The frustrating season for the Bolts continues and the game last night definitely had some interesting highlights.
Since coming over in the trade for Brad Richards, G Mike Smith has looked pretty inconsistent. You can see watching him he does have the skill and I’m the first one to knock the Bolts defense but [...]
The Lightning are at home tonight and to make things worse, Sidney Crosby is playing. I’m writing this in the middle of the game so I can’t say it’s hurt too bad as the defense has held up so far. Still it’s scary when you have to face a guy like that when you’re [...]
What we will begin now is a new feature which is common in other blogs and networks but with what we cater to here it should be unique for our site. We’re going to have a daily report on each major team in the area, Lightning, Bucs, Rays and Magic. With the Bulls, Nascar, [...]
The Lightning have been busy here! They have just traded F Jan Hlavic to the Nashville Predators for a 7th round pick. It looks here like the Bolts are trying to stockpile some draft picks. I’ll put something together tonight to review all the trades they made. There may be more coming as they [...]
As reported on earlier here, the Lightning have traded star center Brad Richards and Johan Holmqvist to the Dallas Stars for goaltender Mike Smith and forwards Jussi Jokinen and Jeff Halpern. Smith has been excellent of late with a .938 save percentage and 1.67 goals against average in his last three games, all wins [...]
With today’s 3 p.m. trade deadline approaching in the NHL the rumors are going to be centered around Brad Richards. He is going to be a key piece of today’s activity. Lots of teams out there are looking to improve and what they are able to do may be decided by who ends up [...]
In a somewhat surprising move here the Lightning have traded C/F Vaclav (Vinny) Prospal to the Philadelphia Flyers for 22 year-old defenseman Alexander Picard and a draft pick. Picard is having a nice season for the AHL Philadelphia Phantoms with 38 points to include 8 goals. The draft pick they receive apparently has some stipulations. [...]
The Lightning have re-signed defenseman Dan Boyle to a reported six year deal to be worth around $40 million. It was thought that if the Bolts and Boyle couldn’t agree he would be traded by tomorrow’s trade deadline. This would seem to all but guarantee that Brad Richards will be dealt by Tuesday’s deadline. [...]
It’s no secret the Lightning are shopping Brad Richards and according to the Columbus Dispatch it’s no secret the Jackets are looking for a number one center. Match made in heaven right? The Bolts need to unload Richards (or another big contract) in order to re-sign Dan Boyle and the Jackets are in need of [...]
Sources are telling the New York Post that if the Lightning can’t find a suitable trade partner for Brad Richards than the Lightning may be forced to move Dan Boyle. It’s no secret that the Bolts are shopping Richards but he has a no-trade clause and needs to waive it in order for anything [...]
Bolts defenseman Brad Lukowich is going to miss 4 weeks after he undergoes surgery Friday for a sports hernia. Lukowich is one of the teams better defenseman and biggest hitters. This is a big blow to the Lightning who struggle on defense as it is. Luk will have the surgery performed in Munich, Germany [...]
In other Lightning news the team may finally have a new owner. It looks as if the team will soon be owned by OK Hockey LLC,, which is owned by movie producer Oren Koules. Koules, who is best known for being a horror movie mogul (saw series which is outstanding to sick minds like [...]
Lets start off with some Lightning news. Recently John Tortorella demoted Vinny Prospal from the 1st line and boy did he respond! He scored twice to include the game winner in the third to “shove it up to somebody’s butt” of an unnamed person (Torts). I found this to be quite humorous and really [...]
