- Tomorrow’s game against the Buffalo Sabres will be the 11th home game of the season. It will also be the Lightning’s 11th straight sell out at the Forum in the shortened 2013 season. For those who wondered of the Bolts would face attendance woes in the wake of the lockout, this pretty much puts that to rest.

This streak is already the third longest in franchise history. The second longest streak is 13 games. Can they keep it going? Head out, buy tickets, put Lightning fans in the seats. Save your money on the upcoming 4 game road trip and come back ready to cheer on the home team.

- Steven Stamkos was named the NHL’s Second Star for the week ending 2/24/13. The Lightning experienced some ups and downs over the week, but Stammer’s scoring touch continued in spades. Tampa’s sniper scored in each of the four games he played in and ended with 8 points. Jakub Voracek and Ben Bishop earned the first and third stars respectively.

-”Fear The Beard” night in Syracuse brought the Crunch a 3-0 victory over the Springfield Falcons. It brought us some fantastic videos:

The entire team even rocked faux tributes to Radko Gudas’ beard during warm up skate:

Absolutely amazing.
