Strange Things Happening On The Road With The Lightning


Not sure what to make of the fact that John Tortorella held a long meeting with the players, had them get into their gear at Madison Square Garden in New York, got them on the bus to New Jersey to practice but then instructed the driver to return to MSG before the players even got off the bus. The Lightning players are suddenly mute about the strange round trip and some are speculating that it's a case of Tortorella getting a message across, ie. this is what it's like to show up for work and get nothing accomplished.

It might be worth noting that starting goalie Johan Holmqvist only has a .894 save percentage. His backup Marc Denis has .854 percentage. Brutal.
