Radio show changes venues
Not what you'd call earth-shattering news, but with not much going on these days as the Lightning waits for the draft, we'll pass along what little nuggets we get.
In this case, it's that the weekly Lightning radio show will move its location. According to a team news release, the show, Lightning Hockey Night, will broadcast live at a different Ker’s WingHouse location each week until July 2. The show airs from 7-8 p.m. each Wednesday and is hosted by television play-by-play announcer Rick Peckham as well as former captain Dave Andreychuk.
There are nine scheduled dates for Lightning Hockey Night at the WingHouse with the first one this Wednesday at WingHouse of Palm Harbor near the intersection of US 19 and Alderman Road. Other locations include WingHouse St. Petersburg (May 14), Brandon (May 21), Tampa (May 28), Largo (June 4), Lakeland (June 11), Pinellas Park (June 18), Bradenton (June 25) and New Port Richey (July 2).
Follow the Lightning through the season with beat writer Damian Cristodero and the Times sports staff. We invite your participation in the comments area.

How about letting John Tucker and Petr Klima back in while we're at it. Trade Vinny for Hamrlik and we've got our old team back!

Great wings and some much needed hockey talk means I'll be in attendance for at least the St. Pete and Pinellas Park shows.
Go Bolts!
And, in lieu of Bolts, during the playoffs, Go Stars Go!

Speaking of radio shows, I was listening to the USA vs. Canada IIHF WC game this afternoon/evening. Good lord was that a good game.
Although, I have some not so good news. Halpern took an awkward check into the boards and left the game with either a knee or shoulder injury.

Darren Puppa.....now there is a great name out of the past. He was and always will be my very favorite player to ever don a Lightning sweater. Too bad his back put him out of the game prematurely.

Oh bloody freakin' hell.....TSN is reporting Halpern has a badly torn ACL and will need major surgery to fix it. What does playing in the Worlds pay as compared to playing in the NHL? Damn it!!

Well, I'm very sorry about Halpern but it may force the Lightning's hand as far as free agents and or a trade...
