Tampa Bay Lightning Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Corey Krakower.
The Tampa Bay Lightning were one of the huge surprises in 2010-11 after a disappointing season the year before. A new owner, GM and coach brought the team all the way to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, where they lost out to the Boston Bruins. The Lightning enter the offseason looking to build on that success, but it certainly won’t be easy. Midseason acquisition Dwayne Roloson was r...

Tampa Bay Lightning Playoff Preview
Posted on 12 Apr 2011 by Christopher Tran.
The 2010-2011 regular season was one of up-and-downs for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Early in the season it looked as if the Lightning were going to be a force to be reckoned with in the Southeast Division and rest of the conference. However, instead of sprinting to the finish line, the Lightning sputtered like a car running out of gas in the last quarter of the season. The story of this upcomin...

Are Lightning Playoff Bound? Lose 4-3 to the Hurricanes
Posted on 26 Mar 2011 by Christopher Tran.
Another game, another inconsistent effort resulting in a loss to Southeast Division rivals Carolina Hurricanes during a back-to-back home-and-home series. The Eric (Staal) and Erik (Cole) pairing combined for three goals for the Hurricane offense which helped propel them over the struggling Tampa Bay Lightning and keep their postseason aspirations alive. This dual ended up putting the Hurricane...

Lightning Continue to Lose Close Games
Posted on 19 Mar 2011 by Christopher Tran.
After tonight’s loss, the Lightning and their fans must be looking back at the Curtis McElhinney trade and wonder what would have happened had the Ottawa Senators not snatched him up. Would the Lightning be sound in goal after this season should Dwayne Roloson’s age become an issue? Would the Lightning not have lost tonight 3-2OT off a mishandled Jason Spezza goal that handcuffed Roloson?...

Lightning Fall Again 4-3 in OT
Posted on 13 Mar 2011 by Christopher Tran.
The Tampa Bay Lightning lost another game that they should have won, falling 4-3 to the Florida Panthers. Even though they played their second game in just as many nights there was no reason come out flat since they didn’t put much effort into the match the night before. Panther’s Jason Garrison’s goal sent the Lightning packing with 16 seconds remaining in overtime. Just like that th...

Two-faced Lightning lose 2-1 to Senators
Posted on 11 Mar 2011 by Christopher Tran.
In a post-game interview after the win against the Chicago Blackhawks, Steven Stamkos had these sentiments “”We're really persevering right now. We're learning about what it takes to win in those tight games, and for the most part we've been on the winning side of those.” But, what a difference one game can make. The Lightning came out flat and stayed that way the rest of the ...

Bolts Come Out On Top After Ugly Effort
Posted on 27 Feb 2011 by Christopher Tran.
The Tampa Bay Lightning continued their winning ways even though the game revealed the several faces of the club—one that can dominate an opponent and the other that falls asleep at the wheel hoping that road isn’t on a cliffside. Even though the Lightning came out on top 2-1 over the Rangers, Coach Guy Boucher ended up being disappointed with his team. That assessment is warranted. The...

Lightning Douse the Red-Hot Devils
Posted on 26 Feb 2011 by Christopher Tran.
The Tampa Bay Lightning were banking on carrying over the intensity and offensive outburst they had against the Phoenix Coyotes to tonight’s game against a desperate and hot Devils team that is trying to do the unthinkable—crawl back into the playoff picture after being the laughingstock of the Eastern Conference for most of the season. With Jacques Lemaire behind the Devils bench, the trap...

Lightning Strikes, Stomp the Streaking Coyotes
Posted on 23 Feb 2011 by Christopher Tran.
The month of February hasn’t shown much love to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Lightning headed into this game looking to right their ship after losing three straight games and having only won once without the help of extra periods in this shortened month. It would be remiss if I forget to mention that this comes during their longest home stand of the season. Playing a red-hot Phoenix Coyotes...
