It’s here. Summer is officially over as the Tampa Bay Lightning return to the ice tomorrow for the 2024-25 season. Okay, technically they won’t take to the ice until Thursday, but training camp opens with media day at 9:00 AM tomorrow. While we won’t be there to ask any questions, we can assume that much of the day will be spent talking about a player who isn’t there – Steven Stamkos.
For most of the players, this will be the media’s first chance to ask about what happened in free agency and what their thoughts are about the first training camp since 2008-09 without The Captain.
