Well, he sure made a good impression with all of us during his very active brief stint in the NHL, but it was only a matter of time I guess before Tampa sent him back to the A. Hopefully he makes another appearance with the Lightning this season.

Downie, Smolenek, and now Konopka have all been sent down... In succession... Are the Tampa owners (or Brian Lawton, GM) at it again?? Why can't they just let the coach run the team...

No fights

Gillies 6 shifts the whole game

I hope this means Koci is close to returning (I doubt it though).

Hopefully this isn't the last of Konopka that we see.

No, it just shows that Melrose and Tocchet are no different. They both either are puppets or are wusses w/ the lineups they choose to dress.
