Well I know it’s been a while since my last post, so much has been going on. First let’s talk about those Tampa Bay Lightning and the winning streak they are on. The completed a four game road trip winning 7 of 8 points. They came home to face the division leading Atlanta Thrashers and dominated the game. John Tortorella made some line changes, putting Vincent Lecavalier and Marty St. Louis on the same line and moving Nikita Alexeev from the checking line up to Vinny and Marty’s line. Also, Torts went with Johan Holmquist in goal and caught a hot goalie. The blue is coming around and they stopped turning it over in the neutral zone. Also, it looks like I might enjoy eating some crow with my early season criticism of Lecavalier. He’s on a scoring streak and is proving me right on one of my statements, as goes Vinny, so will the Lightning. I would still like to see him shoot more, but hey, the guy can stick handle in a phone booth…..

Next up, my Vegas trip.
