When Lightning Strikes

I watched the Stadium Series Hockey Game last night between the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning.  It was held in Tampa which was a balmy 38 degrees.  It was a perfect night for outdoor hockey.  The game was terrific and did not disappoint.

Boston dominated the 1st two periods going up 5-1.  Towards the end of the 2nd period there were several skirmishes between the teams which led to a fight between the goalies late in the period (a rarity in the NHL). From that point on the Lightning roared to life.  They tied the game in the third period and then went on to win it with a Jake Guentzel goal in a shootout.

Kudos to both teams and their staffs for a really entertaining game and to everyone involved in putting on an incredible show for hockey fans.  Great job people!!! Loved it!!! 

A Case of the Blues

Congratulations to the St. Louis Blues.  The newest Stanley Cup Champions defeated the Boston Bruins in 7 games.  All of the games in the series were great.  To watch these two clubs play against one another the way they did was phenomenal for hockey fans everywhere.  Jordan Binnington's goaltending in game 7 was insane!  Loved it!

Hockey  is over for now.  Time to get off the couch and actually do stuff.  (I can't wait for hockey to start!)
