@JeffreyGiarriz1 @957WDAE @TKras Have to hold onto the younger players. James for sure.

@957WDAE @TKras End of an era if they lose? No. End of the roster as constructed? For sure. Bagel, Cirelli, Moser under contract for a while and that's good. Anyone else should be traded if an overwhelming package was offered. Example: Lightning getting a bunch of first round picks for Point.

Do you believe in the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight? If it’s a loss, is this the end of an era? @TKras says yes, it is. #GoBolts

@CrashGladys I think Elvis made plenty of women faint on site ... that's all you see in the old footage of his early days

Before Taylor & after Elvis: Michael Jackson. TBH, I’m not sure Taylor or Elvis made fans faint on site. Regardless what you think, MJ’s talent was ridiculously insane, his live performances would still hold up today & he had the most diehard fans!🤯 x.com/auntyadaa/stat…

@BenjaminJReport Is anyone still sick? Heard reports the other day.

@BoltsBreakdown Im betting on another 3-2 game

My game six prediction: a 3-0 Andrei Vasilevskiy shutout. Tommy says 6-2 Bolts. What is your GM6 prediction?!

@AndrewMentock What happened?

Notre Dame safety Joey O’Brien, a five-star in the class of 2027, used crutches to walk off the field after Saturday’s Blue-Gold Game. He just posted this photo to his Instagram stories.

@SamuelBCohen I dont think the majority of people discredit the Habs, but the effort by the Bolts was lacking. They were not sharp. Leaving oucks sit behind the goal on miscommunication.. bad passes. Lazy turn overs. That's the criticism.

A lot of people (myself included) are quick to blame the #GoBolts effort last night. We all need to collectively take a step back and realize, the Habs deserve credit for playing better hockey. They’ve been better on FOs, Blocking Shots, line changes, etc. They deserve credit.

@wlesch2006 @IdkHowToNameTBL 71 can go. What's he done. Keep 17

@IdkHowToNameTBL Keep 38,59,71,90. Anyone else, I mean anyone, can go if the price is right.

Whether we win this series or not, changes have to be made. Whether it be coaching or trading players.

@AJBolts Yeah he did say they wete sloppy. But I didnt get the sense he was happy about that, more disappointed. Like he expected more.

@indytwo He certainly enjoyed talking about Tampa not doing well

ESPN leaving this game, the pivotal game of the best series of the playoffs, to Steve levy and TJ Oshie on ESPN 2 is certainly a choice

@scrotusIII @sgreene533 @PierreVLeBrun @TheAthletic Perry is old. But we purposely got him for this moment. We need to look at new blood and younger. Can't keep getting yesterdays success story in players.

NEW for @TheAthletic, the Lightning need some of their top veteran stars to step it up or else a fourth consecutive first-round awaits. It starts with Nikita Kucherov ⤵️⤵️ nytimes.com/athletic/72426…

@sgreene533 @PierreVLeBrun @TheAthletic Paul didnt play last night.

@PierreVLeBrun @TheAthletic He’s not alone?.. where’s n the fuk has Cirelli ….Point been?..Nick Paul? wtf

@JacksonB_99 Hags. James, guntzel and actually borkstrand were the ones I noticed hustling. Bork can't score but effort was there.

Last night’s game was very deflating. Nobody outside of a handful of players looked like they ever got out of second gear during the entire duration of the game. Really, really disheartening. A potential elimination game in Montreal is about as worst case scenario as imaginable.

@ECloskyWTSP Wow. Someone should figure this out

On March 17, the Tampa Bay Lightning scored 2 goals in SEA in 1st period. Led game 2-0 entering 2nd. Since then, a span of 21 games, the Bolts have not scored 2 goals in a 1st period. They have lost the 1st by a combined 20-9 score. Have not won a 1st in 20 straight games.

@Lady_Laurie_Qc @WeTheThunderPod Bro give him a break. Trying to make sense of a 4 year collapse. If blue or yellow towels help, then by all means we need them.

@WeTheThunderPod Blaming the color of the towel 🤣 Maybe it’s your team! 🤣

As mentioned by Thomas Schooley last night WHY does the team insist on WAVING THE WHITE FLAG at home playoff games? We literally have been giving out white towels fan fans to wave...bad omen. We can't think of anything else?

@lafoser2 @Diandra_loux I dont think anyone on the team is discounting the talent and effort of the Habs. But you cant say the effort from the Bolts was worth a damn. And that was his point and focus. Habs are a really good team. Reminds me of a team a few years back.

@Diandra_loux Cute how the bolts just refuse to give any kind of credit to the opponents. Lol

Brandon Hagel on last night’s game: “I just didn't think we executed our game plan, which is sad to be honest, it's Game 5 in your own building to take the series and we didn't give a full 60. I mean, that's cliche to say, but it's more the little mistakes that cost us goals and we’ve got to do better job at that, especially in those situations.” #GoBolts

@Michel36316359 @Chad200 @SchumacherMick @RLLracing @DroplightHQ Only 33 entries.

@Chad200 @SchumacherMick @RLLracing @DroplightHQ Depends, Mick has to reach the top 33 in quali before he can race the Indy!

This will be the first Indy 500 since 1957 without an Andretti, Foyt, or Unser in the field. Coincidentally, it will be the first one in history with a Schumacher behind the wheel. #INDYCAR #INDY500

@813Drew They have not won back to back since 22. Smh.. Hopefully they find a way.

Me realizing we gotta win back to back playoff games for the first time since 2022 to win the series #GoBolts

@Gabby_Shirley_ We have needed guys to step up since game 1. To say that now when facing elimination, seems off. Some players had good game tonight, but point has not been good for a while.

Brayden Point on his play in this series: "We need other guys to score and I haven't been able to do it. It is frustrating but you just try to keep doing the right things and working hard. We're going to need myself and other guys to step up for sure"

@ScribblesFL @Gabby_Shirley_ Its going to take more than that. Lol

@Gabby_Shirley_ Time to trade Point, trade Cernak & Point for McDavid

@WolfSuperblood @Diandra_loux @kuklaskorner Sadly this is true

@Diandra_loux @kuklaskorner They’ve been chasing games since the Olympics. Always behind. Can’t win face offs. Not a championship caliber team and I could see it since Feb.

Jon Cooper on tonight’s #GoBolts loss “Did I think we had our best game? We clearly did not. Is it really disappointing to come home and lose? It is. This is something we should take a ton of pride in and dig our heels in and not accept. Now, listen, we had some chances to tie it, and we hit some posts, but I thought we gave ourself chances to score. We just didn't. Can we do some things better? There's no question, but the fact we kept going down, we had to keep chasing the game. That's not a recipe for success.”
