A year later (Raw Charge anniversary)

by John Fontana on Mar 17, 2010 11:15 AM EDT in The Site

Greetings and welcome to the Raw Charge. The Raw Charge is the newest SB Nation entry in its NHL coverage and is devoted to the Tampa Bay Lightning as well as general opinions and news pieces regarding the National Hockey League and occasionally postings about Tampa Bay sports in general.

I am happy to report that "The Raw Charge" never caught on. And I am also happy to report Raw Charge and it's budding community is doing well at it's first anniversary. Thanks to readers and the rest of the Boltosphere for your support!

Congrats guys

I may be a relative late-comer, but it’s always a pleasure to read your thoughts…. and in some instances find out what’s happening!

Here’s to many more!

Congratulations!

Here’s to Raw Charge giving me GDT’s with other fabulous people to drown my sorrows with! And for being on top of Lightning news like nobody else can, and for John & Cassie who are pretty stellar people.

Love the passion and the reportage I don’t get from the Bay area dailies.

Thanks everyone for your support! This place wouldn’t be half as fun without you. :o)

There's nothing quite like the sound of a frozen puck hitting the glass. It makes me happy.
