from John Romano of the St. Petersburg Times,
The scores are no longer important. The standings mean even less.
For too long we have been lost in the day-to-day travails of the Lightning. Hoping, wishing and praying in something we probably understood was a lie. It is time, finally, to face the truth.
The Lightning is great no more. It is not even particularly good. And until the organization recognizes that and starts adjusting accordingly, this devotion to mediocrity will continue.
Update 12:29pm ET: From Erik Erlendsson at TBO.com,
Here’s a quick thought on my part - I know it’s not a great shock considering the way things have gone this year, but it’s time to bag the season, look to sell off and find some draft picks/prospects to get back in return for some players. I don’t mean any of the big three because I just don’t see that happening at this point, but there are certainly players that could provide a boost for a playoff team - such as Vinny Prospal, Filip Kuba and possibly even Dan Boyle should he return to form since he is in a contract year.
