Last night the Tampa Bay Lightning snapped the four game OT loss slide, by winning in OT against the Leafs 2-1. Vinny Lecavalier and Ryan Malone had the 2 goals for our squad, which was enough to squeak by the slumping Leafs. According to the Twitter account of our General Managers...

Tonight the Bolts lost to the Philadelphia Flyers in a 6 to 2 rout. If you watch the highlights from tonights game, you will see that it wasn’t all poor goal tending that got us into this mess. Our defense didn’t do much to help in the way of stopping some of the best...

In what is becoming a really alarming oddity, the Lightning lost last night 2-1 in a shootout, their 4th shootout loss this season. If you combine that with the fact that we had the most shootout losses last year, and an alarming trend starts to surface.
Besides being outshot by...

I hate being the front office bashing type. Normally, I like giving front offices the benefit of the doubt, and letting them show me why they are GM’s and I’m just some jamoke who writes for a website. There are a couple things though, even with the much improved play...

Tonight the Tampa Bay Lightning lost to the Carolina Hurricanes in a shootout. The final score was 2 to 1. For some reason, unknown to all lightning fans, the second game of the season was not televised so I can’t do too much commenting on how we played. We had 30 shots on net, compared [...]

I also wanted to throw up a good fight from last nights game. Zenon Konopka fought a much bigger Chris Thorburn, and held his own. Zenon is not afraid of a soul, big or small, and should have lots of these video clips this year.

I’m not sure if anyone would look at the score of the Bolts game from last night and think that we are headed in a direction any different from last year, but I must tell you, we certainly are. Losing 6-3 was, to say the least, disheartening, but if you look deeper at the stats, [...]

Marty St Louis scored last night with 6 seconds left in OT to give the Lightning a thrilling OT victory vs the Edmonton Oilers.
The Lightning had to kill off two penalties in OT in order to get the victory. The Bolts PK unit, one of the teams real weak points last year, has been stellar [...]

I’ve had season tickets to the Lightning for 5 years now. I can’t recall ever going to a preseason game. I might have been to a few and they were just so nondescript that I don’t have any recollection of it. Friday night though, in our first and only preseason...

Not that this should come as any surprise, because the NHL is not the NFL, but yesterday Victor Hedman signed his standard NHL Rookie Contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning. I guess it holds more of a symbolic meaning for me personally, as I’m pinning a lot of my future hope in...
