Tampa/NJ Game postponed due to.. lighting?


OK, so outdoor sports you would expect to see game delays or cancellations due to things like the weather.. but HOCKEY?

Friday's NJD/TBL game in New Jersey had the Lightning up 3-0 in the 2nd period when the lights on part of the ice went dead. They tried for almost 2 hours to fix the computer/circuit breaker issue while the players hung out in the dressing rooms.

Mattias Ohlund: "I guess there is a first for everything. But it is what it is, there's nothing you can do, and it was out of our control."

Eventually, Colin Campbell made the decision to suspend the game.

The Lightning played in Philly on Sat and instead of having Sunday off, came back to NJ to continue where the Friday game left off. Ohlund could not play due to stomach flu. Lightning still won the game 4-2.
