PrintIf you're reading this post, congratulations. You made it.
It's only a matter of days now until rookie camp tournaments get under way at various locations across the continent... And just over two weeks from now, NHL camps break in.
Stop whining "Is It October Yet?"... We're at September and that's good enough for me.
Lightning Links
- Randy Jones is trying to pull a Kurtis Foster 00 he is trying to re-establish his value this season after injury issues the last two years. [Telegraph-Journal]
- Brock Beukeboom wants to open eyes with the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL this year, and earn himself a slot on Team Canada's World Junior Championship team [The Sault Star]
- An out-of-town preview of the Bolts [CSN Washington]
- You oughtta be in pictures! Prospects (and their photos) who are Traverse City Tourney bound [Hockey Photography]
- The Bolt From The Blue series from the Tampa Bay Lightning has been pretty cool so far with some of the players reflected on. The latest is the Bolts first coach, as Terry Crisp looks back at his time in TB [Tampa Bay Lightning]
- The Vincent Lecavalier celebrity Poker tournament is on September 10th at Derby Lane: Buy your way in or make plans to attend this for-a-cause poker game [Vincent Lecavalier Foundation]
After the jump, we present links to the hot button issue on the hockey blogosphere this week before taking on the hockey world in gneral like usual...
Hockey Links -- Blogger Credential Edition
- It would appear the New York Rangers, as well as other teams, would like nothing more than to restrict access by bloggers. [Puck Daddy]
- Jim at Blueshirt Banter responds to the Puck Daddy article and the revelation that his attendance and BSB's coverage of an Anti-Sather rally have put him on the outs with the Rags. [Blueshirt Banter]
- Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonis chimes in his support for blogger access [Ted's Take]
- Eric McErlain -- who helped forget he Capitals blogger policy -- chimes in with a level headed response for Blog writers [Off Wing Opinion]
- DDC remarks on the brouhaha and reminds -- they don't need the access that credentials provide [Mile High Hockey]
- Tapleg reminds us of some of the reasons why blogs shouldn't be accredited right away, and some of the issues that arise with them compared to MSM [Jerseys and Hockey Love]
Editors note: Raw Charge happens to be credentialed with the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning have a very healthy and respectful relationship with us as well as other new-media members who cover the team. We understand and respect the fact it's their house (the St. Pete Times Forum) and their rules regarding access. We do, however, support blogger access elsewhere in the league, and an end to a hardline anti-blogger sentiment by other franchises. Not everyone deserves accreditation, but a hard-line anti-stance for the sake of message control does not serve anyone: the team, the media (adn competition), or the fans.
Other hockey links
- Hopes are up for all 30 teams as the new season approaches. But Rudy and Megaladoon do their job bringing us all back down to earth: They're screwed. Each and every team in the NHL is screwed. [The Battle of California]

- Paul Kariya is out for the season with a concussion. NBC Sports voters don't quite think, if his career is over, that Paul is worthy of the hockey hall of fame [Pro Hockey Talk]
- Another day, another mystery group in the Phoenix Coyotes saga [Phoenix Business Journal]
- Going over changes in the Southeast Division [Japers Rink]
- The salary cap, Iilya Kovalchuk, unrestricted free agency, the CBA and Nolan Whyte collide. Who wins but absurdity [Frozen Sheets]
- Note to Willie Mitchell: Tenure does not equate a guaranteed payday for under-performing veterans [Lighthouse Hockey]

- The most beautiful thing about September 1st in MLB? Reinforcements. The Rays have talent ready to join the club if need be [Draysbay]
- Top tend reasons why Tampa Bay baseball fans avoid the Trop [SB Nation Tampa Bay]
- How grim will the Buccaneers season be? Peter King of Sports Illustrated paints it as bleak [Pewter Report]
- It's a little late now because most Fantasy Football drafts have happened already, but are/were Buccaneer players worth taking in the draft? Or is it just misplaced sentimentality to think so [The Beach Bucket]

I’m part of the blame when it comes to team names — I didn’t think of anything original to represnt both towns. Well, Winnipeg Brigands. At the same time, it was up for a vote (as was the cities). Fans are so unimaginative.

Secondly — the hubs do make it so they are just repeating mainstrema reports more times than not. Or at least having to create content that ofen forces them to do so… So I get the cattack point that was voiced.

So, should bloggers as a whole become a little more professional? Doing that would lose it’s common man appeal, imo. That’s what attracted me, in the first place.

There’s a difference between professionalism and bias. Bloggers are completely biased – and everyone knows it. But reporters are supposed to be unbiased. In theory. We all know how that’s not always true.
But everyone should be professional. That is, cite your sources if you’re quoting another site, and report the facts and not make things up – unless you’re a satirical site. It’s everyone’s responsibility to report accurately, especially since people are getting their news from you. Otherwise, what’s the point?

web stats at all in general are a joke to in use for something like this, really. Eklund is example one. He has mega traffic online but the majority of his shit is just that — shit. He makes stuff up. And people eat it up.

Is that why everyone stopped writing? We were waiting for this picture?
There's nothing quite like the sound of a frozen puck hitting the glass. It makes me happy.

Now that Chelios has (officially) retired, who’s the old man in the NHL?

Alright Puckheads...
Let’s get some chatter going here.
Who do you hate the most in the league? Player, coach, ref, mascot, blogger, whoever.

Love me or hate me, it’s still an obsession.
Love me or hate me, that is the question.
If you love me then thank you!
If you hate me then f’k you!
I love the Lightning AND the Flyers... go ahead, preach me!
Dare to follow my childish, biased, petty and cheesy alter ego.
American Cheese, B!tch! ... #1 mission? Kill Holmgren.
U dib’t HATE anyone. But I disapprove of a lot of things, a lot of approaches, etc….

Everyone hates the Flyers though. Even Flyers fans.

I was going to say the Oilers and Flames, but that’s too easy.

I can’t hate the Leafs. That would require actually paying attention to them.

I feel that way about some college football teams.

I dislike the Caps, Tom Renney, and Colin Campbell. There aren’t any currently signed NHLers that I despise, tho I don’t care for Avery.

Folks, I need to take off early
Very little sleep and very little energy make Johnny dead on his feet. I will talk to you all later.

So should we do a season preview for the Lightning? I’m not sure how useful those are, really.

A post for this site. I know it’s the convention, but I’m not terribly conventional. John expects we’ll do one, tho.

Doesn’t it make more sense to do a preview when you actually know who’s made the team? Or is the time between the last exhibition game and the first regular season game too narrow of a window?

I think it’s best to do it right before the season opener, but some like to post theirs before training camps start. I guess it depends on the lineup. Tampa Bay’s isn’t exactly final as it stands right now, but it’s close, I guess.

It's not even a question
It’s a mandetory thing, Cassie. Some things are out of my hands. yes, we will do a season preview. View LAST season’s preview to see the format we’ll follow.

You need to show up sooner! These things start at 7:30 pm. We figured that’d be easy to remember since that’s usually the Lightning’s home game time.
