I'm hoping to avoid security.

I would like to take this moment to say that Rick Tocchet is a little firecracker and I love it. Who knows if he'll take the team and transform them into a team that starts winning...but he's sure fun to watch. I wasn't shocked last Friday when I read that Melrose got cut. The only thing I'm surprised about is that it took as long as it did. Good effort, Melrose but it just wasn't going to happen for you here.

The team is dangerously close to last place in the Eastern Conference. A spot the team is all too familiar if considering last season. I can't help but wonder what it is going to take for the team to just wake up and function.

I'll be asking this tonight at Hockey and Heels. I will also be throwing myself at Bobby Taylor so he'll remember me when I try to intern with the Lightning during my last semester of Journalism. Hopefully my plan will work. More so, let's hope I don't get kicked out.

I must say that I've been awful at updating. But seeing as how I've either been sick, piled under homework, on vacation, covering other people's shifts at work, driving my mom to the hospital for having a stroke, or sleeping. Whew. I really need to get better at this whole balancing my time better.

But can I say that I'm really proud of the Lightning for past three games? Three game winning streak is definitely something to breathe a sigh of relief for. Thank god. It seems as though they are finally meshing together now. It only took 10 games, but at least they got it together. More on this later, of course.

Now, go vote!
