Mike Augello: THE BATTLE OF ONTARIO – PART VI(THE FINAL CHAPTER)

16, Mar 2010

After the March 6th contest between the Ottawa Senators and the Toronto Maple Leafs got a bit rough after another in a long line of Chris Neil cheap shots(this time on Leaf forward John Mitchell), it would make some fans mark down the date of the next Ottawa game in the hopes of getting to watch some additional carnage, but you know the old hockey adage, whenever a game between two foes gets physi…

Jon Jordan: Thoughts for a Tuesday

16, Mar 2010

Last you heard from me, I was in a limerick sort of mood, inspired by St. Patty’s Day and the Lightning’s own Facebook contest which, apparently, I did not win. (To that I say, “Fiddlesticks!” And to any mid-week St. Pat’s, by the way, a double “Fiddlesticks!” as well.)

I’ll return to prose today, in an effort to sort out my jumbled thoughts on this and that.

—We’ll start…

Peter Tessier: The let down game?

13, Mar 2010

There’s no more long distance calls and no more ducking the domestic responsibilities for the Vancouver Canucks. Kids have to go to school and sports. The garbage and recycling have to be out before 7 am and the WAGs probably have some shopping to do while the guys have a ‘honey-do’ list a mile long. If VANOC was going to displace this team for so long and go over budget anyway why didn’t they j…

Peter Tessier: UPDATE: SOB out…The let down game?

13, Mar 2010

Update- SOB is out and Rome still in. I wonder if this is about speed and not losing on foot speed?

There’s no more long distance calls and no more ducking the domestic responsibilities for the Vancouver Canucks. Kids have to go to school and sports. The garbage and recycling have to be out before 7 am and the WAGs probably have some shopping to do while the guys have a ‘honey-do’ list a mile…

Jesse Connolly: Bergeron, Linemates Stepping It Up in Savard’s Absence

12, Mar 2010

With Marc Savard recently deemed to be likely done for the year, fresh off of a visit to a neurologist to have his concussion examined, the Bruins know they’re in desperate need of someone to supplant the star center’s missing offense. Then again, the B’s have been in dire need of anyone to consistently score goals since the 2009-10 season began.

During their first extended stretch without #91…

Jon Jordan: Lightning Limericks

12, Mar 2010

Since we’re a step closer to the official death of the 2009-10 Tampa Bay Lightning after last night’s overtime loss in Toronto left them six points out of the playoff picture with 16 games left to play, I thought I’d forgo anything serious today, in an effort to lighten the mood a bit.

Through their official Facebook page, the Lightning are promoting a limerick contest and offering ticket…

Shaune Vetter: One Step Closer

12, Mar 2010

Miikka Kiprusoff stopped everything (with a little help from the crossbar) and the Flames got goals from unlikely sources as they extended their win streak to four at home against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday.

It was a much needed victory as it allowed the Flames to keep their tenuous hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western conference as the Red Wings won to keep pace. The w…

Jesse Connolly: Bruins Will Battle Leafs Without Chara

9, Mar 2010

Phil Kessel can go ahead and thank his lucky stars, as Bruins’ captain Zdeno Chara will miss his first game of this season tonight. The B’s blueliner is suffering from a lower-body injury, keeping him from suiting up against the Maple Leafs.

Chara, who currently has five goals, 30 assists and a +6 rating on the year, proved be the other “shoe to drop” after the Bruins announced the emergency r…

Jon Jordan: The Heart of the Lightning is Hart-Worthy

9, Mar 2010

The hot topic right now for the Tampa Bay Lightning might be Steven Stamkos, thanks to the hot hand that has him on pace for a 51-goal sophomore season.

The impact of Steve Downie as a well-rounded force, offensively, physically and otherwise, might be the surprise story of their season.

