Game 43 - Tampa Bay at the New York Rangers
The Lightning finally won another game on the road last night - their 4th road win, I believe - and ended a 7-game losing streak against the NY Rangers. Good for them. It was about time.
After a shaky goal scored against them in the first, they roared back to life. It was great to see other lines and the defensemen getting into the scoring. If they can keep it up, this team can go anywhere they want to. Sure, the Rangers are in a bit of a slump themselves, but they weren't playing so bad last night.
Now, about those penalties.... Officiating hasn't been at its best this season. Calls have been very inconsistent, even for the same team during the same game. For the last couple of years, the officials have been pretty good, but this season has just been bad. I thought that the reason for putting 2 referees on the ice was for more consistency. At this point, they just seem to be an extra body. I wonder what the story behind that is.
Oh, and, congratulations to Vincent Lecavalier for being a starter at the All-Star Game. His team may not be doing that well, but since he's the leading scorer in the NHL currently, it only seems right that he gets to be a starter. Thank you all you hockey fans who voted with me for him.
