Raw Charge, a Tampa Bay Lightning community

Tonight's Tampa Bay / Philadelphia game is another NBC Sports Network telecast, and that means we have to suffer another polarizing broadcast and the intermission stupidity of Mike Milbury.

While things aren't rosy for the Lightning, the suffering gets worse with an NBC Sports Net telecast. Yeah, I'm biased against their coverage.

The NBC Sports Network's coverage of the NHL is not only good enough to compensate for not being on ESPN, it might actually be even better.

I bet you're getting sick and tired of these lockout posts. I know I am. I'm sick and tired of the sheer stupidity of two groups of reasonably smart people being unable to even get into the same...

Tampa Bay has inquired abotu Shane Doan; a former Bolt is on the move to the city that never sleeps, another is looking for work; Pierre Mcguire had issues in Hartford...

No-touch icing? Realignment? More intense contract restrictions? No more Gary Bettman? What would you change in the NHL?

The trade deadlien fast approaches and the Lightning aren't committed to buying or sellin... yet. This, plus news from around the league in our weekly link roundup.

The media narrative seems to be set: Guy Boucher is the bad guy, the Lightning are fiends, and the Philadelphia Flyers are heroic for taking a stand -- by stalling -- against them.

Why haven't the Tampa Bay Lightning hired a CEO and a GM yet? Maybe they're just waiting for who they want to say "yes".

There are a trickle of other names coming out for the Tampa Bay Lightning GM vacancy. Some of them are just expressed interest, others are just speculation. All of them are potential candidates, however, until they (or the Lightning) say "no".
