Welcome to the first edition of Lightning Grades. This is an extra gameday coverage piece that we are implementing for the remainder of the season. The premise of this is to engage with you, the fans, and see if our mindsets line up after each game. This isn’t meant to be a forum where we trash players. We’ll be honest but fair in our evaluations. Keep an eye out for the Raw Charge twitter account after the game for the poll you can vote in!
