Vinny hits a milestone: 900 NHL games played
Vinny plays his 900th game tonight at the St. Pete Times Forum and has been winning the praise of his coach this season "We need a captain who inspires us," Boucher said, "and he's doing it." "It's unglamorous," he said. "Asking him to do things a lot differently makes it difficult. We're pleased...
Mini-Rant - 1 - Bucci
I think I'm going to start another post theme entitled "Mini-Rants" to go along with my Hidden Gems I've already got going. I'm not an angry person per se, but there are some things in life that get me rattled at times. Just to let you know, numero uno on that list is bad grammar. Just puttin that...
Egads! Tampa 3, Kings 1
Good god, what a sorry excuse for a hockey game. Not only did the Kings not look good, they made Tampa look decent.Pardon? Could you please repeat that?Yes, Tampa didn't look like a horrible pile of fecal matter. They were actually breaking up passes and shutting the Kings down at their blueline;...
Is Martin St. Louis a Good Option?
John Tortorella discovered he had no go-to guys he believed he could go to, take it to the bank that the coach's first postseason order of business will be to work with GM Glen Sather to find the way to get Martin St. Louis out of Tampa Bay. Larry Brooks, NY Post The St. Louis rumors came up at...
Kid Sid out, Marty in at ASG
Martin St. Louis is heading to Montreal for the All Star Game as a replacement for Sidney Crosby. The former HART Trophy winner and current leading scorer for the Lightning joins Vincent Lecavalier as Lightning representation in the game (Steven Stamkos will be playing in the Young Stars game).
You need reason not to trade Vincent?
You needed to only look at the banter on the bench before Vincent Lecavalier took his penalty shot on Thursday night. You only had to feel the electricity in the building. The fans on the edge of their seat. This was the captain going in. This was the franchise going one on one. And you damned...
Credibility on the line
Sports columnist Gary Shelton at the St. Petersburg Times says in eloquence the point worth remembering (for Lightning fans) with the Lecavalier tradewind/storm that has swept up: It is as simple as this. Fans trust Vinny Lecavalier a great deal, and they don't trust the new ownership at...
It never fails
For the last ten seasons, there has been a constant dogging Tampa Bay Lightning hockey. Through the tortured days of the late 1990's through a Stanley Cup championship and back again to the dregs of mediocrity, one chorus has sung itself silly every season. Every season with or without...
Who is this team and what have they done with the Lightning?!
If I had to find a word for the Lightning under Barry Melrose's tenure as coach, I think the word would be disjointed. The lack of cohesion was apparent, the lack of passion on the ice... and drive to actually play the game. To enjoy the game. It felt like, from a fan perspective, a much hyped...
Season 1.3 starts tonight
With 11 games until the season midway point, the main news out of Tampa this week was... training camp. Yes, training camp... Coach Rick Tocchet ran the nag that has been the Lightning roster (under performing, non-cohesive and soft) until they dropped. Quite a difference to what Ryan Malone...
