Raw Charge, a Tampa Bay Lightning community

The AHL champion Norfolk Admirals will be losing their affiliation with the Tampa Bay Lightning, per a report from the Virginian Pilot.

There's some controversy over whether the Norfolk Admirals overtime goal should've counted. The rule mentioned in the release states that any goal scored on a delayed offsides does not count unless a team puts the puck into their own net.
