Ex-Bolt (not him) trips them up in opener

in Apolitical/Sports/Top Headlines by

In the end, it was a familiar face who did in the Tampa Bay Lightning. No, not that one. With all the attention on Marty St. Louis, it was Dominic Moore, a New York Rangers forward who played the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons with the Bolts, who knocked in the winning goal when the puck bounded off his shin pad with only 2:25 to play in the third period of Saturday’s opener of the NHL Eastern Conference Finals. Moore, who…

The Lightning gathers itself, ousts Montreal in Game Six

in Apolitical/Sports/Top Headlines by

TAMPA There were questions. There were doubts. For crying out loud, there was Carey Price. It seems as if the world was ganging up on the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team that had lost two in a row and had the highlights of its season forgotten. The Montreal Canadiens had captured the momentum of their NHL playoff series against the Bolts, and although Tampa Bay had a 3-2 lead, that seemed like a mere technicality to those who preferred to…

Lightning likes position despite momentum

in Apolitical/Sports/Top Headlines by

And suddenly, a big lead doesn’t feel so big, and a comfortable margin doesn’t feel so comfortable. Does it?

Tyler Johnson sparks Bolts again, Tampa Bay leads 3-0

in Apolitical/Sports/Top Headlines by

There isn’t much size to the player. There wasn’t much time left on the clock. On the other hand, there isn’t that much length to a dagger, either. Tyler Johnson, who is on the verge of turning the NHL playoffs into his personal highlight film, did it again Wednesday night. On his only shot of the night, Johnson scored with 1.1 seconds left on the clock to lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to an unthinkable — and possibly undeserved —…

Ben Bishop’s shutout leads Lightning to advance

in Apolitical/Sports/Top Headlines by

The praise belonged to the other guy. Ben Bishop? He had ownership of the doubts. Forty times, he had won for the Lightning this year. And yet, fans could not remember a one of them. Where was the big moment? Where was the signature win? Where was ย the evidence that Bishop was as good as the Lightning believed him to be. Wednesday night, it was there for everyone to see.

in Apolitical/Sports/The Bay and the 'Burg by

No matter whether you wear their jerseys, call their name or heckle them in your odd moments, a deciding game can be the final judge. It is that way for the Tampa Bay Lighting.
