Vince Vaughn picks up Lightning staff's dinner tab

CHICAGO - First Charles Barkley, now Vince Vaughn.

Seems there are no shortage of celebrities here in the Windy City willing to buy dinner for the Tampa Bay Lightning.

On Sunday, The Round Mound of Rebound Charles Barkley picked up a check for Lightning coach Jon Cooper and a group of 19 team staffers at Chicago Cut Steakhouse -- a noted celebrity hangout in the bustling downtown area.

According to the Tribune, Cooper, his assistant coaches and a number of other front office executives returned to the restaurant on Tuesday and had the same thing happen.
