St-Pete's Gazette

Last night, the New York Islanders were hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning for the first time this season.  With similar score sheets, many were cheering for the fishermen and not much for the Bolts.

With an article from the Islanders, stating they got help from Pere Laloche and the entire fishing crew around the area, the Bolts needed to bring their "A" game in New York.  With Statsny on fire all season long, he didn't disappointed again last night with a goal and an assist. 

"When we heard that Pere Laloche was behind the bench, and the cheering section drove all the way from iceland, I knew we needed a win to boost our team" coach Capuano told the media this morning.

With an average of 30 shots per game, great thing should be happening for the Tampa Bay Lightning.  But the defence crew and goalies need to be more sharp to help win a few games.  The Bolts just aquired Joel Ward from the Nashville Predators to boost more their line up.  Ward is in his best season in the NHL and will be well rated in the SIM next year with 34 games and 20 points so far....

The Islanders will not play the Bolts again this season, and only wish both teams see each other in the playoff.
