Tampa Bay Lightning

Here’s something to ruin your day: Prior to last night’s game vs WPG, when Pontus Holmberg scored at least one goal the Tampa Bay Lightning were unbeaten in regulation. 15 games w/ a goal ➡️ 13-0-2. 🤯⚡️ Now it’s 13-1-2. ——— #GoBolts

The Tampa Bay Lightning have had an extraordinary start to the '26-27 season. Amidst perhaps the most chaotic, nationally-publicized drama this current team has ever seen, they’ve managed to keep their heads down & grind out victory-after-victory-after-victory. This past week, they won 3 of their 4 games, collectively outscoring their opponents 15-10—a great week of hockey! If we step back & look at the whole year though, the start gets even crazier: ▪ 17 games into this 2026-27 season, the Lightning are 11-4-2 (24 standings points), which is tied for the FIFTH-best start to a season in franchise history. ▪ Additionally, the Lightning have scored 63 goals through 17 games, which is tied with 2019-20 for the THIRD-most to begin a year. ▪ Also, the Lightning’s goal differential through 17 games is +11, which is better than FIVE of the last SIX seasons at the 17-game mark—only 2024-25 had a higher differential (+13). I bring up those statistics as a way to illustrate just how impressive this team has been. The Lightning are sprinting through some of the muckiest waters they’ve been in, and they’re doing it seemingly undeterred. Credit to Jon Cooper & the leaders in that dressing room…what would’ve surely crippled most NHL organizations has seemingly only made the Lightning stronger. Let’s take a deeper look into this team & into this past week! [LINK IN THREAD] ——————— #GoBolts

i love tampa bay lightning hockey where we can beat the (current) second best team in the league with our backup goalie but, with our main vezina-winning goalie, we flop and flail miserably against the team ranked 22nd

Fellas… My thoughts for you after game 17 - First, if rooting for the Buffalo Sabres was easy… everybody would do it. Major come down after the Columbus win. But I still haven’t heard no bell yet. This is why we hold the line. - The Sabres lost last night because they again did not execute on the PP. They had Vegas on the ropes.. and the choked. This is a common theme from this group so far this year. IMO it’s on Dahlin and Thompson. Big boys have to be big boys a man up. Makar and MacKinnon were terrible on the PP together last year for Colorado. This year they found something. Sabres big boys have not take a step up they’ve taken a step back. - A lot of #heat coming for Coach Ruff. Craig Rivet called in and it sounds like he will be applying the #heat to the staff on his pod today so excited to hear that. But IMO you can’t kill Ole’ Lindy Ruff just yet. The only thing I’ve disagrees with Coach Ruff on is the line combos. But to defend him the roster is littered with true centers got no choice to put them at wing. When the day comes I will be advocating for Jay McKee to step in. But that day is not today. - Colton Ellis great again… still think he’s hot but we’re getting close to real deal territory. Gotta win one for the guy. - Boo birds work up Jack Eichle and Mitch Marner. I can understand why some fellas might hate the guy… but that was the past we must look #forward - Ryan McLeod in the press box again last night. He’s too good a player to be there. I’m sure Jarmo K has gotten some calls on that something’s coming. - Reminder Sabres needs are a heavier player who can score some garbage goals, a Russian and I’m now going to add a veteran leader/presence. They’re too young. - Finally Doug Allen 0-2 on the year. Still think he needs more minutes and is an everyday NHLer. Like Colton Ellis This team just refuses to play well in front of the guy. Big one coming up. When it’s the Tampa Bay Lightning it’s #personal #LetsGoBuffalo
