Maybe it wasn't Melrose?

The season's first four-goal game goes to...



That's right, Dainius Zubrus tied a New Jersey Devils team record and set a personal best by scoring four in the Devils' 7-3 win over Tampa Bay today. Today's result puts it in the top ten goal-scoring months of his career.





The post-game Lightning analysis was short and succinct...

Coach Rick Tocchet..."Pretty bad effort...A dud."

Goalie Olaf Kolzig..."I definitely needed to be better" (he gave up five goals on 28 shots...his teammates had really good looks at them)

Martin St. Louis..."We take a huge step back...It's really disappointing." (St. Louis scored his 500th point as a Lightning player in this one)

And this on the day the Lightning debuted their third jerseys. They might want to make an alteration...

I trust Ryan Malone wasn't available for comment since he was most likely counting his gamecheck of the frontloaded $6,000,000 contract for this season?

Or watching the highlight of his penalty shot...there are so few highlights for the Lightning this year.
