The New Jersey Devils took the first game of their playoff series with the Bolts, and somewhere Elaine’s boyfriend Putty is high fiving somebody in celebration. The two things most people pointed to as the Bolts’ weaknesses prior to the playoffs, their penalty killing and goal keeping, proved to be their undoing in Game One. Game Two is Saturday at 7 pm in Jersey.
- (Glass Half Full) After last night’s game the Bolts Blog still thinks the Lightning will win in 6. Bolts Blog argues that despite never leading the game Tampa Bay was never out of the game, thanks in part to the fourth line. Optimism is nice but the Bolts must have pooched the game somehow.
- (Glass Half Empty) Here’s some of the fire and brimstone I was looking for, Erin’s Lightning Blog takes the Bolts to task for their mistakes. From Holmqvist to Lecavalier, no one is safe from Erin’s wrath.
- (Crawford Did What?) The Bolts weren’t the only team from Tampa Bay to lose last night, as the Rays let a win slip away from them in Minnesota. With the score tied in the 9th Carl Crawford gets a bit greedy in his base running, and creates two easy outs for the Twins. By the by, with it being Jackie Robinson week did you know the Rays have more black players (6) than any other MLB team?
- (You May Already Be a Winner) The NFL Draft is two weeks away and BucStats.com is holding a contest for the event. If you guess the most Bucs draft picks correctly you can win a gift certificate to BucGear.com (with second prize getting a spiffy looking Buc’s Draft day hat). Considering Gruden is at the helm you can’t go wrong just picking either quarterbacks or receivers in all seven rounds.
