The following are my predictions leading up to the deadline along with updated analysis. Written on 2/15/11 We haven’t seen GM Steve Yzerman work a trade deadline yet so it will be fascinating to see if he’ll...

Bolts Fall in Shootout to Panthers, Lose Third Straight
Posted on 20 Feb 2011 by Christopher Tran.
As expected, after a 6-3 shellacking by the Detroit Red Wings, the Tampa Bay Lightning came back with a good effort against their Southern Floridian rivals. In the end though it was another disappointing night as they lose their third in a row. The Lightning headed into the waning minutes of the third frame with a 2-1 lead when Nate Thompson was sent to the box on a questionable boarding call...

Posted on 13 Feb 2011 by Christopher Tran.
The Lightning took advantage of a Washington Capitals loss tonight to add a little cushion in the standings with an overtime win against a desperate Carolina Hurricanes club.

Mid-way ...

Posted on 2 Feb 2011 by George Kouvalis.
You have to like what is going on in Tampa Bay right now if your a Lightning fan. First off on the ice and now off the ice.

Lets start first with the mos...

STAMMER TIME IN TAMPA
Posted on 3 Dec 2010 by George Kouvalis.
Crosby or Ovechkin? Alex or Sidney? The great debate in the NHL just got a hell of a lot harder because you have to add one more name to that list…..Steven Stamkos. The 20 year old “veteran” of the Tampa Bay Lightning has been lights out all season. Tied for the league lead in goals with 21 so far, and second in the NHL in points, Stamkos is showing all the tools and p...

The Tampa Bay Lightning: a litmus test for sunbelt success
Posted on 7 Oct 2010 by Daniel Maloney.
With the commencement of a new NHL season, Gary Bettman’s wish for sunbelt stability may be about to come true-at least in Tampa Bay. “It’s too easy to say we’re going to paint this thing with a broad brush and that the sun belt doesn’t work. That’s not true,” said Bettman in a CBC interview. Particularly during his feud with former Phoenix Coyotes owner Jim Moyes and Blackberry...

Lightning Now, Thunder Later
Posted on 21 Jul 2010 by George Kouvalis.
You won't hear it yet, maybe not even by November, but you will. It will be the big BOOM that will hit the NHL by December. The fact that the vastly improved Tampa Bay Lightning will begin to yet again be relevant in the NHL. Steve Yzerman has done a very good job, so far on paper, of bringing in the right people aboard to right the ship. He kept Vinny Lecavalier, still only thirty years ...

St.Louis signs four-year extension
Posted on 1 Jul 2010 by Daniel Maloney.
Martin St.Louis has signed a four-year,$22.5 million contract extension with Tampa Bay, essentially keeping the star forward in Florida for the remainder of his career. It's a great move-plain and simple. The Quebec native scored 29 goals and added 65 assists last season, showing that he is still an elite player. More importantly, it is well-known that he is a great mentor for a young rebuild...

Lightning trade Meszaros to Flyers
Posted on 1 Jul 2010 by Daniel Maloney.
The Tampa Bay Lightning have dealt defensemen Andrej Meszaros to the Philadelphia Flyers for a second round draft pick. Meszaros scored 7 goals and added 11 assists in 81 games last season. However, more was expected of the 24-year old , and the Slovak blueliner was a -14 on a team that allowed more goals than any team in the NHL last season. The defense corps in Tampa needs a makeover, an...

Trade Vinny
Posted on 25 Jun 2010 by Marvin Miller.
Stevie… Vinny's goal scoring has been declining for the past four years. Trade him to the Habs for a bunch of draft picks before it's too late and he is worth nothing. The Habs with their fans would die for Vinny material to write and talk about.

Yzerman is Tampa Bay’s perfect storm
Posted on 4 May 2010 by Daniel Maloney.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are at a franchise crossroads. New ownership took the reigns in Tampa this past February, as Boston business tycoon Jeff Vinik bought the troubled Florida franchise. So far, the new owner is talking the typical new GM talk. “I've been an avid hockey fan my whole life, and I pledge to our fans that I will work my hardest to build the Lightning into a world class org...

Tampa Bay Lightning 2009-2010 Season Review
Posted on 21 Apr 2010 by Jack Powell.
The 2009-2010 Tampa Bay Lightning, while exciting and quite fun to watch, fell short again of the playoffs for the 3 consecutive season. In a year of change, where the Lightning were sold to Boston investor Jeff Vinik, the interim coach tag was removed from Rick Tocchet, and heightened expectations came on the heals of number 2 overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft, Victor Hedman, second year phen...
