Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Steve Yzerman continued his impressive summer of rebuilding the Tampa Bay Lightning by signing veteran center Dominic Moore to a two-year contract on Friday. The Lightning will be Moore's eighth team in his seven-year career (he's also spent time with New York, Pittsburgh, Toronto, Buffalo, Minnesota, Florida and Montreal) and is coming off a season that saw him score 10 goals to go with 18 assists split between Florida and Montreal. After signing with the Panthers as a free agent in the offseason, he was part of a mid-season trade that sent him to the Canadiens in exchange for a second-round pick. In Montreal he proved to be a useful role player during its run to the Eastern Conference Final. He scored four goals in the playoffs, including the game-winner during their Game 7 win in Washington. Two years ago he recorded a career-high 45 points with Buffalo and Toronto.
He's going to give the Lightning a nice third-line center -- and some impressive depth down the middle -- playing behind Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier, as well as a strong penalty killing presence. He's also an excellent face-off man, having won over 54 percent of his draws the past two seasons. The Lightning were already one of the better face-off teams in the league last season, but were just 22nd when it came to shorthanded situations.
Still have to wait and see how they look on the ice, but on paper this is a much-improved team.
