The weekend is here! Bolts fans definitely have a lot of look forward to this weekend. Besides, chilling and relaxing here in the sun in Hockey Paradise, we have a game to look forward to.
Our Tampa Bay Lightning is going to be cruising into Sunrise to face off with the Florida Panthers for the third and final time this preseason. Then, the real fun starts.
We have officially hit the one week mark until the start of the season! That’s right Bolts fans, we are just a Radko Gudas away from the official start of the 2013-14 Tampa Bay Lightning hockey season!
As usual, there is a lot to discuss this week. Between our spectacular showing thus far in the preseason, the impending start of the regular season, and the inevitable naming of our new captain…this is going to be a busy week.
So, let’s get down to business here. Without further ado, I give to you this week’s Tweets of the Week from in and around the Bolts Nation.

Fewest (1): #NHLJets, #Flyers, #Isles, #NYR
Most (5) #Bruins, #Oilers, #TBLightning
That is such a beautiful thing to see. Anytime the Lightning find themselves in a Win column is a good day for me.
Fantasy team name: Killorn me softly. I both am and am not proud of that. #TBLightning

There are no words for the amount of awesome in this.

Thank God! We can’t have Bugsy start out the season on the injured list. That would just suck.
Love this line! #Panik #Palat #tylerjohnson #tblightning http://t.co/YPOXuDgnni

Me too. There’s a lot of potential in that pairing.
I kinda like those games that comes down to the last minute. They keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

I really like this kid. There are very good things in his future. He has the potential to be the next Martin. St. Louis.
#TBLightning and #Rays win!
— Trouble (@TroubleInTampa) September 27, 2013
It was definitely a good day in Tampa Bay! Both teams have bright outlooks for the rest of their respective seasons.
Tonight's #TBLightning goalscorers: Johnson, Panik, Kucherov. Savoring this.

It’s amazing what good things can happen when you have organizational depth.
The first period SOG for the #Bolts this preseason have been not so good...but the comebacks have been on point. #TBLightning
— Michelle Marie (@mich_mariexo) September 27, 2013
While I would like to see a more consistent game throughout, as long as they keep putting points in the win column, it’s all good.

Just think about this…it can only get better from here.

Oh, boys and their sports. 🙂
You know you’re best friends when…
I think that is a beautiful place to leave this for this week. Now that image will remains stuck in your heads for as long as it’ll be trapped in mine. *evil laugh*
