How do you spell collapse?

Down here in Tampa Bay, given the way the Bolts have been playing of late, it's spelled L-I-G-H-T-N-I-N-G.

Less than a month ago, the Lightning was leading the Southeast Division. Now, they're watching Atlanta pull away. They oughta start looking over their shoulders, too. At this point, there's no guarantee that Tampa Bay will make the playoffs.

Even being a casual Lightning fan, I'd hate to see career years by Vinny Lecavalier, Marty St. Louis and Dan Boyle wasted.

Now that John Grahame is with the Hurricanes, I wonder who Lightning coach John Tortorella will throw under the bus this year? Ruslan Fedotenko? Vinny Prospal? Filip Kuba? Marc Denis? Johan Holmqvist?

Hey, here's an idea. How about Brad "Dime-on-a-dollar" Richards?
