		<description>&quot;Can the Bolts be competitive this year?&quot;...Yes.  Will they make the playoffs?  In this commenter&#039;s humble opinion, no. 
 
On offense, Martin St. Louis&#039; consistency is unquestioned, and Lecavalier should rebound from last year&#039;s dip in production.  Steven Stamkos stood up to the pressure of being the #1 overall pick in the amateur draft by scoring 23 goals and 23 assists while ex-Penguin Ryan Malone scored 26 goals in just 70 games (30 G/82 GP).  Adding Alex Tanguay, a five time 20 goal scorer can&#039;t hurt either. 
 
However, I fear production from outside the top six forwards may be thin.  T-Bay was third-last in the Eastern Conference in goals scored last year and despite their talented forwards, just 11/15 in the conference in PP%. 
 
Of course, they could surprise everyone and make me look like a moron. 
 
And what&#039;s the deal with all the ex-Pens migrating to T-Bay?  Malone, Noah Welch, Adam Hall, Gary Roberts (enjoy your retirement), Mark Recchi (for half a season)... Tocchet behind the bench.... </description>
