Stat Line of the Night — 4/4/2013 — Ben Bishop
The Tamp Bay Lightning’s primary objective during this year’s NHL trade deadline was to improve their goaltending. As a result, they traded away Rookie of the Year candidate Cory Conacher and a fourth-round draft pick to acquire Ben Bishop from the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday.

Evan Longoria has had no problems scoring off the ice, as he has somehow managed to work his way into the pants of Playboy Playmate Jaime Edmondson.

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Staubitz vs. Labrie — 2/28/12
With no wins in their last five game and just one win in their last eight, nothing seems to be able to motivate the Montreal Canadiens players these days.

Steven Stamkos Gets A Birthday Pie To The Face (Video)
No matter how many goals you have or where you rank among all NHLers in goal scoring, you are never safe from the Tampa Bay tradition of getting a face full of shaving cream on your birthday.

Lightning Mascot Mixes It Up With Bruins Fan (Video)
Oftentimes when we see a mascot fight a fan of the opposing team, the entire act is staged and intended for nothing more than to provide the fans in attendance with an extra bit of entertainment.

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Schenn vs. Thompson — 1/3/12
It wasn’t the most exciting bout we’ve seen, but last night’s fight between Luke Schenn of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Nate Thompson of the Tampa Bay Lightning just so happened to be the only fight to take place during yesterday’s slate of NHL games.

Flyers Mock The Lightning’s Defensive Trap (Video)
No one is a fan of the 1-3-1 neutral zone trap in hockey. Not the fans. Not the media. And certainly not the Philadelphia Flyers. That was evident during last night’s game between the Flyers and the Tampa Bay Lightning, as it didn’t take long for the trap to take over. Less than one minute [...]

The Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins are set to kick off their Stanley Cup Finals series in about 30 minutes.
