April 3, 2016 College Sports in Florida

Is it over? Lightning lose Stamkos for 1-3 months

April 3, 2016 general

Sunday, 12:10 a.m. Might it be over? Might Steven Stamkos have played his last game with the Tampa Bay Lightning? After 569 games, after 312 goals, it is possible that we have seen the last of Stamkos on the ice. After all the games at center, and more than he liked on the wing, the […]

Lightning loses embarrassing game to Montreal

April 1, 2016 general

Friday, 6 a.m. It has happened before. I looked it up. It was a Tuesday, back in 1954. The ice was melting, and the players wore galoshes and pushed a volleyball around with brooms. Yeah, that was the last time there was a game as mind-numbingly dull as the one the Tampa Bay Lightning played […]

Random thoughts: Winston fourth among QBs

March 27, 2016 general

Sunday, 6 a.m. Hello, I’m Ben Affleck, and instead of all this conversation about bat flips, I think we should talk about the Bat flop. – Seriously, Goose Gossage, then Johnny Bench, now Mike Schmidt are grumbling about how things aren’t how they used to be. What? Is this Aunt Bee’s pickling social? Let players […]

Lightning wins, but loses defender Stralman

March 25, 2016 general

Friday, 11:52 P.m. The team had seven goals by seven players. It broke out in the third period for the win. It took over first place. Why, then, did this one feel like a loss? The mood in the Lightning locker was subdued, perhaps even somber. Along the way in a 7-4 victory over the […]

Condra finally gets the night he’s been awaiting

March 23, 2016 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. Who was that guy? You can pity the poor Detroit Red Wings. Steven Stamkos, they were prepared for. And Nikita Kucherov, they knew all about. And Tyler Johnson, and Ondrej Palat, maybe even Vlad Namestnikov. They had heard about Alex Killorn. But this guy? The guy who had sat out 28 times […]

These days, it’s hard to believe in the Lightning

March 18, 2016 general

Friday, 6 a.m. This is the reason you doubt. This is the reason you question. This is the reason you sigh and shake your head. This why it is difficult for you to believe in the Tampa Bay Lightning. They were ahead … and then they weren’t. They were ahead again … and then they […]
