Speaking of taxes, do players get to claim a deduction for fines from DoPS? Asking for a friend....

We think Geekie still heads back to Syracuse once Paul and Goncalves are back. They want him to play.

Lightning come back only to blow lead in 8-7 loss Goals for everyone as the Sabres and Lightning entertain the hockey world.

"One of the more entertaining ones". Yup, Coop. That it was. #GoBolts

Tough way to end the road trip, but it was a heck of a game.

In a game with 98 penalty minutes, how does Gourde have 0?

Oh and Dahlin makes it 7-6.

Hagel with the goal to make it 7-5. Kucherov takes a shot to the ribs on the play from Carrick. The Lightning didn't care for it.

It didn't appear to be.

Sam Carrick scores to make it 6-5.

Oh yeah, the Lightning scored again.

So yeah. That was weird. For some reason JoJo chucked his stick into the corner. He ends up making a couple of saves. We rewound the feed a couple of times and it wasn't knocked out of his hands, he just threw it into the corner.

No look pass from Hagel is smoked into the net by Kucherov. 5-4 Lightning.

Depth scoring is so much fun. That's the Geekie we have seen in Syracuse. Uses the body to cause a turnover, then sets up a teammate with a nice pass. Moser ties it up and the building has quieted.

The period starts with Cernak and Kesselring with a fight (nice arm-drag takedown for Cernak). Then, on the next whistle, Beck Malenstyn commits some elder abuse as he cleans Perry's clock with a soild shot in their tussle. Cool.

Lightning down Maple Leafs, 5-2, as Kucherov keeps it 100 Well, that’s a relief. The Tampa Bay Lightning snap their four-game losing streak with a convincing win over a reeling Toronto Maple Leafs squad, 5-2. With four assists, Nikita Kucherov hit the 100…

Yay. A win. #GoBolts

Might have been lost in the madness of the first period, but congrats to #GoBolts forward Brandon Hagel, who earned his 200th NHL assist on the Corey Perry goal.
