52 Down, 30 to Go
I address key questions facing the Lightning with the final 30 games of the season upon them like where they currently stand, what they need going forward, and what the realistic chances are of making the playoffs this season. I also provide a sneak peak at some upcoming blogs.

Vinny Steals The Dough
Hey Lightning fans! Let’s play a rousing game of “Who am I?” I have scored just six goals in my last 34 games. I am on pace to score only 16 goals this season, despite leading my team in shots on goal. I have almost as many penalty minutes as points this season. I was [...]
Lightning Get Naked!
What do you do if you’re an NHL team that is reeling after two horrible losses in a row? Why, of course…you get naked! Tampa Bay Lightning players Ryan Malone and Jeff Halpern rounded up the boys after practice was complete on Tuesday and played a game of…wait for it… “Naked Shootout.” Malone decided to [...]
Early Estimations: Bolts Under The Magnifying Glass
It’s not time to panic or lose hope, but they’ve given us no real reason to think playoffs. The Tampa Bay Lightning is 1-1-2 in the first four games of the 2009-10 season. Here are my impressions of the Bolts’ early season performance. Goalie Mike Smith is not right. He has been solid…even amazing at [...]
Time Out! I’ve Seen This Before!
The Tampa Bay Lightning defense stood around and watched Thrashers forwards Ilya Kovalchuk and Rich Peverley skate all over the ice and score at will. Both players beat Lightning goalie Mike Smith twice, leading the Atlanta Thrashers to a 6-3 win over the Bolts in the season opener. Atlanta goalie Ondrej Pavelec resoundingly outplayed Smith [...]

Once the scrimmage with Norfolk was completed last night, the Turk visited eleven Lightning players. After clearing waivers, forwards Martins Karsums and Blair Jones were assigned to AHL Norfolk. Goaltenders Dustin Tokarski, Riku Helenius and Jaroslav Janus (unsigned), defensemen Vladimir Mihalik and Ty Wishart, and forwards Juraj Simek, Paul Szczechura and Dana Tyrell were also [...]
Lesser-Known Lightning: Todd Fedoruk
*Lesser-Known Lightning is a segment where I will try to better inform fans about some Lightning players. These players may be new to Tampa Bay and/or not as well known as some of the fan-favourites. The differences between this segment and a young prospect review are that the players reviewed here will have past NHL [...]
Encouraging!
He was on the ice for 27 minutes and 15 seconds, four and a half minutes longer than anyone else. He skated skillfully and with purpose. His coach Rick Tocchet said, “If I had to say who tried and played hard…(he) would be in my top, absolutely.” I know, you’re thinking Marty or maybe Vinny. [...]
