GAME DAY: Tampa Bay Lightning


pictured above: the Tampa Bay Lightning power play, led by John Travolta in his prime

The wicked sky-terrors of Tampa Bay are on a serious roll right now. They've turned out to be what your editor likes to think of as "an offensively explosive team," because their explosions offend me, deeply. And they're winning a lot! Leading the Southeast Division, in fact.

Hey, let's look at some greased lightning statistics:

Goals per game, so far? MORE THAN THREE.

Steven Stamkos? 10 points.

Their power play? Operating smoothly at .750%

As Geoff Peterson would say, "Oh dear."

But the Thrashers can win because they have league-leading goaltending champ Kari Lehtonen in net. Wait, what?

ALSO (which I just mistyped as "Laos"; who knew those two words were anagrams of each other?): Niclas Bergfors is benched again. Why?

It was Paco and El Juapo. They raped the horses and rode off on the women!

What's wrong with all these horses???? All they time makin fun of me whilst takin my womens. And now they takin Bergfors's womens too! Shit aint right. Aint Ben Wright in a long time.

Mortimer Peacock said...

These horses don't need Bergfors. They have enough wherewithal to outscore Tampa on they's own. Ain't ever Ben Wright with this franchise.
