Not mileage, but he does get a per diem, a hotel room for up to 21 days, and a mid-size rental car!

this was sparked by a question from @berkshire.bsky.social earlier, but if you have any other favourites or there writing about hockey, let me know and i'll add them go.bsky.app/2dVcfev

The fifth and final card. Dylan Duke Young Guns. Nice. Gotta love the rookie cards.

Card number 4. Darren Raddysh warning everyone he's about to unleash a 95 mph shot in their direction.

Card number 3. The Big Cat, Andrei Vasilevskiy. This gets a "meh" from us. A little too busy. Also, there is a 43% chance that the puck hits the edge of his glove.

It's a wonderful day! Upper Deck Series 1 is on the shelf. Let's see which #GoBolts cards we picked up in the first box of the year.

First up..Brandon Hagel looking a little Christian Slater-ish in his Pink Dazzlers insert.

Update: #GoBolts Coach Jon Cooper postgame said the hope is Crozier will be OK. But sounds like the defenseman will miss at least some time:

“Do I think he’s going to play in the next game? No, I don’t.”

#GoBolts  defenseman Max Crozier will not return tonight due to injury (undisclosed), per the Lightning.

As if the Bolts wouldn't turn over their possession.

Eh. One point in that building is fine. Lightning get 3 out of 4 on the first half of the road trip.

I'm hindsight, sure, but Jake would have been on a breakaway against a tired line with a chance for a back-breaking shortie.

Love the play, but the execution has to be better.

Lightning were inches away from a short-handed breakaway, but the puck doesn't get out, Tom Wilson deflects it home from a Strome shot. Yaaaay.
rawcharge.com
Put the puck on net and good things happen. Point with the deflection on the power play. It's 2-1 Bolts eeeeeearrrllly in the third period.

Felt that one coming. Nice play by McMichael to see Protas behind him. Vasy assumes (incorrectly) that McMichael is bringing the puck behind the net and is looking the wrong way when the shot comes in.

His development has stalled over the last year. His offensive instincts have gotten a little better, but defensively he looks lost out there from time to time.

That wonderful second period stretch of hockey where the Lightning decide that shooting pucks ON net isn't that important.

Wakey Wakey Eggs and Jakey! It's 1-0 Bolts.
