Assquatch Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 Seriously. They should lose simply for the fact that they are named after the body of water instead of the city. WTF? The city's name is Tampa, not Tampa Bay. And if that's the case, why not have the team nickname be some sort of fierce sea animal instead of some non-pluralisable thing like "Lightning". Don't even get me started about "Bolts" on the third jersey... Drop the damn puck.

BetterDays06 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 Beyond pumped for this game. I hope I can hear the arena loud and clear on tv tonight. Vanek nets 2, myers 1 and pommer 1 for a 4-1 win. Enroth, go for the nhl #1 star of the night :worthy:
Tyrannustyrannus Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 No game this time of year is a gimme. I tend to rate games on who needs it more. The incentive for Tampa (4th place vs 5th, home vs away) simply isn't as great as Buffalo needing to win to stay in the playoffs. I also think (maybe hope is probably more realistic) that Buffalo's crowd will be in full throat. Get the first goal. Goals tonight from Sekera, Gaustad, and Pominville. Any points tonight will be greatly appreciated. Hopefully Sekera scores in the Tampa net this time
Tyrannustyrannus Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 I will miss most of this game with the last of the childbirth classes with my wife. I missed 5 straight Tuesday night games. I hope my kid is born into a world where Buffalo isn't synonymous with losing.
LGR4GM Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 Mike Smith threw a shutout against Hawks. Rolle doing good too. From the St Peters Times today "Lightning G Dwayne Roloson has won his past three starts with a 1.33 goals-against average and .960 save percentage. … Tampa Bay has killed 36 of its past 37 road penalties and 11 of 12 overall this season against the Sabres. … The teams have allowed a combined 27 shorthanded goals. The Lightning's 16 are a league worst. … Tampa Bay LW Simon Gagne has four goals and six assists in a six-game points streak." I am sticking to my guns on this one. Their goalies are hot but I think we can break them. Throw everything at the net and magic will happen. Its my gut instinct here but our team is due for some grade a goal scoring and we saw earlier in the month TB has some issues. Either way I hope montreal loses tonight and then the canes tomorrow. Lets go Buffalo, I want the Stanley cup this year and now!
spndnchz Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 You're flying in from Alberta for this? Edmonton game?
Assquatch Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 Umm, you know the Forum is on Tampa Bay right? Maybe Tampa Bay Scallops? It's "on" Tampa Bay the same way HSBC is "on" Lake Erie. Tampa Bay Krill
That Aud Smell Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 Let's Go Buf-a-LO 1 minute in! nice -- i'll make sure to get the chet-and-muffy section (whose line was that from this board?) into the chant. You're flying in from Alberta for this? ha! i've had several "locations" since i joined this board -- moose jaw, kootenay, and now medicine hat. they're all more metaphysical locations than they are physical locations. i'm walking to the arena after work tonight.
ROC Sabres Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 It's "on" Tampa Bay the same way HSBC is "on" Lake Erie. Tampa Bay Krill St. Louis is too small to be considered as krill.
LET"S GO BUFFALO Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/GARTH/LEOPOLD-DOES-NOT-NEED-SURGERY/6/34978 Go to the bottom of this link if you are not ready for the Playoffs or tonights game and press the play button and enjoy...didn't even know NBC, Versus or the NHL network knew that Buffalo has History
Weave Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 nice -- i'll make sure to get the chet-and-muffy section (whose line was that from this board?) into the chant. TheChimp.
chileanseabass Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 Umm, you know the Forum is on Tampa Bay right? Maybe Tampa Bay Scallops? Technically, it's on one of the channels of the Hillsborough Bay, which separates the peninsula of South Tampa with the "mainland" to the east, with wonderful places likes Gibsonton, home of the famed Lobster Boy and other retired carnival folk. Old Tampa Bay is between Tampa and St. Petersburg/Celarwater, and Tampa Bay separates St. Pete with the area north of Bradenton. It's all the same body of water, but has distinctive names. It's a touchy subject for the natives who generally can't stand the use of the term Tampa Bay. I used to hear this all the time when I lived there for a few years.
NowDoYouBelieve Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 St. Louis is too small to be considered as krill. Of all fans, we don't really have the right to tease the little guy.
ROC Sabres Posted April 5, 2011 Report Posted April 5, 2011 Of all fans, we don't really have the right to tease the little guy. Maybe not, but I would be interested in seeing a fight between Gerbe and St Louis.
