No Respect

[Bolt Fore]

The Lightning , the top team in the East just trounced the top team in the West and in the latest power rankings are ranked 14th in the league. As Rodney would say " We don't get no respect".

Whaaat? Who did this power ranking? ESPN?

That is disrespectful but you know what, keep disrespecting us, keep thinking nothing of us, I somewhat like it that way. Give us no attention. Let's stay away from the limelight and just keep taking care of business because at the end of the day, the standings are the only thing that matter, not power rankings.

I'll bet ESPN did the power ranking. It seems like something ESPN would do as a result of the Stamkos injury. They perceive hockey like it's basketball and think that the fall of a superstar means the fall of the entire team like it's the NBA.

People who go to ESPN for any type of Hockey news aren't very smart

I don't go to ESPN for anything anymore to tell you the truth. It's really just a hype machine.

They talk about the same 2 or 3 teams/players from every sport, it's awful - I stick to the league channels for every sport(MLBN, NHLN, NFLN, NBA TV) - they're much better

Not only do they employ him, but he's pretty much their entire hockey staff LOL

I had high hopes for Mike Smith when he came to the Lightning, and he almost put himself out of hockey. Then he went to Phoenix and became a world beater . Figure ???

True, but gotta figure that the Yotes have a top notch defense. I think that helped a lot.
