For the Lightning, the playoffs must start now

February 22, 2016 general

Monday, 6 a.m. Cue the music. Start growing the beards. Turn on the bright lights. The NHL playoffs have begun. Oh, not officially, of course. There is still a little more weeding out to do. There is still momentum to be gained. But, if a team wants to play then, it had better play now. […]

The play of Andrej Vasilevskiy in overtime. So much to forget. The 41 shots. The sloppy play by the special teams. Four goals in the third […]

Lightning falls out of playoff spot with defeat

February 17, 2016 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. This is what a slump looks like up close. Other teams are racing toward your net like they’re on a buffalo stampede. You keep giving up breakaways, and eventually, they break you. Your captain remains in a two-goals-in-12 games slump. Good thing that all those trade rumors are cleared from his head, […]

January 28, 2016 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. Another lamp has been lit. Another winning goal has been notched. Another moment has been celebrated for Steven Stamkos. So how much does his offer increase? You wonder.

Could Kucherov replace Stamkos on Bolts?

January 22, 2016 general

Friday, 6 a.m. More and more, you are used to seeing his hands in the air and his teammates contratulating him. More and more, you are used to seeing the fans cheer his name as the scoreboard changes. He is Nikita Kucherov. And, maybe, just maybe, he is the next Steven Stamkos. Get a load […]

What’s really going on with Stamkos?

January 19, 2016 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. When the score is tied 2-2 in the third period, he is still the player you look for to make an impact. When the team has won its fifth straight, or lost its third straight, he is still the player you listen to for perspective. He still has the best vision on […]

This time, the Lightning finds plenty of power

December 26, 2015 general

Saturday, 10:55 p.m. This time, there was power to the power play. This time, the goal was plenty wide enough. This time, the Lightning took advantage of its opportunities. It’s amazing the difference one game can make. In its previous loss to Vancouver, the Lightning was one-for-10 on its power play. Against Columbus, however, Tampa […]
