Breaking News: Lightning Can Melrose

There were a few rumors out there about this, but still, that sure was fast.

I feel like this would have to make Laviolette just a little bit nervous. And I hope it translates into some wins for the Canes.

Say what you want about that ownership group. They are at least trying to get results. Still, this will likely make it hard to get anyone to want to work there.

WOW……this is an all-time F up. That team is going nowhere quick. See you at this finish line Suckers!!!

I don’t think it would make Laviolette nervous. The Lightning are run like a videogame by their nouveau-riche ownership. It’s like the Islanders, but with Hollywood money instead of an eccentric billionaire calling the shots.

And Douchebag – I really don’t think they are trying to get results. I think they have no idea what they are doing.

Sorry tokyo, I should elaborate a little – I didn’t mean that he would be nervous about losing his job tomorrow or anything, just all the talk at the end of last year, and with the current skid looking eerily like last year make tonight’s game all the more important. And even though I don’t expect JR to do anything drastic at the moment, if I were Laviolette I would still be slightly nervous to hear of another coach (no matter the quality of the coach or eccentricity of the management) getting sacked when management had stated two weeks ago that his position was absolutely safe.
Nervous or not, let’s hope for a win tonight!

You got it Andrea, but Obama used up all our hope. Canes need divine intervention at this point.

Divine intervention my rear-end (sorry, no disrespect AD). I think the chair of my department needs to give these boys a talking-to (full disclosure – I’m a graduate student, and I’ve had a talking-to from said chair). If you’re sick/injured, your sick/injured, if your not, you know when it’s time to step up. That time is now. No f-ing excuses. Message to hurricanes: you do it, or you don’t (and I don’t mean to sound like Yoda, but seriously). This is your game, your career, and your life. I just have to hope that they won’t miss the boat this year, or it will be a long, boring summer for me (I don’t play golf).
