Perhaps the Tampa Bay Lightning learned a lesson from their previous negotiations with an aging franchise icon. After not being able to come to an agreement with Steven Stamkos two summers ago, they took a different approach with Ryan McDonagh. Instead of waiting until after the season was over, they inked their veteran defenseman to a three-year contract extension with an average annual value of $4.1 million. The deal will theoretically keep in the blue and white for the rest of his care...

Before we get too far into this, we will admit we did not watch tonight’s game. Thanks to a combination of factors including, but not limited to, a rough day at the bill-paying job, wonky internet, and the fact that we have no couch, we’re not going to watch the game either. So here are some recaps of the 2-1 loss from folks that we assume did watch the game. Bo Horvat and old friend Anthony Duclair had the tallies for the Islanders while Dominic James scored for the Lightning. NHL.com ...

The Tamp Bay Lightning played 14 games in November and won 11 of them. That’s it, that’s the review. We really don’t need to get any deeper than that. But, we do. Well, we have to in order to show up in Google results. The Lightning started the month 15th out of 16 teams in the Eastern Conference. They had rallied to a 5-4-2 record in October, but still had a mountain to climb in the standings as only the Buffalo Sabres were behind them. After ripping off their 11 victories, includin...

On November 30, 2023, Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Tristan Jarry became the 14th goaltender to be credited with a goal in a NHL game and the 9th goaltender to shoot the puck into the net. Defending a 3-2 lead against Tampa Bay with a minute remaining on the road, Jarry collected an Anthony Cirelli tip in and promptly fired it 175 feet into the Lightning's empty cage. The

Perhaps it was the early start time, but for the first two periods the Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings decided that defense was optional. If it wasn’t for the play of Andrei Vasilevskiy and John Gibson there would have been even more than the seven goals the two teams combined to score. The Lightning emerged from those forty minutes with the 4-3 lead, and not only held off a surge from the home team, but added a couple of goals to win their sixth game in a row by a final of 6-3. ...
