If I say I wasn't nervous until Fedotenko scored the first goal, I'd be lying. Best feeling was seeing Brad Richards shoot the puck, it rebounding, and Fedotenko putting the rebound away. I was icing my knee at the time,...
Warmup stories that make the press is funny. The teams traded warmup shots before Game 6. I have new respect for Chris Dingman. Hey, there was a Bruin in the news almost a month ago....
I was going through local links yesterday, since I ran out of updated blogs to read, and was taking a break from working on my author page. Some Tampa Bay articles include fans greeting the Lightning players home at the...
Game 4 is less than a half hour away. I'm hoping Tampa wins. I'm actually glad the games are on ABC because I can watch from my bed. The little joys in life. I wish they had the pre-game show...
With the Calgary Flames, currently up 2 games to 1, and the Tampa Bay Lightning battling for hockey's holy grail, the thing looming over this good series is the CBA. Hockey is not one of the most popular sports among...
Cutting to the chase, Lightning defenseman Dan Boyle's house was severely damaged in a fire last night. That just plain sucks. Another thing that kind of sucks?With training camps scheduled to open Sept. 16, the day after the expiration of...
The official end to the 2003-2004 NHL season is coming to a close. The Calgary Flames and Tampa Bay Lightning are playing for the Stanley Cup. There are at least 4 guaranteed games left before the season disappears into the...
I can tell you two things at the moment. One thing is I'm addicted to the promo song used by ESPN/ESPN2 for the playoffs. So addicted I bought it on iTunes last night and made an updated version of my...
Maybe I should write more posts all about Brad Richards, eh? He scored two goals last night to drive the Bolts in their 3-2 win over Philadelphia. Two pretty fabulous goals, both being one-timers. His second goal was the most...
After getting the mail, and seeing the back of a new Hockey News waiting for me, I flipped it over to reveal the cover. The cover headlined 'The Final Four' has players representing the final four teams in the playoffs...
While I sit here, browsing on Amazon.com instead of working on my blog template, I just thought I'd let readers know that when you comment [if you want to comment], you don't need to put an e-mail address. It's not...
This is a temporary day. My blog is green [my apologies to your eyes] and I'm going to a Red Sox game tonight. I'm going to work on the blog now for a little bit and change the colors. Perhaps...
Because I heart the Lightning, here are some Tampa-based articles: - Richards is for real - and so are Bolts - One Proud Papa [It's about Phil Esposito.] In a mailbag out of Colorado:While I don't know exactly how long,...
...And now I'm gone. I'm taking a little break. My personal life is so stressful right now. Instead of my plans of running to Canada, or a hotel in Boston, I'm going to take the next three days and relax....
I just had a revelation while browsing NHL.com. I know where I want my Vintage jersey to be signed. I need to make a note of that somewhere so I remember the next time I have my jersey and I...
You know when you laugh like a jackass at a commercial that you've probably seen millions of times and you still feel like a dork? Yeah, that's me every time I see that Powerade commercial. You know, the one with...
Oh right, there's still hockey being played. At least one team I like is still in the playoffs [correction: Conference Finals]. Go Bolts! I've been watching the Flames/Wings series a lot. The Flames have found my soft spot. I love...
The wound is still too fresh. It needs more time to heal. I watched the end of the tape of Game 7 last night before bed. I probably shouldn't have. But it feels like it's been forever, when it's only...
That's the end of the season for my pictures. Now I get to look forward to putting all the good pictures in albums and stuff. There are way too many picture packages lying around my room. Projects for summer! I...
