On my drive to work this morning, I almost choked on my coffee when I heard a sports break on my local WDAE. The Tampa Bay Lightning have been sold! WTF??!! I drove in disbelief for a moment, and then dialed the radio station. Sure enough, my ears did not lie. Needless to say I was in a pretty foul mood when I rolled into work. Unfortunately, some people felt a little wrath, oops. But it sounds like the new ownership group is definitely keeping the team in Tampa. Hopefully, they will be willing to spend a little more on payroll. I would love to see them get a deal with Dan Boyle done before the season starts. That would build a lot of good will with the fans. And possibly extend Vincent Lecavalier…
