Didn't La Bamba's burn down a couple years ago? They used to have the spot on High next to McDonalds that was a single screen movie theater (the hallway back to the bathroom was sloped downhill IRC.) I don't know how the fire happened, but they're in a different location now - do they still...

No fisticuffs, and it was pretty evident to me that Tampa had elevated their game. TB scored first, and add in the fact that it was Brad Richards - the Bolts are now 9-0 in the playoffs (31-0-2 this season) when Richie gets a goal. They completely turned around what Calgary did to them in Game...

You missed game 6??? That's too bad, it was clearly the best game of the series. The score was tied 2-2 with about 6 minutes left in the third, and Gelinas rushed the net hard on a rebound. He put on the brakes and his skidding skate deflected the puck at the right boot of Khabibulin - he...

Game 7 tonight at 8 in the St. Pete Times Forum. I hope you guys all watched game 6 on Saturday, that was a great game. I'm not quite the hockey guru, but the controversial third period goal sure looked like a kick to me (from inside the crease no less), does anyone know the official rule on...

My biggest beef from last night's game was the shot Modin should have buried in the beginning of the first period. He got fed the puck right in front of the net with Kipper's glove side wide open, and he tries to go five hole. If he buries that shot, it gives TB the all important first goal...

FKA - dont' feel like you have to admit to being a hockey fan. I'll openly state that hockey is my second favorite sport (my favorite being the obvious.) I wish I had been able to play in HS, I bet it's a lot of fun to fly around on skates and bash some other guy into the boards fighting for...

Quite the contrary - he made quite a few huge saves in the first two periods - it could have easily been 4-1 after the second period. The one goal he gave up to Iginla was pretty soft, but I can't fault him for the other two. One was a deflection from the slot - the hardest type of shot to...

Back when I lived in C-bus it was the Blue Jackets - went to many games and have a white jersey. Now that I live in Tampa, I've come to adopt the Lightning as my team now - going to many games where they win helps to make the transition. It's nice that CBJ is in the Western Division, and I...

Question: how would one go about checking their reputation report?

I live down here, and the Lightning are the only pro team I've been able to adopt as my own. Can't stand the Bucs (Browns fan to the core here), the Rays are worthless, but you gotta love the Lightning. Plus, its a lot easier to adopt a team when your employer hooks you up with four terrific...

I think the suspension is fair - he's a repeat offender in the playoffs (he got another one game suspension for ramming into Detroit's goalie) so any kind of hit like that is deserving of the penalty. Calgary's style of play is everything that's wrong with hockey, I'd like to see the NHL change...

I hope Nieminen gets at least a one game suspension, that hit at the end of Game 4 was a deliberate attempt to take out Vinny. For all of the talk about this being a high flying, fast skating series, it sure has turned into a slugfest. Maybe if they called a third of the holding and...

Mili - have you ever watched a post game press conference? Hearing their little sound bites between periods doesn't give the players their due - try tuning into ESPN News after Game 5 tomorrow night. The captain of Tampa's team, Dave Andreychuk, is very well spoken. The guy is 41 and has been...

The thing that really bugs me about ABC's coverage is that they are pimping their NBA Finals coverage before, during, and after a Game of the Stanley Cup Finals. The NBA is in their conference finals now, whereas there's two or three games left for hockey - but ABC has been selling the NBA ad...

gbear: I completely agree about the live vs. TV comment you made concerning NHL and NFL games. Seeing an NHL game in person is intense, you're right on top of the action (at least I am from my seats:) and it's much easier to follow the puck. Watching hockey on TV doesn't do the game justice -...

I can buy your point of view - last nights game was a one-sided affair won by TB 4-1, once the game was out of reach it did become a bit of a slugfest. What happens is that cheap shots engender more cheap shots, and then tempers boil over and the team's enforcer will be there to protect the...

DEBuckeye - I presume you are a football fan since you're here - isn't football basically sanctioned violence? Every play you have the linemen duking it out on the line of scrimmage, DB's & LB's flying around the field trying to get a big hit, etc. That's roughly akin to wingers duking it out...
