Two Trade Fits For Oilers Jesse Puljujarvi
August 31st, 2019 Jesse Puljujarvi signed to play with Oulun Karpat of The Champions League in Finland. He didn’t waste any time getting off to a strong start with a goal, an assist and a team-leading six shots in his first game back. This is fine, in fact, great news for the Edmonton Oilers who need Puljujarvi to show well in an effort to raise his...
3 Superbly Underrated Lightning Players
January 24th, 2019 If you look at the Tampa Bay Lightning roster, the first thing you will notice is star power. As a team, the Lightning live and die by its top players, with All-Stars like Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, Victor Hedman and Andrei Vasilevskiy forming one of the more intimidating lineups in the NHL. With this in mind, the...
Who Should the Lightning Protect?
March 15th, 2017 When Steve Yzerman traded Valtteri Filppula at the deadline, he not only saved the Tampa Bay Lightning $5 million in cap space, he also opened up an expansion draft protection spot. That's important because it increases the depth of forwards that the Lightning can keep from Vegas. Previously, Filppula was on the exempt list,...

Best and Worst of First Three Drafts of Steve Yzerman
November 30th, 2015 Because the transition for most NHL draft picks can be measured easier by a calendar than a stop watch, the last three drafts are immune from this review. That said; let’s take a closer look at the drafts by the Tampa Bay Lightning in General Manager, Steve Yzerman’s first three years. After being named Vice President and General...
The NHL Dream Lives Here
July 6th, 2015 The Stanley Cup has been won. The 2014-15 season trophies have been awarded. The NHL draft has come and gone and the frenzy that marks the NHL Free Agency period has begun. In other words, the NHL off-season is officially on. For most NHL teams, this also means that for a period of about a week, they have held or will hold their...
Ryan Callahan's Quest For The Cup
June 12th, 2015 Ryan Callahan was named captain of the New York Rangers before the 2011-2012 season. That year the defensive-minded and shot blocking group surprised a lot of people and finished the regular season with 109 points; good for first place in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers of 2011-2012, to me, have a lot of similarities to the...

June 10th, 2015 Now that Game Three is in the books and the Tampa Bay Lighting have a 2-1 series lead over the Chicago Blackhawks, this is as good a time as any to review individual performances on both sides. We are a period and a half from the halfway point of the series, should it go the full seven games. If any momentum is carried into the...
Hockey News: Ben Bishop and the Lightning Win Game 3
June 9th, 2015 When Bishop was forced to leave game two, twice, many speculated that he was experiencing some sort of bathroom emergency. I, on the other hand, believed the issue was more injury related, because he seemed to have trouble getting up after making a save on an earlier play. The team and his coach were extremely tight-lipped about his...
Game 2 Thoughts: Lightning Strike Back against Blackhawks
June 7th, 2015 After the Tampa Bay Lightning chose to play it safe with a lead in Game 1 and ended up getting burned in doing so, it was obvious that something would have to change in their approach for Saturday's Game 2. For the Lightning, Game 1 was a huge learning experience. A sort of cruel welcome to the big stage, if you will, from the team...
New Penguins Offseason Trade Options - Part 2: Tampa Bay Lightning
May 13th, 2015 The Pittsburgh Penguins are fresh off of a disappointing first round playoff exit where their goal scoring, uncharacteristically, dried up. It was later revealed that forward Evgeni Malkin had an ankle injury, David Perron had a rib injury and Patric Hornqvist was playing with a fully broken rib. Add on to that missing four of their top...
