Friday: Chat with Damian from Prague

What can we expect from the new-look Lightning this season? How will things be different under Barry Melrose? How is No. 1 draft pick Steven Stamkos progressing?

And, most importantly, what is happening in Prague, site of the Lightning's season-opening games against the Rangers? Times beat reporter Damian Cristodero will take your questions live from the Czech Republic Friday from noon to 1 p.m. EST.

In the meantime, feel free to leave a question in the 'Comments' area below. We look forward to hearing from you.

I haven't seen all the games so I am answering from the scoresheet and the reports, but I would hazard to guess that Ramo has the best goals against and save percentage. On the other hand all of the gopalies have been outstanding.

DC,

Who looks better between the pipes right now, in practice and in the games? I'm guessing Olie, but what are your thoughts? Is the job defintiely still up for grabs?

I second what Hockey Chic wrote. Need more stats and details about the games being played over there.

DC, are you buying the beer in Prague? We are in Munich and heading over tomorrow. Was hoping our friendly, neighborhood SPT hockey writer would pony up a few CZK's for his loyal followers! Seriously, can we expect to see V4 play against the Rangers?

Caio!

DC,
Seriously how come we cannot get stats or information during the games over there?

Is there some sort of International conspiracy with regard to NHL scores in international play?

Just wondering. The coverage up to the game time has been after that it really sucks. Any light you could shed would be great.
Go Bolts!!
