We’ve made it through the first month of the hockey season, well partial month, and it’s been an interesting ride. It started with the Tampa Bay Lightning spending a little more time in Carolina than they expected thanks to the back-to-back storms that ripped through the area, and ended in Colorado as they set out on their first mid-west trip of the season. There have been some good times, some not-so-good times, and one really emotional return. Overall, it was a strong start, but there is still some work to be done.
The Bolts finished the month 7-3-0 and their 14 points puts them fifth in the NHL and second in the Atlantic, one point behind the Florida Panthers (although with a better winning percentage) and three points ahead of the Maple Leafs.
