Tuesday night link dump and open thread (offseason finale)

Rookie camps are in full swing, training camps open this weekend.

It's hockey time, ladies and gents.  And that means the summer is done.  This is the final Tuesday night link dump and open thread.  We hope to keep up the Tuesday link dumps through the season.

Lightning links

Sidenote:  It appears Joe Bolts Fan is no more.  We'll be removing them from the Boltosphere sidebar list.  If you have another Lightning blog to suggest, please list it in comments.

  • St. Pete Mayor Bill Foster remains a small minded tool at this hour, comparing a lowly Bucs team and extravagant NFL ticket prices that cripple sales (league wide in week 1) to the plight of the Rays:  meaning he says there is no plight and things are hunky-dory in St. Pete [Rays Index]
  • And if Foster needs to see how the other half lives (meaning outside his city limits), I submit this anecdote from a fan trying to get to the Rays/Yankees game last night [Skyscraper City]

You know, people never question random English accents. No one said anything about Pinky’s accent, either. Or Wakko’s. But when someone uses an American accent when people expect a British one, then there are problems. I wonder why that is.

The Lightning have a glut of players that are going to be vying for places on teh bottom two lines

Sean Bergenheim, Marc-Antoine Pouliot, Niklas Persson, Johan Harju, Chris Durno, Adam Hall, Blair Jones, Eric Perrin, Paul Szczechura, Teddy Purcell… These are just of f the top of my head… Factor in guys like James Wright and Carter Ashton who will make a case for the big club and it gets REAL interesting.

Right

The Bolts have been really careless with depth since 2005-06… There were a few guys then and yet they allowed depth to keep getting depeted. The drafts were always weak under Jay Feaster too… So a doubled edged blade, cutting away at the Lightning’s depth…

He cleans house of amateur hour in Tampa and goes on an elaborate hunt for a new GM. Elaborate and secretive. Once his sights get set on who he wants — he stays on the case until he closes the deal. He does the same thing with a CEO… Secretive and secure and savvvy in his dealings.

What is the biggest question going into the 2010-11 season

Biggest question in the NHL (any and all 30 teams)

For Tampa — does the team looking great on paper translate to on-ice ?

It comes down to chemistry, team leadership, & coaching. Again. Some things just haven’t changed.

Goaltending still a BIG question mark. Situation isn’t all that much different than last season. Defense is better, but who knows how this group will respond to Bouch.

Crucified. He plays well, they get on him for minor slip ups. He plays poorly and the entire franchsie may get torched.

I’d say you’re right. This is the Montreal media. If he gives up a bad rebound in a shutout, they’re going to criticize his rebounds. If he didn’t screw up and the team played like shit, they’ll just say he sucks.

all right Folks

Gonna call it a night on this thread. My focus is elsewhere (the TV) and the conversation is slowing down.

I don’t know what is in store with Raw Charge in the next few days, it will work itself out itself I guess.

I’ll see ya when I see ya, I guess. Take care, all.
