Lightning Don’t Have Much To Offer If They Become Sellers
from Erik Erlendsson of the Tampa Bay Tribune,
Contrary to what many want to think or believe, I don't see Marty St. Louis asking to be moved. He has two more years on his contract after this season, even if the Lightning are in the middle of a transitional phase for the franchise. And I have to believe he will retire as a member of the franchise he has been with for a decade...
Evgeni Malkin scores a goal of the year candidate against Tampa Bay Lightning
After he abused the Tampa Bay Lightning with the goal of the year last season, Pittsburgh Penguins superstar Evgeni Malkin decided that his first game back since suffering a concussion was the right time to do it again. Unfortunately for Tampa Bay, they seem to not have learned their lesson about giving Malkin the puck in space. Lightning defenseman Eric Brewer dove to try and...

Lightning 6 Capitals 3 - Recap
The other day, I noted that there were just too many new faces on this Caps’ team and not enough time for them to learn a new system. Tonight, it seemed truer than I ever thought it was as they were doubled up by the Tampa Bay Lighting 6-3. Let’s get to the notes and breakdown.

Brewer notches pair as Lightning top Capitals
TAMPA -- Eric Brewer hadn't scored two goals in a game since 2004 or even reached the net once in 50 games. But the Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman's two scores not only bookended a 6-3 season-opening win over the Southeast Division rival Washington Capitals on Saturday, it had him thinking about leveraging his fortune while it lasted. First, he said he would remind teammate...
Rapid Rewind: Shocked. Capitals 3, Lightning 6

Don’t panic. The Washington Capitals lost their opening game of the 2013 season on Saturday night, conceding three power play goals en route to a 6-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. With a new coach, a new system, and a lockout hanging over their heads, the Caps were terrible in their own zone and suffered the consequences of such sloppy play. Joel...

Idiot Flyers fan’s customized Wayne Simmonds jersey: ‘The Black Guy’ (pic)
Hoo boy. Way to class it up there, guy. Yeesh. A fitting punishment for this dolt’s terribly insensitive and inappropriate customized jersey would be to allow Wayne Simmonds do what the Philadelphia Flyers forward did to Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Eric Brewer earlier this season, although I imagine Simmonds would likely do what I’m doing [...]

Lightning must adapt without injured D
As the halfway point of the 2011-2012 season nears, things haven't changed much for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who are 15-17-3. They're still losing, and at least one of their goaltenders is still having problems keeping the puck out of the net.
On Tuesday -- at least for the short-term -- it got worse.
Top-two defensemen Victor Hedman and Eric Brewer went down with injuries...

Fixing The Bolts
from Tom Jones of the St. Petersburg Times, Here are five things the Lightning can do to salvage the season.
FIND A GOALIE
Last season’s savior, Dwayne Roloson, above, is either in an awful slump or the 42-year-old’s age has finally caught up with him. His leaky goaltending has gone on too long, and the season is getting too deep to be patient any longer. And it’s hard to...
