I would think...

If Washington really wanted to find a challenge for tonight, it’d be to shut down Stamkos. That’s what I woudl be preaching in the lockerroom, anyway.

I use the "Marty and Stammer Show" line in jest

but in actuality, that is all that’s really worth watching the Lightning for from this point through to the rest of the season.

Both could finish with 100 points this year.

That would be nuts. In a good way

Finishing with 100.

Centre Ice on Shaw likes to decide to give me every Tampa game in SD no matter who they're playing

Atlanta I can understand. But against Washington? Even New Jersey-Pittsburgh is in HD tonight.

The game is in a little box inside of a frame…

Gamecenter live, yeah. Got the label “SUNSPORTS HD” on both sides of the actual game box. Other times it’s full screen like it’s supposed to be.

I could only imagine if this roadtrip was something along the lines of the Vancouver 8 game roadie before the break. Stammer would be out of sticks with 5 games still to play.

That’d be fun.

Besides

I’d have a problem rooting for the Lightning in the playoffs, considering odds are they’re going to finish with 42+ losses.

I find it hard to root for any team in the playoffs when they lose more games than they win.

by FloridaownsFSU on Mar 12, 2010 9:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Would you take the streak end for a win? At least it brings the Caps down a notch (a very small notch)

by Sidicus on Mar 12, 2010 9:26 PM EST reply actions  

Yes I'll take it.

And I betcha Stammer would too.

Caps lose in regulation for only the 4th time all seaons.

by Tina Robinson on Mar 12, 2010 9:27 PM EST reply actions  

I'm guessing

4th time at home.

4 regulation losses overall through some 70 games would be sick.

Technically we still would have a game in hand on them, Rangers play again Sunday. Rather have a game in hand still than pulling up even with ATL right this second

If it stays the same (score in ATL game) we leapfrog into 10th and only 2 behind NYR with game in hand… put some distance on ATL and catch the Rangers on the rebound

Sounds like a natural time for a hockey game

although I do remember last February, the Lightning played the Bruins at 5:00 on a Sunday, and managed to pull off a surprising 4-3 victory.

Think Vinny Prospal scored the winning goal with a little over a minute left.

OK, I am checking out

The Lightning surprise the Capitals, 3-2. Without Mattias Ohlund, without Ryan Malone, without points from the Stamkos/St.Louis/Downie line. Matt Walker, Vincent Lecavalier and Brandon Bochenski all score for the Lightning.

Next game is Sunday at 5 PM — back at Times Palace against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

9:12. Lights out. Raw Charge.
