Young Bolts Still Learning How To Win Consistently

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 14:05:36 +0000

You get nights light these with a team still trying to figure it out. In a 3-1 loss to a team the Lightning need to learn to squash, Tampa Bay was beaten soundly. It happens in an 82 game schedule, you'll have an off night or two. Even the Penguins have clunkers. For a young hockey team like the Lightning, every single opportunity at two points is crucial. On this night, against the 5-12-5 Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay's top players decided to take a vacation and watched two of those precious standings points disappear. Alex Tanguay, Steven Stamkos, and Ryan Malone had two shots on goal between them. Vincent Lecavalier did put five shots on goal, but he was "Bad Vinny" in this one, not really giving the effort his team knows he can provide. It was a performance where Steve Downie was the best player on the ice for the Lightning. Even Martin St. Louis, who had the Bolts only goal, was missing his usual sparkplug "oomph". "I am a little disappointed in some of the top guys," Tampa Bay ...

Quarter Way Mark

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:38:00 +0000

Ok, lets be honest now...The ending of last season wasn't a fluke and this team is amazingly fast and talented. The scary part—We still have a line that led the team in scoring last year that has eight goals combined on it. Imagine what is going to happen when those goals start coming...yea, it's scary, I know. Lets look at what the Thrashers have accomplished in the first quarter of the season: An impressive 10-6-1 record that has them slotted in 9th in the easy with several games in hand. That's a points percentage of .617. Which means if we keep this pace up the entire season, the boys in blue finish with an astounding 101 points. The PK is finally shutting down opposing Power Plays. Never once in my life did I ever think this organization could boast a PK unit in the top 10 in the league...never! We have and its actually sitting at number four right now Goals against is down under three. That helps when you are scoring at an average of 3.65 goals per game. Amidst all the ...

Could Ilya Kovalchuk's Missed Time Turn Out Better for the Thrashers?

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:18:00 +0000

OK, so I know one game is not an adequate sample size to judge a trend, statistic, or any measurable entity, but last night I saw a Thrashers team that exuded confidence like none before. Hear me out. The Thrashers grabbed the lead 19 seconds into the first period and never looked back. They attacked the net without fear and scored goals we Thrasher fans are so accustomed to watching being scored on us. Examples: Evander Kane converting the steal by Rich Peverley to get us up by two, Ilya Kovalchuk literally walking around on the weak side of the power-play and shelfing the puck, and Peverley banking a shot off a defender for a power-play goal. I'm not used to seeing this as a Thrashers fan, but man I can get used to games like this. The Thrashers have a sense of confidence about them that came about only when Kovalchuk committed himself to this team when he was injured. "They told me I couldn't hurt it anymore, so I decided to go," Kovalchuk said while sporting a walking boot ...
