Well, the streaking Lightning decided to put an exclimation point on their return to Tampa...

Not exactly a positive one at that...

Six goals allowed in the first 30 minutes of action --helped by inept defensive play -- is all I could stand to watch tonight... I also couldn't stand watching the continuation of hands-off officiating that has marked it's return in the NHL.

The one postive I can find from this game is Brad Richards point streak continues... Maybe something else good will come from this game - like the acquisition of a sound goaltender that puts both John Grahame and Sean Burke to shame...? :-P One can hope, right?
