Did I do good, Coach?

This is the time of year when players on the margin are looking to make a point, to impress their coaches. Well, in Tampa this evening, Zenon Konopka was making a point for the Lightning brain trust, if the scoresheet can be believed...



Three fighting majors and a game misconduct, his evening ended 4:12 into the third. He had a total of 6:54 in actual on-ice playing time. David Koci did his part, too, with a couple of fighting majors, a slash, and a game misconduct. Less than five minutes of playing time, 22 minutes in penalties.

And their counterpart on the Penguins, Paul Bissonnette, ended his evening with two fighting majors and a game misconduct...all in 6:21 of on-ice playing time.

Dancing with the Stars will be calling on these guys soon.

    Considering Konopka once challenged opponents to fight him in the parking lot and that Bissonnette once wore a professional wrestling belt during warmups of an ECHL game, I can't say I'm surprised their paths would cross. They'd probably be inseperable if on the same team.

    From what I've heard, this is a carry over from what's been going on at the Lightning camp.

    Godbless pre-season hockey shenanigans.
