In the 2009 NHL Draft, the Tampa Bay Lightning selected defenseman, Victor Hedman with the number two pick. Five days after drafting the 18-year-old Swede, the team made a couple of decisions that helped catapult Hedman’s career. Imagine beginning your NHL career half a world away from home.

Critical Time for the Lightning
A team in the NHL that loses as many games as they win is usually not a playoff team. For the Tampa Bay Lightning, before their Thursday night game against the Florida Panthers, they have won 22 games and lost 22. This record doesn’t indicate in the least that they are burning up the league […]

Lightning Deserve an Outdoor Game
As the New Year’s celebrations begin to take place all over North America, the outdoor games the NHL has held over the last few years are in need of some change. Particularly, with the teams that are invited to participate. Over the last four seasons, excluding the Heritage Classic which was designed for only teams […]

A Trade That Yzerman Must Make
Even the most casual NHL fan knows the Tampa Bay Lightning is a talent laden team. Yet despite that fact, the level of talent and depth of the Lightning has not been enough to avoid struggling this season. In my mid-season report on the team, the biggest weakness showed by the Lightning has been the […]

Recap: Penguins Beat Lightning in ECF Rematch
Sometimes the NHL schedule makers get things right. Sometimes, not so much. The first game of the 2016-17 season featuring a rematch of last season’s Eastern Conference Finals between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Pittsburgh Penguins was set for tonight at Amalie Arena in Tampa. It could not come at a worse time for […]

Lightning Defense Depth Missing
Compare defensive statistics of the Tampa Bay Lightning this year versus last and the difference is minimal. One might even say that it is barely detectable, but the fans watching see it all too clearly. Over the last few games, the deficiency as a team by the Lightning defensively is evident. Too many fans in […]

Lightning Goaltender Controversy?
The case can be made that the Tampa Bay Lightning have one of the best goalie tandems in the NHL. Their duo of Ben Bishop and Andrei Vasilevskiy is the envy of most of the league. Imagine being able to roll out a two-time Vezina Trophy finalist in Bishop. If Bish is tired or needs […]

Steve Yzerman’s Brilliant Off-Season
As last season was winding down Tampa Bay Lightning General Manager Steve Yzerman probably had some restless nights. The team was looking at the very real possibility that they would lose their captain, Steven Stamkos, to free agency. If this were the only issue facing Yzerman, there would not be much empathy given to the GM. […]

Tampa Bay Lightning: NHL’s Rodney Dangerfield
The late comedian, Rodney Dangerfield was known world-wide for his well worn punch line: “I get no respect”. Dangerfield built an almost 60 year career on being the poor schlub that never got any respect. Well, the NHL has a team that would warm Dangerfield’s heart and that is the Tampa Bay Lightning. How else would […]

Consequences of the Jonathan Drouin Rejuvenation
Since being recalled from the Syracuse Crunch with a couple of days to go in the regular season, Jonathan Drouin has been on a mission. Granted, the mission was quite of his own doing. Despite that, Drouin’s play has displayed his desire of showing the hockey world what his talents can produce while his team is […]

Andrei Vasilevskiy: Lightning’s Next, Next Man Up
When Tampa Bay Lightning goalie, Ben Bishop went down in the first period of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals, die-hard fans must of thought the team is snake bit.

Meet the 2016 Tampa Bay Lightning Black Aces
Over the recent history of the NHL, most if not all of the playoff teams bring up a group of AHL players in their system to be the “Black Aces” for the franchise. This practice has been in vogue for some time and it gives these young players an opportunity to experience the playoff atmosphere […]

Momentous Playoff Series Victory for the Tampa Bay Lightning
It would be easy to blow out of proportion the Tampa Bay Lightning’s Round 1 Playoff win over the Detroit Red Wings. The five game series won by the Lightning could be viewed by some as monumental considering the team was playing without two of its top players. Both Steven Stamkos and Anton Stralman were unavailable […]

What to Expect from the Lightning in the NHL Playoffs
Exactly one year ago, fans of the Tampa Bay Lightning were giddy with anticipation. First, there was a feeling that the team had to exorcise the remaining demons of the previous year’s playoff sweep at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens. Most importantly, the Lightning were entering the playoffs 100 percent healthy, unlike the previous season […]

Second Act for Jonathan Drouin
Apparently, F. Scott Fitzgerald wasn’t much of a hockey fan. The American writer so famously penned the words: There are no second acts in American lives. Clearly, he didn’t include Canadians as the Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that they are recalling forward Jonathan Drouin from the Syracuse Crunch to help them finish out the […]

Can Jonathan Drouin Aid Lightning Offense?
By now Tampa Bay Lightning fans have heard or read the news about Steven Stamkos and his scheduled surgery set for this Monday. Diagnosed with a blood clot near his collarbone, this is the same type of surgery that goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy went through last September. While it is extremley disconcerting any time a team […]
