As the grueling southeast road trip concluded with a tough third game in four nights, the Colorado Avalanche dropped their second game in a row in regulation in a 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Decisions will have to be made when healthy players return

The Tampa Bay Lightning have ascended to the top of the Eastern Conference on the back of a solid offense and a surprisingly competent defense considering it’s comprised of three players that, if the season had played out as expected, would have been freezing in Syracuse instead of enjoying the sun and fun of Florida. Charle-Edouard D’Astous (19:07), Declan Carlile (14:09), and Max Crozier (15:30) are logging big minutes due to the injuries suffered earlier in the season by some blueline stapl...

Can Joe Boyle replace Shane Baz in the rotation?

The Rays will be looking to replace Shane Baz’s production in the rotation, and I think the Rays should look in-house and give Joe Boyle an extended run. Boyle has always had plus stuff, but he’s had trouble sticking in the major leagues in previous seasons due to his lack of both control (the ability […]

Today In NHL History - Stamkos' Penalty Shot Miss

On January 5th in 2011, Tampa Bay Lightning sniper Steven Stamkos lost an edge during a penalty shot attempt against Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins and failed to put the puck on net down 5-0 early in the second period. The miscue comes only six days after the 2010 Rocket Richard co-winner was awarded his first NHL penalty shot which he converted with a nifty spin-o-rama move against

Yankees Potential Trade Target: Griffin Jax

The Tampa Bay Rays have already made a couple of notable deals this offseason under new owner Patrick Zalupski, shipping out the likes of Brandon Lowe and Shane Baz. Lowe was sent to a long-shot-at-best contender in the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Baz was traded to a pitching-needy division rival in the Baltimore Orioles, once again […]

Lightning end road trip with resounding 7-3 win over San Jose

So, we know what you’re wondering. When was the last time a Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman recorded a hat trick? Well, the answer is December 23, 2006 when Dan Boyle scored three times in the third period to help the Bolts take down the New York Rangers, 4-3. After almost two decades, a Lightning blueliner matched that feat as Darren Raddysh scored three times against the San Jose Sharks in Tampa Bay’s 7-3 win. It was Raddysh’s first career NHL hat trick and, coincidently enough, it happe...

Quick bites: Sharks zapped by Lightning

The San Jose Sharks learned what it takes to be a top team in the NHL by one of the top teams in the NHL. The Tampa Bay Lightning made short work of the Sharks, jumping out to a quick 3-0 lead in the first seven minutes of the game and then coasting to an easy 7-3 win over the Sharks. “Sluggish start against a little bit of, obviously, a pretty good team. You’re down early and you’re kind of chasing the game,” said Ryan Reaves after the game. “Yeah, it’s tough to battle back against teams...
