Thoughts on the first few days of Tampa Bay Lightning training camp

With the Tampa Bay Lightning enjoying a day off from their preseason training camp it’s a good time to check in and see how things are going with them. The short answer - fine. Everything is fine. Coach Jon Cooper admitted that the team has looked a little rusty, but that’s to be expected coming off of a break. They are getting better as they remember how to hockey. The most important thing is that there are no reported injuries so far (finds the largest Ponderosa Pine nearby and furiously knocks on it). With less than a week to go until the season opens, it’s now about making sure everyone is up to speed on the systems and getting into game shape.
