A Lack of Want Equals a Lack of Results
Back to the NHL!The Olympics were a fantastic showing of sport, as always. Three Wild players returned to the State of Hockey with medals: Mikko Koivu, Niklas Backstrom, and Antti Miettinen all with bronze for Team Finland. But now, the NHL Olympic break has concluded, and teams are getting back ...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Lightning
A while ago, I made a couple of references to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles while talking about the Lightning. One was on Twitter, and the other in a game thread. Initially not much was made about it, but as I got thinking about it, I thought it would be ...
Few Moves, Big Impact
At the trade deadline today Brian Burke didn't do a whole lot. Including the night before only a few deals went ...
Stewie!!!
Chris Stewart could be an elite player. He currently sits at 24 goals and 27 assists for 51 points and second on the team in terms of overall points. Stastny leads, but is certainly benefiting in terms of points production from playing with ...
Rick Tocchet's Pregame Speech
The other day during the game thread over at Raw Charge, we got talking about what Rick Tocchet must say during his speeches. After several minutes of conjecture, the topic was dropped and left to the imagination. Well, you’re in luck Lightning fans, as your always reliable DTV confiscated some ...
Look Who's Playing Now!

Wild Olympians Receive a Gratifying Send-off
Wild Olympians ...
Taking the Heat
One of the subtle reasons for Matt Duchene's success this season is because of a guy named Paul Stastny. Stastny is easily one of the most underrated players in all of the NHL. He continues to have nearly a point per game pace and is rarely listed as a super star. He currently has 54 points in 59 games, and ...
Let the Games "Officially" Begin
The Olympics may have officially begun competition on Saturday, but it's today that for most of Canada the games really ...
And So It Begins
Well what can be said about last nights game. It was a good game. I was very surprised at Norway in the 1st period, they got good goal tending and played very well defensively. Unfortunately they couldn't keep up that defensive pace. It was good to see Iggy get the ...
Five Things for Lightning Fans to do During the Olympic Break
While I do enjoy international hockey, I prefer the NHL game. With the trades being frozen, fantasy hockey being at a standstill, and our favorite Lightning players being (inexplicably) left off the rosters, we're all looking for something to do. With that in mind, here's the five things us Lightning ...
A Frenzied Nation
After last nights game I had to let it sink in before being able to write anything. I was in shock most of the night that we had to go to a ...
A MUST Win
This game could be the most important game of the tournament for Team Canada. A Win and they're into the Quarter Finals. A loss and who knows what could ...
BREAKING NEWS!!! Rick Tocchet Apologizes!

Now What?
I've been saying to people all along that the USA is going to be a much tougher team than anyone was giving them credit ...
Predictable...but Sustainable?
Coming into tonight's game against the Germans, there was little doubt that Canada wouldn't come out flying. I said after the USA game that they would come out like they had something to prove. They'd play hard, play well, and keep up the pressure. And they did exactly ...
Bring on the ...Slovaks?
Last night was definitely something NOBODY saw coming. Before the Canada game with Russia I said it was going to be a close game and predicted a 5-4 Canada win...I wasn't alone in thinking it would be close. Most analysts agreed, however it turned out to not even be a ...
Depth at Defense
A few short months ago I was blogging on another site for fun, and because of that blogging was asked to be a part of this site. However, one of the things I covered early in the season was the apparent problems with John Michael Liles and Coach Sacco. Liles ...
