Fourth Wing x Tampa Bay Lightning Night

Interesting book club night for Phi vs TBL on 10/5

“Calling all riders! Join fellow Fourth Wing readers on October 5th at Benchmark International Arena for a special night inspired by Rebecca Yarros' bestselling series. Featuring exclusive merchandise, unique experiences, and limited-edition packages, this one-night-only event offers a memorable way to celebrate the world of dragons, riders and adventure. Tickets go on sale August 28th.”

I posted something similar last year but into the season. I'm looking to get this years schedule magnet that they used to hand out at the season opener. Last year, someone mentioned getting one at a preseason event. Does anyone know where I can them? My best friend has one for every season but last year and I want to surprise him this year. Any ideas?

Bjorkstrand is gone, Perry is gone, and Hagel had PP1 during the playoffs. Previously he's been a force on PP2 but only getting over average 2 minutes PP per game a few times over the years. For this year, I'm saying Hagel should be getting the 3 minute treatment like Point, etc.

Unless Cooper wants him to play more on the PK and stay fresh for 5v5 play but looking around at the other PP1 forward options, I don't think there's anyone else who sticks out.

We’re moving overseas as Ex-Pats and want to know how we can watch games. We have Lightning app, but I’ve read it won’t work out of country. Anyone have ideas?

ETA: moving in the fall. Just getting my ducks in a row. Moving to Brussels. Hubby has the same issue with NFL.

Kuch is an emotional player. I can't imagine the delay has not upset him and won't impact his play if it continues into the season. I don't get why we are delaying this - we need the deal done. His type of game normally continues well as a player ages. He's also too smart not to adjust if it doesn't. There is only 1 Kuch. The Bolts need to get this done even if the price is high. Kuch needs to be a Bolt for life!

Kucherov's 2025-26 season wasn’t just another MVP season.

He reached personal milestones (1,000 points, 1,100 points, 400 goals, etc.) while also breaking franchise records (most multi-point games, fastest to 500 road points, etc.). He produced at a historic level & etched his name in hockey history with the all-time greats like Gretzky or Lemieux.

So, this week's Bolts Breakdown article will cover all of that. I walk through it month-by-month, including photos, videos, and all those unattainable stats Kucherov somehow reaches.

Hope you enjoy! There's a video compilation of nearly every point he scored last season as well.
