Tampa Bay Lightning: Get Pumped Up For Game Day With A Little Halestorm (Video)

The Tampa Bay Lightning are headed into a crucial Game 4 against the Pittsburgh Penguins, and we’ve got the perfect thing to get fans hyped up for Game Day.

Those of you who have been readers of ours for quite some time now may remember a little article we did about the song that gets us pumped up for Game Day. While the song we listed in the previous article is still one of our go-to songs when we need a little pick me up, we heard something today that will totally rock your Bolt Blue socks off.

Now, as any good Tampa Bay Lightning fan knows, the Lightning have reached a crucial point in their series with the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Lightning started off the series with a bang. Despite losing Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop in the first period of the Game 1 of the 2016 Eastern Conference Final, the Lightning were able to battle back and defeat the Penguins 3-1 at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh.

Unfortunately, as we all know, the next two games in the series were not exactly kind to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The more demoralizing of the last two games had to be Game 3 here at the Amalie Arena in sunny Tampa, Florida. No matter how hard they tried, the Tampa Bay Lightning simply couldn’t get on the same page and it showed on the ice. Things need to change, and they need to change right now.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have reached a crucial turning point in the series. There are two ways tonight can play out. The first option is the Tampa Bay Lightning continue to play the way they have over the course of the last two games and head back to the Steel City with a 3-1 deficit and have to fight tooth and nail to stay in the postseason, or they can focus on the task at hand and really bring it to the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight.

As many sports fans know, most professional athletes have something they always do before a game. Whether it is taking a nap, throwing on a particular piece of clothing, or even listening to some of their favorite music to get them pumped up to go out there and perform to the absolute best of their abilities. There is just one question that remains. What do fans do to get hyped up for Game Day?

Certainly, it takes a lot of preparation to get as wild and crazy as some of us here in the Bolts Nation do when our Boys in Blue take the ice. Well, we believe we have found the perfect song to get everyone here in the Bolts Nation hyped up and ready to go when the Tampa Bay Lightning take the ice tonight.

The song comes from a band named Halestorm. For those of you who aren’t really into the rock scene, allow us to assure you they are amazing. The song is called Mayhem and it’s off their latest CD “Into The Wild Life.”

There is one particular verse of the song that simply resonates with us when it comes to what it feels like to be at a Tampa Bay Lightning game and get caught up in the heat of the moment; especially that moment when the goal horn sounds and the Tampa Bay Lightning add another goal to the board.

"“I wanna feel the chaos…I wanna hear the uproar…A little pandemonium…I know I’m not the only one…I wanna be blown away…I wanna feel the walls shake…”"

We know we can’t be alone here when the Lightning score a goal or someone like Victor Hedman or Jason Garrison makes a huge hit, a feeling resonates through you and lights that little fire in your soul that makes you want to scream at the top of your lungs for your favorite team.

Hopefully, our song selection does for the rest of the Bolts Nation what it does for us. Heading into a game like tonight, the Tampa Bay Lightning are going to need their Thunder now more than ever.

So, if you are one of the 19.000 plus people who will be packed into the Amalie Arena tonight, or if you’re one of the hundreds of people who will be watching from the plaza, don’t hesitate to cause a little mayhem and really bring it tonight.
