The Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Colorado Avalanche 8-2 on Monday night. Tampa Bay scored so many times that starting Colorado goalie Justus Annunen was replaced midway through the first period after giving up three goals then had to go back in later in the game after Alexander Georgiev gave up three of his own. Annunen proceeded to give up two more goals.

Here's the bad night in tweet form.
