(Ep. 28) - Let's Talk About The Atlantic Division
Description
This episode of the Bolts Breakdown podcast is a preview discussion of the Atlantic Division before the 2026-27 NHL season.
Boomer and Tommy walk through each of the Lightning’s opponents & discuss last year’s series as well as key additions & subtractions for each club during this offseason.
The episode also highlights recent Lightning news, like Nikita Kucherov’s lack of contract extension & injury updates from the recent Lightning media day (linked below).
Finally, the ThunderBucket prompt concludes the episode: If you could sneak into benchmark International Arena overnight, would you try on ThunderBug’s costume or ride the Zamboni?
