The last time the Lightning & Canucks met (March 19, 2026) the result was 6-2 Bolts beatdown, and Hagel embarrassed Lankinen w/ this dagger of a shot.

If you've followed me for really any amount of time, you're probably aware I'm a big fan of Emil Lilleberg. Yes, I think he should consistently be in the lineup; yes, even over guys like Crozier & D'Astous (as much as I like those guys).

The consensus I've seen from last night's game is he was bad—which I obviously disagree with!

Here's a one minute compilation showing why I like Lilleberg & the way he plays:

• He's physical, aggressive
• Quick decisions with puck
• Simple, consistent style of play

Let's talk⬇️
I showed you why I like him; now you tell me why you don't.

Hopefully no one comments, because No. 78 is the man & he deserves to be loved by Bolts Nation. by @boltsbreakdown

To find his last overtime winner (before last night), you’d have to go back 1,718 days: February 1, 2022.

Victor Hedman isn't getting the credit he deserves for this play. So, I slowed it down so the world can see his brilliance.

1️⃣ He's aware of where everyone is at all times.
2️⃣ He battles & protects in the corner.
3️⃣ He is quick to the loose puck, still aware of everyone & everything.
4️⃣ He executes a perfect backhand clear

Then, Brandon Hagel does the rest...and credit to Hags! It was his fastest burst of the season (21.97MPH)...

But, this play simply does not happen without the captain.

The Lightning lost their season-opener in embarrassing fashion. Since then, they’ve won four straight games & outscored their opponents 15-7.

Nikita Kucherov has been at the center of all of it.

The Lightning weren’t perfect in the final 40 minutes of the Bolts/Isles game, but a win is a win. These lessons are better learned now, anyways.

The Lightning held 64% of the scoring chances in the first period, but only 39.82% the rest of the way.

No team has recorded more shutouts against the Tampa Bay Lightning than daggum New York Islanders (13).

Last season, Dominic James was the only forward on the Lightning to score against the Islanders—and he did it with the bubble!

Happy Gameday, Bolts Nation! Here’s to better results this year🍻

I’ve consistently said Gage Goncalves is underrated & underappreciated.

🎥: Here’s 17 seconds showing just one reason why I’m so high on him: Gonzo is extremely intelligent & very disruptive.

He wasn’t on the scoresheet last night, true. Fans will complain & say he’s not doing much, also true.

But I want to talk to the person who can watch this video and Carlson’s first goal & still say Gonzo isn’t a dog.

Time to put some respect to his name!
