Tonight my team, ( the Tampa Bay lightning), are in action against the New Jersey devils in game 1 of a best of 7 series..

Game starts at 7:10 in Tampa..

Definitely pulling for Tampa Bay in this one!

thanks i thought we played pretty well in game one last night , if not fantastic..
But we ended up winning in the end, 5-2.. so were up 1-0 in games of course with a long ways yet to go..

[brian51]

we took game 2, 5-3
So great start to the series as we won both of our home games and lead 2-0

Boston is doing very well so far in there series with toronto, also ..

[Guardian]

[brian51]

we dropped game 3 tonight 5-2

i think game 4 is wed night in new jersey again..

[brian51]

we bounced back though and won game 4 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over NJ..

[Guardian]

Excellent! Close to making it through.

[brian51]

ya im watching some of the other series tonight..
Pittsburg is up 3-1 on philly in games..
2-2 headed into the final period..
So good finish brewing here , Guardian

[brian51]

we did indeed wrap up are series this afternoon , 3-1, winning the series with NJ ( 4-1 ) ..
so we most likely will play Boston next in the second round.. But a long break now until the rest of the
first round series end,,

[Guardian]

Fantastic! Hopefully they can win this next round.

[brian51]

ya Boston actually lost to toronto last night, even playing at home..
so that series has now been stretched out to 6 games at a minimum...
all good news for us , of course !!

[brian51]

boston lost yet again to toronto in game 6 last night..
so now this sets up a game 7 and final game , on wed. night
this of course is all good news for us as we play the winner of this series

[Guardian]

Let the opponents wear each other down. Sounds like war of attrition. I love it.

[brian51]

we now face Boston , tomorrow at 3 pm east on game 1 in tampa..

[Guardian]

Let's go Lightning!
