Well, the streaking Lightning decided to put an exclimation point on their return to Tampa…

Not exactly a positive one at that…

Six goals allowed in the first 30 minutes of action –helped by inept defensive play — is all I could stand to watch tonight… I also couldn’t stand watching the continuation of hands-off officiating that has marked it’s return in the NHL.

The one postive I can find from this game is Brad Richards point streak continues… Maybe something else good will come from this game - like the acquisition of a sound goaltender that puts both John Grahame and Sean Burke to shame…? One can hope, right?

There’s a neat little tool I found on Sarah in Tampa’s web site that I’d like to direct Boltsmag readers to… Cuz I signed up to try it out and I’m curious who and where my readers are. It’s a nifty little thing utilizing Google Maps and such… Check it out, won’t you?
