Raw Charge, a Tampa Bay Lightning community

The Tampa Bay Times Forum removed its ice Monday and the ice wont return until September when NHL training camps begin.

Everyone knows the story by now; the Boston Bruins were trailing the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 in game 7 of ttheir playoff series on Monday night. Fans gave up, missing a historic comeback, adn inspiring this rant in the process.

Marty gives a vote of confidence; the Syracuse Crunch have veterans to thank (and quality sc oring chances too); Game 7's are done with... On to the Semifinals!

Stadium Journey gives the Tampa Bay Times Forum a high ranking; the CHL has two of three conference champions; a Murray is a GM of the Year candidate -- and it's not the one that you're thinking of.

The Lightning aren't in the playoffs, but there is a lot of hockey being played. Are you watching? And are you - gasp - cheering for another team? Don't tell me. I don't want to know. (yes I do).

With a potentially unpredictable shortened NHL season, we asked Lightning bloggers and Raw Charge staff where they think the Lightning will finish the season in the Eastern Conference.
