Rumor Mill
According to the Ottawa Citizen, Coach John Tortorella suggested during an end-of-season meeting with GM Jay Feater it might be time for him to move on. A week later, however, Tortorella said he changed his mind and wanted to be part of re-building the franchise. However, the Tampa Tribune reported a rumor out of Canada suggesting Tortorella would be fired once new owner Oren Koules officially takes control of the franchise. His replacement? Former Kings coach Barry Melrose. (updated: 04/30/2008)

Read today that VS wants to bring back puck tracker from the FOX days, but without the computer chip in the puck.  I didn't like puck tracker when it was on FOX, really distracting.  Thoughts? 

Second, does this mean the NHL and VS have a long term relationship?  I hope not, can't stand watching on VS.   Not sure what network they get some assist f ...(more)

I love hocky, the energy, the skill, the whole game; I just don't know much about it.

I've been to many live game, none NHL, but it was still pro hockey. I'm a lighning fan, I started rooting for them a few years before they won the Stanley Cup. I watch the games when I can (when the wife and kids aren't around) but there are so many aspects of the game I still don't ...(more)

Thank-you Lightning for another great year! Granted, we didn't do as well as we would have liked, but I still love you guys. We did a few things right though: Got rid of some overpaid talent, brought in some fresh gritty blood, and got a lot of playing time for our 2 young net minders. I'm looking forward to next year...it'll ...(more)
