Democracy in Tampa

Taking a page from the history of political discourse in this fine nation of ours, the Tampa Bay Lightning are having a town meeting...so reports Damian Cristodero of the St. Petersburg Times:
"The highlight of the event will feature a question and answer session hosted by Lightning television play-by-play announcer Rick Preckham with owners Oren Koules and Len Barrie, head coach Barry Melrose and center Vincent Lecavalier."

OK...here are a few questions...

Oren...Len signed a guy, and he picked Mark Recchi...you going to let him sign another? Maybe Stu Barnes? Or Kevyn Adams, as long as you're doing the Memory Lane Forward Tour?




Steve Stamkos...think he'll make the squad?








You signed or traded for 11 forwards -- so far. You traded two defensemen to get...two defensemen and added two additional defensemen in other deals. My question is, when you go out to eat, you order six main courses and no sides, don't you?

Coach Melrose...you haven't been behind an NHL bench in more than a dozen years. You don't have a .500 season in the NHL with a roster that didn't include anyone named, "Gretzky." You going to try to convince Oren and Len to bring Wayne over from Phoenix?

Is it true Jay Feaster's new duties include doing in-game entertainment as Thunderbug?


If "Feasterbug" doesn't work out, will your new mascot be...


One last question...about your off season...have you people lost your minds? No, really...guys?...guys??
