No offense to fans of the New York Rangers, Tampa Bay Lightning, Ottawa Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins, but the league's decision to begin the regular season with a set of contests in Stockholm and Prague is simply confusing. The fact that the NHL chooses to have three idle days before playing another game doesn't help the matter. Of course, this could simply be an American perspec |

"When you get in a game, it's a total, different situation with stops and starts and being strong. I just knew it wasn't good enough to go to play." Fisher, who had 23 goals |

| DEFENSE - Keeping the puck away from and out of the net was a main problem for the Lightning in 2007-08, when they surrendered a co-league worst 266 goals in 82 games. Toward that end, the team acquired 22-year-old blueliner Andrej Meszaros from the Ottawa Senators for veterans Filip Kuba and Alexandre Picard and a 2009 first-round draft pick. Meszaros scored nine goals and posted 32 points in 82 games with the Senators last season and has accounted for 26 goals, 110 assists and 213 penalty minutes in 246 care |
