Some more thoughts…on returning to the area

I’m going to change things up a little bit in this week’s subscriber-only post. Instead of talking about the Tampa Bay Lightning, I’m going to get a little more personal. For those around here that might not be aware, up until about three weeks ago, my time at Raw Charge, both as an independent blog […]

Game Recap: Saints vs. Buccaneers

The New Orleans Saints opened their divisional account when they hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Here’s a quick look at all that went down. First Quarter Spencer Rattler got the Saints up and running on the game’s first drive with a pair of 10-yard passes to Rashid Shaheed and Devaughn Vele, but his […]

Which QB will be under center for Saints this weekend?

Lightning make it a two-win weekend as they down Vegas in overtime, 2-1

There is no need to get too crazy in breaking down this game. The Tampa Bay Lightning found a way to win a game that, a week ago, they would have lost. Nikita Kucherov finished off a feed from Brandon Hagel in overtime to give them a 2-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights. For the first time this season they have back-to-back wins and a win away from leveling their record on the season. With both teams having played tough games less than 24 hours prior, it could be forgiven if they loo...

Lightning pull ahead, stumble, pick themselves up in 4-3 win over the Ducks

For a moment in the second period, the Tampa Bay Lightning had shook off the shackles of their slow start and appeared to be on their way to a comfortable win against the Anaheim Ducks. Back-to-back milestone goals gave them a 3-1 lead and it seemed like they were headed to victory against a plucky Anaheim squad. The Ducks rocked the faith of the Lightning fans as they scored twice within a minute in the third period to tie things up. However, Anthony Cirelli, aka Tony Two Goals, lived up to h...

Insider Makes Bold Prediction About Steven Stamkos's Future

It was a shock to everyone on hockey when Steven Stamkos was forced to move on from the Tampa Bay Lightning last season. With the Nashville Predators, he went on to have his least productive year since his rookie season in 2008-09. Now, 2025-26 is looking even worse, with just one goal and two points in eight games. With three years to go (including this one) on an $8 million cap hit, how long will the Nashville Predators—and Stamkos himself—continue to play the disappointing tune that has bee...