And a reinvigorated Vincent Lecavalier down the stretch, sparked by the under-the-radar arrival of Teddy…

Mike Augello: SATURDAY NIGHT’S ALRIGHT FOR FIGHTIN’

7, Mar 2010

Last night’s 2-1 victory over the archrival Ottawa Senators was an encouraging moment for the post-trade deadline Toronto Maple Leafs. Jonas Gustavsson, who had not played well for over a month, stopped 22 shots in the 65 minutes of regulation and overtime, as well as not allowing a goal against Alexei Kovalev and Jason Spezza in the shootout. Phil Kessel, who has struggled to find the net recentl…

Jon Jordan: A Must-Have

6, Mar 2010

So, the Jeff Vinik era as owner of the Tampa Bay Lightning got off to an 0-1 start with Thursday’s loss to Washington.

So what?

The Caps are, well, the Caps. And, though there was certainly some sloppiness, the Lightning hung tight in that game, battling back from several deficits and showing some real character throughout.

A timely save or two down the stretch would have aided the cau…

3, Mar 2010

Hop in and out all day for trade deadline discussion, general puck chat, questions, comments and, with any luck, some breaking news from JJ …

We can even talk about last night’s 7-2 thumping the Lightning received from Philly, if we must. (Hey, at least we got another double dose of “Hammer Time”!

I’ll be in and out throughout the day, passing along whatever word I get on any potential or actual Lightning moves and my usual snide commentary on whatever else is going on tomorrow.

Jon Jordan: JJ’s Mailbag: Pre-Trade Deadline Edition/Tuesday Vs. Preview/BoltsBuzz News

1, Mar 2010

Before I open up the mailbag for the first time in a long time, I’ll answer a question that I’ve received from a handful of people in the last couple of days:

“Where did BoltsBuzz Radio go so quickly?”

The answer is simple. Nowhere. We scheduled to take Monday the 22nd off, figuring most listeners would be in Olympic mode, most potential guests scattered about and hard to reach and,…

Jon Jordan: Lightning Coaching Shakeup Makes Little Sense: Trouble Brewing for Tocchet?

25, Feb 2010

There’s really only one certainty we can take out of the coaching changes made yesterday by the Tampa Bay Lightning.

OK Hockey – dubbed a circus by so many – may be out as an ownership group but, clearly, the show must go on.

What about replacing assistant coach Wes Walz with Norfolk head coach Jim Johnson makes sense at this point in the season, at any level?

With 21 games left fo…

Jon Jordan: No Show Tonight/Versus Olympic Coverage/JJ’s Mailbag

22, Feb 2010

Due to the Olympic break, as well as other factors which may alter our weekly schedule a bit moving forward, there will be no BoltsBuzz Radio broadcast this evening.

If you’re wondering where I’ve been during the Olympic hiatus, I’ve been covering “The Forgotten Five” for Versus.com.

With Belarus taking on Switzerland in the first of tomorrow’s qualifying matches, my coverage there will ext…

Mike Augello: TEAM USA’S LINK TO CANADA’S TEAM, GUSTAVSSON STARTS FOR SWEDEN

19, Feb 2010

The result of last night’s Canada-Switzerland game has just increased the anticipation for Sunday’s Canada-US game even more. How will the Americans youth and inexperience combat the firepower that Team Canada possesses. How can certain players on Team Canada, whose ability to come through in the clutch, do when the pressure is stepped up.

These questions and more will be asked from now until…

Tampa Bay Lightning radio play-by-play voice Dave Mishkin joins Mike and I for episode 5 of BoltsBuzz Radio.

Topics discussed include the Bolts at the break, the upcoming Olympic tournament, life on the road, Dave’s game day preparation, working alongside hockey legend Phil Esposito, new media and hockey and more.

Jon Jordan: JJ’s Olympic Assignment and BoltsBuzz Radio With Dave Mishkin Tonight!

15, Feb 2010

I just couldn’t bring myself to write during a dreadful weekend for the Lightning. Apologies for that …

But I’m officially switching into Olympic mode now anyway and, as of this morning, my assignment for Versus.com has been finalized. I’ll be covering the lesser-knowns – “The Forgotten Five”, if you will – as was my idea.

Belarus, Germany, Latvia, Norway and Switzerland are now my respons…
