Raw Charge, a Tampa Bay Lightning community

"But even without starting defenseman David Fischer, who left the team late Monday to tend to his ailing mother in Minnesota, the Blades found a way to overpower the Las Vegas Wranglers, winning 3-1. The victory puts the Everblades on the verge of winning the Kelly Cup championship for the first time in the team’s 14-year history. Florida now leads the best-of-seven Kelly Cup Finals 3-1 and can clinch the title tonight [Wednesday] in Game 5 at Germain Arena."

Bolt Prospects reports that the Norfolk Admirals and the Lightning have made three moves today - a signing, a recall, and a promotion of one Charles Landry from the Florida Everblades back to the Admirals. You will never guess who was recalled by the Lightning this afternoon...

With the Norfolk Admirals returning to play tonight in AHL action after their week long break, Jaroslav Janus has been called up from the ECHL Florida Everblades. This is all happening, of course, with thanks to Mike Smith's knee-injury that he suffered during practice before last Monday's home game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Cedrick Desjardins had been promoted from Norfolk simply to get some NHL exposure, and now finds himself backing up Dan Ellis in Tampa Bay.

Once again the Bolts have a ECHL affiliate... The agreement is a one-year deal.
