Tony Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 (edited) http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=158841&hubname= Canadian Press 3/16/2006 4:15:10 PM TAMPA, Fla. (CP) - Veteran goalie Sean Burke of the Tampa Bay Lightning is out indefinitely after sustaining a broken finger in practice Thursday. The Lightning recalled Gerald Coleman from Springfield of the AHL to backup starter John Grahame. Burke's right index finger was placed in a splint Thursday. He will be re-evaluated by the Lightning medical staff next week. Burke is 11-9-3 this season with a 2.92 goals-against average and a .892 save percentage. Coleman, 20, went 13-17-3 with the Falcons this season with a 3.54 GAA and .890 save percentage. The 6-4, 205-pound goaltender spent the past three seasons with the OHL's London Knights, helping them to capture the 2005 OHL championship and the 2005 Memorial Cup. Wow that's going to hurt the team. It's not bad enough the Bolts had to go with two decent goalies, now they got a decent goalie and a no name farmer (no name in the NHL that is). This could be the break the Trashers need. Edited March 16, 2006 by Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 And Burke had just started gaining some confidence back. Grahame is still crapping the net night in, night out. We are now guaranteed a playoff spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Gotta agree with BTH here... I think this ensures the Habs a spot in the playoffs! ... Unless of course Grahame gets hott and manages to lead the way.... now that'd be surprising! Better yet... maybe Gerald Coleman (the goalie called up to back up Grahame) will win the starting job and lead the Lightning to in and through the playoffs!

Electron Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I hope TB misses the playoffs.. it would be great to see the team who won the cup because it was fixed(You Suck Fraiser.) and then come back the next season and miss the playoffs.

JMMR Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I would love to see TB miss the playoffs as that would aid the Canadiens in their hopes. Hey Kerplunk long time no see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsniper Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I love how Flames fans blame that whole series on Fraser. Totally ignoring the fact they choked in Game 7. I came to hate the Lightning during that series though. I hated seeing Richards and St.Louis's smug little faces all the time. I hope they do miss the playoffs. The Stanley Cup in Florida is wrong.

smon Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Hey, remember the Carolina series? Montreal blamed it on Fraser too! At least Therrien did.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 The Burke injury definitely helps the teams trying to catch the Lightning...Grahame is inconsistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Tampa plays tonight, they host the Flyers, let us hope for a rout in favour of Hitchcock's Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Tampa plays tonight, they host the Flyers, let us hope for a rout in favour of Hitchcock's Boys. I can definitely see it happening. What I'm worried about is that Atlanta passes us but Ottawa/Buffalo doesn't pass Carolina so we have to play them. Or that Atlanta doesn't pass us but some other team does pass Carolina. I feel that we can take down any team in the East but Carolina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
