Glad the Lightning took action.

Good call. Adversity seems to good for them. I hope this is a turning point for them, but they are running out of time. I say keep playing Garon until his GAA is worse than Roloson’s 3.55.

There’s no outrage necessary here. Scoring goals is very difficult, and always a legitimate cause of celebration. It looked a little choreographed, but maybe he does that in practice for fun, and got a little carried away in the moment. It was addressed on the ice, so good for the Bolts for dealing with it, and good for the Rangers for owning it. It was all very entertaining and no harm resulted.

For the record, my take is that it didn’t look like Vinnie was planning to take a poke at him, but maybe just get in his face about it and *calibrate* the young man a little. We’ll never know.

Tampa hasn’t done a lot of winning lately, but they respond pretty well to being trolled. Between this, that Flyers debacle, and that Buffalo game on VS where I believe Kaleta and Regehr kept hacking away at Connolly, they find a way to come back and win when someone pisses them off.

Just wish they’d get pissed off more often…

Hmm AA is NOT known for this type of thing….HBO cameras started rolling on NYR recently…I wonder if it is possible he was trying to do something “cool” knowing the extra attention…I wouldn’t think so…but worth throwing out there?
