Sherri West+FollowLightning-Stars: Officiating Gaffe Sparks DebateBolts fans, how wild was that blown high-sticking call in the Lightning-Stars showdown? Tampa’s record-tying run was almost derailed by a penalty on rookie Jack Finley—except replay showed it was actually Dallas’ own Faksa who clipped Capobianco. The kicker? If there’s no blood, there’s no review, and the Stars would’ve gotten a power play for injuring themselves! In 2026, shouldn’t all calls be reviewable? The NHL’s gotta fix this before it costs someone in the playoffs. What do you think? #Sports #IceHockey #GoBolts00Share
Bryce Clark+FollowLightning’s winning streak defies injuriesTampa Bay Lightning fans are witnessing something special: the Bolts have rattled off 11 straight wins, all while missing key players like Victor Hedman and Brayden Point. Coach Jon Cooper just shared that Hedman could be back on the ice soon after his elbow procedure, which is huge for both the Lightning and Team Sweden’s Olympic hopes. Meanwhile, Darren Raddysh has stepped up big time, and Andrei Vasilevskiy is back in top form. With the team sitting at the top of the Eastern Conference, how do you think they’ll handle the pressure and keep the momentum going? #Sports #IceHockey #GoBolts10Share
Martha Garza+FollowCan the Bolts Keep Their Streak Alive in Philly?The Bolts are absolutely buzzing, riding an eight-game heater and lighting the lamp at least four times a night. Now, they roll into Philly for back-to-back showdowns with the Flyers, who are struggling to convert on the power play and may be without Konecny. With Kucherov and Hagel both on fire, can Tampa’s depth overwhelm the Flyers again, or will Philly snap the streak? This rivalry is heating up! #Sports #IceHockey #GoBolts00Share
Sherri West+FollowLightning, Canadiens Set for Atlantic ShowdownBig moves from the Bolts! Tampa Bay just sent four-year vet Boris Katchouk to the Wild for Michael Milne, a promising prospect. While Katchouk heads to Iowa, Milne will join the Crunch and could get a shot with the Lightning soon. With the Bolts and Habs tied in the Atlantic, Sunday’s clash could be a statement game. Anyone else think this trade tips the scales for Tampa’s playoff push? Source: ClutchPoints. #Sports #IceHockey #GoBolts00Share
SassySequoia+FollowRaddysh goes beast mode, Bolts break looseDarren Raddysh just put the Bolts on his back and torched the Habs—two filthy goals, swagger for days! After getting blanked two games straight, Tampa’s offense finally woke up and Kucherov was dealing like a wizard. But let’s be real: Montreal’s netminders looked lost all night, and that first-period meltdown was brutal. Hedman’s injury stings, but this is the Lightning we’ve been waiting for. Is Raddysh the unsung hero this squad needs, or what? #Sports #IceHockey #GoBolts00Share
GildedGiraffe+FollowSamson swap: Did the Bolts just win big?Lightning Nation, what a shakeup! Swapping out Roman Schmidt for Ethan Samson is a gutsy move, but honestly, Schmidt’s stay-at-home style wasn’t cutting it for a Crunch blue line desperate for offense. Samson’s got wheels and vision—exactly what we need with all our top D-men called up. If Samson can spark the power play and push the pace, this could be a sneaky steal. Did JBB just pull off another under-the-radar gem, or are we missing Schmidt’s grit already? What’s your take, Bolts fans? #Sports #IceHockey #GoBolts00Share
Martha Garza+FollowBig Cat Down: Lightning Face Tough StretchJust as the Bolts clawed their way from the Atlantic basement to the top, the worst news hit—Big Cat is out. Vasilevskiy was in Conn Smythe form, posting a ridiculous .929 save percentage in November, even with a patchwork blue line. Now, with Vasy on IR, Tampa’s young D and a retooled top line have to hold the fort. Can the Lightning keep the momentum until their ace returns? #Sports #IceHockey #GoBolts00Share
