http://www.tampabay.com/sports/hockey/l ... to/1067256 The Lightning have reportedly had to get cash advances from revenue sharing money from the NHL to meet January payroll. They also got an advance of $2m last April from their TV partner to cover player salaries. Keep that Sunbelt Stratergy alive Gay!! |

Looks like it's about time for Bettman to buy the Lightning, too. |

What sucks is, a team like Tampa will be willing to part with assets to save money, and this fucks up the dynamics of the trade deadline, especially for teams that have already spent close to the cap. |

I still remember Rob Ray commenting on Len Barrie's group buying The Lightning a couple years ago. Rob said that Len Barrie was a swindler when he played; he would welch on bets, was a liar, and all the other players hated him. Rob said if Len was involved in buying the club, then something wasn't kosher. Spot on Rob. |
