Thompson’s Teddy Bear Toss Goal and the Mid-season Lull

Listen to “Thompson's Teddy Bear Toss Goal and the Mid-season Lull” on Spreaker.

Taylor Thompson joins the show after his Teddy Bear Toss goal! We’ll ask him about his quick stint in Europe earlier this season and what it was like to re-join the Solar Bears locker room after the tough start to the season.

Eugene Helfrick from TheHockeyWriters.com jumps on the line as we continue to try and dissect the Tampa Bay Lightning and their inconsistent season thus far. Is it all part of the plan? Are they waiting to flip the switch and get hot?

Bryan has a concern. He’s feeling the mid-season lull. Is that a normal thing? Luckily, Eric was part of pro-hockey locker rooms…and he shares some surprising information about the lull in the locker room.

Figuring out the Solar Bears, and where are the Old Time Hockey Fighters?

Listen to “Figuring out the Solar Bears, and where are the Old Time Hockey Fighters?” on Spreaker.

The Solar Bears broke a 4 game loss streak with an OT win Monday Night at Amway…but will that be enough to turn fortunes for the club? We’ll take a look at some of the strengths and weaknesses so far this season, and what the addition of Blake Kessel does for the leadership of the team.

Are we being patient enough with the Lightning? Are they saving their best efforts for the latter part of the season? If they’re not, what ARE they doing? As the Atlantic Division separates around them, the Bolts find themselves outside of a Wild Card spot and in need of points.

With the extra time, we have a discussion about Fighting in Hockey…and the personalities of the tough guy role in the modern game, vs. “the old days”. There are 3 traits we come up with that defines the traditional enforcer…and realize the new generation of “tough guys” may not have any of them.
