Raw Charge, a Tampa Bay Lightning community

Roster moves yesterday give way to a new team today as the Lightning take on the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh.

The Bolts have issues, but the leading cause of these issues is not goal production from the likes of Martin St. Louis and Vincent Lecavalier.

The Lightning have not won in six games, and some fans are starting to get nervous about the club and it's prospects for a good season. Keep calm, Lightning fans. There is no panacea, and panicking only makes things worse.

The last two times the Tampa Bay Lightning have hosted the Philadelphia Flyers, hijink have ensued on ice - be it stall tactics or made-for-TV moments.

The Tampa Bay Lightning overcame a sloppy second period to beat the Ottawa Senators 6-4 in front of a sellout crowd of 19,204 at the Tampa Bay Times Forum Friday night.

After being swept last season by the Senators, the Lightning hope to turn over a new leaf tonight against Ottawa.

14 seasons later, captain Vincent Lecavalier will play his 1000th NHL game of his career in Uniondale this afternoon. We talk briefly about things and today's matinee.

After a long day of waiting, the Tampa Bay Lightning schedule is released to teh public.

You'll see hype, you'll see collective sighs of relief, you'll see rejoicing... But don't get caught up in the revelry. The NHL has aggrieved you, the fans, and an end to the lockout doesn't even begin to make amends.

With the Lightning season done, thinking to the future is something to bide the time. Who, in Lightning writer's opinions, is the Bolts top prospect?
