GARTH: Roberts Mea Culpa
Gary Roberts didn't back down from any opponent in his 21 seasons in the NHL. Roberts could kill you with his silky mitts, or, his gnarled up fists.

Ryan Suter Better Off in Tampa Bay
If Tampa Bay is not going to have any big names or stars on the blue line then they need to be sure their third defensive pairing is going to be at the same talent level as their first. Tallying a total of 19 goals between ten defensemen is pathetic.

The Tampa Bay Lightning forward scored the goal...
