeah, it was pretty scary all around for #GoBolts but fortunately it was just one game lightninginsider.com/game-recaps/...
@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialAs #GoBolts Victor Hedman gets set to begin his 18th season with #TBLightning, he's slimmer, trimmer and shows a renewed focus after taking a step away last season. A "few blessings in disguise" helped fuel his offseason preparation
