Game Recap: TB 3 - OTT 4 (OT)
The Bolts dropped their 7th straight tonight in Ottawa. They had a 2 goal lead at two points in this game, but it was not enough. The Sens forced overtime, and snuck one by Holmer to get the 2 points. Lightning goals came from Vinny, Marty and Hlavac.
What to take away from this one:
1. The Bolts got a point in the standings
2. They had a 2 goal lead twice in the game
3. The core responded big again (Vinny 1G,1A, Marty 1G,1A)
4. They got secondary scoring from Hlavac
5. Goaltending from Holmer was pretty decent
It's hard to take away positives from a 7th consecutive loss, but at this point I feel that's what we need to do. Sometimes it's just not your day, in terms of this team, it just hasn't been their season. Not that the Bay area hasn't been through this before. How many seasons have the Bucs missed the playoffs after winning the division the year before? It happens.
I've seen people on boards refer to the Lightning as "The Dolts", calling for Torts and Feaster's head, etc, etc, etc. What's the point of that? We as Lightning fans are all frustrated, but come on. You have the best player in the league in Lecavalier working his tail off every night, and putting up league leading points. Dolts? Vinny 4 deserves a bit better, don't ya think?
Who's at fault for this season will be a decision left up to possibly the new ownership when it takes over, and the upper management. Until then, support your Bolts, look at what they are doing right, analyze what they could be doing better, and enjoy NHL hockey in your sunny back yard.
