Now, I know it's been forever and I'm a big fat blogging liar. But I hope you can forgive me and listen to my small rant.

Tomorrow is July 1st, the day Vinny's new contract kicks in. Today, they are posting articles about voting for your favorite T-Shirt design for Hedman. Are you kidding me?

Maybe it's just me - but I'm so sick and tired of the organization just really owning up to anything, and just handing the fans fluff in hopes we'll forget what's going down.

Yes, I'm glad they got their draft pick, but do you honestly think it's going to be Victor Hedman that's going to save us? Didn't they learn last year when they put all of this pressure on Stamkos? You can't just have one guy produce. You need a whole team. But you can't build a team when you have the owners bickering like the Odd Couple.

The worst thing that ever happened to the team is when Oren Koules signed the dotted line, and turned the team into a horror movie.

Moral of the story: Please own up to your mistakes and quit acting like "Together We Will" fix anything. If the fans had a say, I'm willing to bet the team would be coming together quite nicely. Personally, I believe the fans have a better shot than the people who sit in the owner's box. At least the fans would have the best interest of the team, and not the best interest of our pockets.

/end rant.

Miss Conduct is now Mrs. Conduct! Hense the whole not blogging thing. But finally, the tides have calmed down and Mr. Conduct and I are settled in. Now, I can finally dedicate my time to my second love...

I would like to take this moment to say that Rick Tocchet is a little firecracker and I love it. Who knows if he'll take the team and transform them into a team that starts winning...but he's sure fun to watch. I wasn't shocked last Friday when I read that Melrose got cut. The only thing I'm surprised about is that it took as long as it did. Good effort, Melrose but it just wasn't going to happen for you here.

The team is dangerously close to last place in the Eastern Conference. A spot the team is all too familiar if considering last season. I can't help but wonder what it is going to take for the team to just wake up and function.

I'll be asking this tonight at Hockey and Heels. I will also be throwing myself at Bobby Taylor so he'll remember me when I try to intern with the Lightning during my last semester of Journalism. Hopefully my plan will work. More so, let's hope I don't get kicked out.
