I'm annoyed

“Vincent Lecavalier out of his slump” remarks have been popping up. Vinny got goal #1 on the year vs. the Sabres. Don’t you need to actually repeat the feat to suggest that the slump is over?

After all, Tampa is spring home to the Yankees (and the Steinbrenner’s are involved int eh community and the good ol’ boy network locally) and the Phillies have trained in Clearwater for 50 years and have loyalists in the area too.

They’re not overdoing the passing so much as they’re looking for the perfect shot. Just shoot the darned thing. Even if it doesn’t go on net, someone off the Lightning ought to be hanging around the front of the net to try to chip it in.

Got a new (old) idea for a story during the 1st that I need to work on in the comind days

…well, if there is no other news.

When I wrote how I hated the draft this summer, I mentioned a failing by TSN. I think I coudl cease on the point with more central scouting ranking due out in the coming weeks and the WJC’s this winter… That’s when a good deal of the filming of prospects will be done…

Your spelling is really loose today, John. ;o)

I’m still trying to come up with something to write about, but I keep drawing a blank. I keep coming back to the Olympics, so maybe I’ll do something with that. Especially with this sudden rash of Russian players that have gone down due to injury. Vladislav Tretiak, the Team Russia’s GM, must be on the verge of having a heart attack over it.

I just haven’t found much that has sparked my interest. These long layoffs between games doesn’t help, either. It’s not quite “out of sight, out of mind”, but it’s definitely leaning that way some days.

So while the Lightning are winning 1-0 after the first, they’re being outshot 9-5 by Ottawa – Stamkos with two of those for the Bolts. Tampa Bay is rocking the faceoff circles with a team overall 87% winning percentage, tho. Hale’s got two hits, Foster has two giveaways, Hedman with 8:11 of ice time – leading all Lightning players, of course. And Tampa Bay is 1 of 2 on the power play so far.

I have a bowl of candy sitting on my desk at work, so I’m good with the will power when it comes to candy. It currently has Reese’s peanut butter cups and Starburst in it – which my co-workers have thankfully been eating. The more they have, the less that I do. :oD

Didn’t get to see a lot of it, but they played much better than they did last time they played Ottawa. The PP worked pretty good against a very good PK team. That’s a pleasant surprise.

I thought there was more than you're saying

“Flat-footed” seems wrong. I don’t think Ottawa was firing on all cylinders and in teh 3rd both teams looked sloppy… But I thought both teams had jump early on and Ottawa came on strong at the end.

It’s good to see the other liens contributing… though “getting Vinny and Alex started” goes beyond one goal each…
