Southeast Division breakdown-Tampa Bay Lightning...

Tampa Bay is one of the best teams in NHL... even though,Corey Perry,of the Anaheim Ducks,had 51 goals,and the "Rocket" Richard Trophy,last season,Steven Stamkos had 45 goals(second in NHL),and he won the Richard Trophy,in 2010,with 51 goals,so Stamkos has had the most goals,over the last two years,and he is key to the hopes of the Lightning,in the future... Steve Yzerman(Lightning general manager) has kept the major bulk of this team intact,over the summer,which was not too easy,because he signed every major cog,in the machine,that is the Lightning,including Stamkos,to a long teem contract... the only weakness in this team is at goaltender,with Dwayne Rolston,who is,in terms of NHL service,long in the tooth,but is very capable goaltender... Roloson has played for a number of teams,since 1995-1996,and 41 years old... Martin St. Louis,Vincent LeCavalier,Victor Hedman should pick up the slack of scoring,along with Stamkos,who should avoid injury,this season,and score over 40 goals again,along with St. Louis,LeCavalier,and the gritty Hedman,on defense,makes this team a very dangerous team to play,and the fact that they lost,1-0,in game seven,to Boston,in the Eastern Conference Finals,really makes this team very hungry,and a team that you will not like to play in the playoffs,period...
