Lightning sends Heward to Norfolk
In a move that likely is clearing the way for the signing of defenseman Marek Malik, the Lightning on Sunday sent defenseman Jamie Heward to AHL Norfolk. Heward is a true professional, who gave the Lightning some badly needed depth while the team played in Europe, and he handled himself understanding fully what was his situation with Tampa Bay.
Lightning coach Barry Melrose has said his target was to have Malik play Tuesday against the Thrashers, and though Melrose voiced some reservations about Malik's conditioning, there is little doubt Tampa Bay will move forward signing the big man.

Coach, I cut and pasted the above address and re-dispatched from a yahoo box.
Looks like we might make it after some grazing at the Columbia.
The Sharks and DFB, I can hardly wait. Hope he sucks on defense for them as badly as he did for us. Racing up the ice at us though....look out!
Need the deuce tomorrow gang, we can take these pukes in our Division.
Every shift. Every game. Win.
Go Bolts!

Defense seems to be fine. Lightning need to get the offense rolling...

DC, your system needs to require the email address as a password with the Blogger name so all of our names are our own.
