Vinny's On Fire: TB 5 - PHX 3

The Lightning took to the ice last night against Phoenix, looking to gain some more ground on Atlanta in the Southeast. As seems to be the norm this year, Vinny Lecavalier came up big, netting 2 goals, and leading the Lightning to victory while earning recognition as the game's #1 star. Phoenix was no pushover, giving the Lightning everything they could handle, playing a stifling trap, and answering the Bolts 2 first period goals with 2 of their own. What looked to be a high scoring affair settled down in the second, with Phoenix tallying the only goal, sending the game into the second intermission tied at 3. Early in the third period, Brad Richards came through with the game winner, his 20th goal of the season, that lifted the Bolts to within 3 points of Atlanta for first place in the Southeast.
Nothing more on the rumor front. The Cujo rumor seems to be just that, the Coyotes are in town, the Bolts are looking for a goalie, Cujo is a goalie on the Coyotes, yadda yadda. With Washington coming into town Thursday, we'll see who we are rumored to be interested in on that squad, how about Kolzig? Yeah, whatever.
Until next time....
