Syracuse Crunch Face Big Test Down 2-0

Syracuse Crunch Face Big Test Down 2-0

June 11th, 2013 This wasn't the way the Syracuse Crunch wanted to start their Calder Cup Final run. The Crunch, who won the Calder Cup with many of the same players a season ago as the Norfolk Admirals, dropped the first two games of the Calder Cup Final and will now look to dig themselves out of a substantial hole when they head to Grand Rapids to...
A Season of Ups and Mostly Downs For the Lightning

A Season of Ups and Mostly Downs For the Lightning

April 27th, 2013 From a playoff threat to a complete debacle, that pretty much sums up this season for the Tampa Bay Lightning. For a team that started the season 6-1, the only way for the Lightning to fall apart in a shortened season was for things to go bad fast, and they certainly did. Following their hot start, Tampa Bay continued to drop...
As Lightning's Playoff Hopes Dwindle, Stamkos Continues to Shine

As Lightning's Playoff Hopes Dwindle, Stamkos Continues to Shine

April 14th, 2013 After what looked to be a promising season, the Tampa Bay Lightning's playoff hopes look to be virtually nonexistent, sitting in 13th place and eight points out of a playoff spot with just eight games remaining in this shortened season. For a team that got off to such a hot start, they are now just 17-21-2 overall, despite having a...

A Pair of First-Career NHL Goals Lead Lightning Past 'Canes

March 17th, 2013 The Tampa Bay Lightning (12-15-1)  beat the Southeast Division rival Carolina Hurricanes (15-11-1) 4-1 in their most complete game in a while, snapping a five-game home losing streak at the Tampa Bay Times Forum on Saturday night. Prior to the win, Tampa Bay had only won two of their previous ten games. Tyler Johnson (1st) and...
Stamkos Scores League-Leading 18th in Loss to Jets

Stamkos Scores League-Leading 18th in Loss to Jets

March 8th, 2013   The Tampa Bay Lightning (10-13-1, 21pts) fell to the division-rival Winnipeg Jets (11-11-1, 23 pts) by a score of 2-1 on Thursday night at the Tampa Bay Times Forum in front of 19,204 fans. The Jets got a 28-save performance from the game's first star, Al Montoya, who only let a shot by Steven Stamkos by him. For...
Benoit Pouliot Finally Settling into the NHL

Benoit Pouliot Finally Settling into the NHL

February 26th, 2013 Some first round picks never pan out and many become superstars, as they're projected to be. Then there are players like Benoit Pouliot, who take a good amount of time to adjust to the NHL game, after years of being seen as one of those players that may never live up to his potential. After being selected 4th overall in the 2005...
Tampa Bay's Defensive Struggles Continue in Loss to Bruins

Tampa Bay's Defensive Struggles Continue in Loss to Bruins

February 22nd, 2013 In Tampa Bay's previous five games before heading into Thursday night's tilt against the Boston Bruins at home, the Lightning had surrendered 19 goals in regulation over that span. You don't have to be a mathematician to realize that they are giving up just under four goals per game in that span, a total that isn't going to win you a...
Can Steven Stamkos Reach 40 Goals In Shortened Season?

Can Steven Stamkos Reach 40 Goals In Shortened Season?

February 9th, 2013 A 40-goal season is quite the achievement even in a standard 82-game season in the National Hockey League. Steven Stamkos has reached the 40-goal plateau in each of his last three seasons, including 51 in 2009-10 and 60 during the 2011-12 season. So the real question is 'can he reach 40 goals for the fourth straight year in a...
