from Damian Cristodero of Lightning Strikes, Tampa Bay Lightning rookie defenseman Victor Hedman will not play in Saturday’s game with the Canadiens because of a concussion sustained in Thursday’s game with the Senators on a brutal hit by Ottawa’s Chris Neil. Hedman’s next chance to play will be Thursday at home against the Wild, but coach Rick Tocchet said he could not say...

To watch the video [click on this] Welcome back to the NHL. Check out this monster hit by Mattias Ohlund on Phil Kessel. All I can say is “OUCH.” You have to keep your head up when you come across the Blue line. The part I don’t like is someone lays out a player with a [...]

Tampa Bay general manager Brian Lawton has to be feeling pretty good about his summer. He authored a compelling revision of the league's worst defense by drafting a Lidstrom/Pronger hybrid in Victor Hedman second overall and signing steady veterans Mattias Ohlund, Kurtis Foster and Matt Walker.

by Ryan Remiorz - AP View full size photo uploaded September 7, 2009 What can Palace Sports and Entertainment do? I’m sure the executors of Bill Davidson’s estate want out of the hockey business, but they have a substantial amount of money at risk. If Palace goes along it will be because the alternative is bankruptcy and they will be effectively repossessing the team. Furthermore, the team...

At a quick glance, it appears the Tampa Bay Lightning will have lots of decisions to make on the blue line. Heck, with nine defensemen on one-waycontracts -- Mattias Ohlund, Matt Walker, Kurtis Foster, Paul Ranger, Andrej Meszaros, Lukas Krajicek,...

from Edward Fraser of The Hockey News, THN: Do you plan on making more moves before the season begins or is your roster set? BL: We’ll probably make another move or two, but that’s not definite. It’s very difficult to get things done right now, very quiet. Most people have already signed their teams for the year and are ready for the season to start. You have a lot of teams up against...

Pretty decent story in Thursday's paper (unless, as one of my bosses has predicted, it gets moved to Friday) about how the Lightning locker room lost some of its bearings as last season went on, and how the additions of...

As Free Agency has gone on, Gillis hasn’t dipped any further into the pool of potential players and it’s looking more and more like he’s going to stick with the core group of players from last year, minus corner stone puck moving blue-liner and Canuck record holder Mattias Ohlund. Gillis made clear his interest still lay [...]
