Gosh, I Really Hope The Red Wings Can Manage To Win A Game This Year
They tried really hard. That’s really the best thing you can say about the Red Wings’ relatively close but still inevitable 3-1 loss to the Lightning on Thursday night. The Wings hung with the Bolts throughout the whole game, but eventually found themselves outdone by just a top-notch performance fr...
Nikita Kucherov And Steven Stamkos Have Beautiful Chemistry<em></em>

Max Pacioretty Makes A Nice Pass For An Assist ... To The Wrong Team
This is not Canadien forward Max Pacioretty's finest moment, as he clearly thought the man behind him was a teammate, not Lightning forward Steven Stamkos. Stamkos still had to get off a nice snipe to beat Carey Price, but the man is third in the NHL in goals. He doesn't need any extra help. ...
Another Dang Hat Trick For Steven Stamkos
It's a huge compliment to Steven Stamkos that his going two whole games without a goal was kind of worrying. Worry no more: Stamkos broke out with his first three of the season as Tampa Bay rolled Montreal 7-1. And you know that Stamkos will forever remember each of them....

The Tampa Bay Lightning Have An Infomercial
Despite the presence of veteran pitchman Anthony Sullivan (Oxi-Clean, Sticky Buddy, etc.), we're going to chalk this one up to clever hockey marketing rather than desperation. Why? The Tampa Bay attendance has been pretty damned good. Though off to a disappointing start, the Lightning have had ann...
