#GoBolts challenging for goaltender interference. Don't think they'll win but worth the risk with 7:09 left

And of course Ottawa takes advantage of a bad penalty call, Stuztle on the rebound

@RalphsMob @sporting_jax 😂

He's right. Our bad, @sporting_jax. Next time we'll sit on our hands and chant "De-Fense" and only do golf claps.

Woohoo!!! Happy Home Opener!!!

M. Shap Co opening day tailgate - trop lot 6 near 1st Ave South across from where Dr. BBQ was. All are welcome.

@TrinityEer @TayVictoria8 @PaulFox13 This x 100. I was a lightning STM for 15 years. I couldn’t tell you a single thing about Amalie outside of my seats and the budlight party deck. I was there for my team and the sport.

@TayVictoria8 @PaulFox13 It’s very functional. I don’t need all the amusement park stuff of newer venues. I’m there to watch a baseball game. Trop does that very well.

If you only know Tropicana Field as a joke, you never really knew it at all. The roof, the catwalks, and the quirks are all easy jabs. But after this past year, I think a lot more people finally understood what Rays fans have known for a long time: it may not have been glamorous, but it took care of this team. And it took care of us, too. Seeing the roof torn apart revealed so much more than a baseball field underneath. It showed what had been taken away, the part that made it feel safe, familiar, and ours. Maybe that’s why so many of us loved it exactly as it was. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours. And while I’m excited for the future, after having to live without it, I think a lot of us are going back with a deeper appreciation for what she means to us. Thank you to everyone who brought her back, and then some. See you tomorrow, sweet dome. #RaysUp

@StadiumShadow The fact they aren’t doing any pregame tailgate events and only “opening” the lot 3 hours prior speaks volumes. Vinik would’ve gone all out.

Rays fans, I think you need to be honest with yourselves: If your new team owners really were all that different than the other 29 profit-chasing cutthroat businessmen…would MLB really have approved the sale?

@TampaSportsGirl Same and it sucks we can’t watch it

@1771Designs I'm a boomer, I have cable.

Are you paying for rays.tv?

Can’t tell you how odd this looks to see the second place team has not clinched a spot while the third place team has. It’s all about the regulation wins and Detroit can mathematically catch Montreal in points and pass them in regulation wins

@813Drew Fatigue is a real possibility the scheudle has been relentless

That 3rd period is just another example of how this Lightning team can switch gears and take over whenever they feel like it. All of these slow starts recently is just fatigue tbh, they have to keep grinding through it for just a few more games #GoBolts

That’s what you get obnoxious visiting fans 😏

Why do opposing visiting fans feel the need to be so loud and obnoxious ?

@TBTimes_Rays @thechrismathis But they won’t announce when the parking lots open🤣 I’ve had 3 employees tell me 3 different times. The fact they aren’t doing something special and opening the lots super early to allow people to celebrate being back is mind blowing. I keep hearing only 2 hours prior.

#Rays announced Monday’s home opener vs. #Cubs is sold out.

@ltw0303 If they showed the games on local tv more fans would be aware. This exclusive streaming experiment is a disaster and will absolutely kill the fanbase and

Rays have lost their identity. Let’s be totally honest if this was New York or Philly ? The heat would be 20 times what it is in Tampa. Questions need to be asked here

Geno 😬

@Anti_G0y_B3am @Erik_Erlendsson But you follow him on Twitter and love his updates. That’s worth it.

@Erik_Erlendsson tbh I would have too if I had remembered to before my card was charged again. I love your work but I haven’t read an article since November

Six year subscriber just cancelled 😞

Did geno just cuss up a storm ?
