Raw Charge, a Tampa Bay Lightning community

Former Lightning head coach Guy Boucher, speaking publicly for the first time since being replaced on March 24th, expressed gratitude to the Lightning organization and fans.

Lightning General Manager Steve Yzerman and Assistant General Manager Julian BriseBois have sought out to strengthen the minor league system since coming on board in 2010.

The Guy Boucher era is over for the Lightning, and a team in limbo goes to Winnipeg to take on the Jets tonight. The future of the Bolts in general is up in the air and it's anyone's guess who stays and who goes..

Tonight's game is not postponed on account of Guy Boucher's dismissal. What is going to happen? Dunno. What do you need to know about the Lightning leading into this game? Not sure, besides continued uncertainty.

The RC staff explain this development in their own words.

A second consecutive disappointing season ends Boucher's tenure in Tampa Bay.

The Southeast Division is there for the taking if there's a team that can figure out how to play and win consistently.

The Lightning are going through a rough patch, but things aren't as dire as they may seem.
