Former Oilers Player Thinks Edmonton Has Locker Room Issue

The Edmonton Oilers have tried to push back on talk that something is “deeply wrong” in their room, but one former player is not convinced everything is fine.  After TSN’s Jeff O’Neill suggested the team’s flat performances looked like the product of internal friction, the Oilers answered with two of their most energized efforts of the season, first in an overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning and then in an emotional win over the Florida Panthers .  Still, former Oiler Ryan Whitne...

The trickle down effect of the injuries to Kucherov and Point

The Tampa Bay Lightning may have won their last two matches against the Washington Capitals, but they are happy that they don’t see them on the schedule for the rest of the regular season.

Then, on Saturday, the Lightning won, 5-3 , but it cost them Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov. As of publication of this post, the status of Point and Kucherov i...

Lightning score early, hold on late to beat Capitals, 5-3

C’mon. You didn’t think this would be easy now did you? Even after the 4-1 lead in the first period? This is the Tampa Bay Lightning and Washington Capitals. Nothing is easy.

2 Teams Named Trade Partners In Oilers' Goalie Search

No team in the NHL is as desperate for goaltending as the Edmonton Oilers , despite how Calvin Pickard played against the Tampa Bay Lightning in their previous game that should have been a win. The Oilers have two goalies, Pickard and Stuart Skinner, who they can't trust and something has to be done to fix that quickly, as the team isn't holding a playoff spot at the moment and it feels different than the last two seasons. Darren Dreger said, "I can't imagine (Stan) Bowman isn't making calls. ...

Jake Guentzel’s overtime winner pushes Lightning past Oilers, 2-1

Well now. Welcome back, Nick Paul. The Tampa Bay Lightning forward punctuated his first game of the season with a game-tying goal with 2:32 to go in the game. That set the table for Jake Guentzel’s overtime winner on a wake-the-neighbors sequence of plays that started with Andrei Vasilevskiy literally saving the game with a desperation left-pad save and ended with Darren Raddysh’s perfect geed to Guentzel on a two-on-one break the other way. Paul was in the line-up after missing the ...

Nick Paul set to make season debut against Edmonton Oilers

Based on a few coincidental factors it appears that Nick Paul is going to be back in the Tampa Bay Lightning line-up tonight as they face the Edmonton Oilers. First off, the Lightning re-assigned Scott Sabourin to Syracuse yesterday, indicating that yet another forward was healthy following the return of Anthony Cirelli and Dominic James. Second, at the morning skate, Paul led the stretching from the center of the ice, an unofficial position of honor usually reserved for players getting called...

Scenes From Morning Skate: What should Oilers fans make of Tampa Bay?

The Edmonton Oilers face the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night at Benchmark International Arena, and nobody really knows what to make of either team.

Missing the playoffs wasn’t the end of the world for the 2016-17 Lightning

There are plenty of lessons the Edmonton Oilers can take from Thursday’s opponent, the Tampa Bay Lightning, because their path from frustration to dominance is a blueprint that should hit close to home. Like most expansion teams, the Lightning spent years stumbling around the basement before finding their footing. By the mid-2000s, they had built…

The New Jersey Devils Need a Consistent Goaltender…Now

It’s unbelievably frustrating to be writing another piece about the New Jersey Devils’ goaltending, but after this past Tuesday’s game against Tampa Bay, it’s the prominent topic at the front of my mind. This is the second season now of the Devils running a Jacob Markstrom/Jake Allen tandem after bringing Allen back just before he […]

Pre-Scout: Lightning have found their stride after slow start

After a poor start, the Tampa Bay Lightning have returned to their usual selves. Taking care of a wounded New Jersey Devils team on Tuesday, the Bolts have won nine of their last twelve hockey games.  That places them flirting with a playoff spot again, a 10-7-2 record, and back to where one would expect. …

Lightning lose to Rangers, 7-3

Could we go into a long detailed discussion about how the Tampa Bay Lightning lost this game to the New York Rangers, 7-3 ? Sure, but that would make us sad, and y’all angry (again). So let’s let one of our commenters sum up the game: Yup, that pretty much wraps things up in regards to how we feel about this game. The Lightning did not play well. Yes, they had some bad bounces, but the mistakes leading up to those bounces were, for the most part, unforced. They had worked hard over t...

Lightning recall Boris Katchouk and Scott Sabourin

The reinforcements have arrived. With the Tampa Bay Lightning ailing a bit, the team recalled a couple of veterans from the Syracuse Crunch. Forwards Boris Katchouk and Scott Sabourin caught the plane ride down from the bitter cold to the chilly, but much nicer Tampa weather to help bolster a squad that is a little down right now. With Dominic James definitely missing tonight’s action, and Pontus Holmberg probably out as well, the Bolts needed to add some depth to their bottom-six. Ryan M...
