The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Syracuse Crunch both played Saturday night. Both teams’ social media was then appropriately filled with reactions yesterday. However, given the outcomes of each of those games, the tones of those reactions was rather....different.
First up, the Lightning’s energetic response to their 8-2 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets lit up their social media for most of the day:
Lightning assistant coach Jeff Halpern was pleased with the feel and the pace of the team’s game.
Brayden Point was clearly happy with the chemistry between himself, Steven Stamkos, and Yanni Gourde.
