“He's not disappointed. He's (ticked) off. I want him (ticked) off. I think it's fantastic for the Tampa Bay Lightning. To me, there's nothing better than an aggravated player, and Johnny is aggravated.”

“I think 0-2 is worse than 1-4. It's not like the schedule gets any easier with Tampa coming and at Carolina. You look internally and try to fix the problems. Obviously, we have a lot to fix.”
Ryan Longwell
“I think teams are starting to realize, if you guys are going to face Tampa Bay it's not that rollover game like it was in the first half, ... Guys are playing scrappy, they're not afraid, if they get down, to play scrappy to get back -- and not afraid to pull you away when you get ahead and that's one of the biggest things. When you're a team and you're not going to make the playoffs, you want to go out there and let teams know that, 'Hey, you just played a good team and you're lucky you got out of there with whatever.' You want them to remember that it wasn't just 'show up at the park and win.' You want them to know, 'Hey, we just had a very tough series.'”
Joe Borowski
“The difference between the right word and almost the right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.”
Mark Twain
“While rain might have contributed to [the limb] falling, it was not the sole cause. It's not as though lightning struck it.”
Lucille Baur
“It's really not at all that well understood, Nobody really knows what starts a lightning stroke.”
Steven Cummer
“I think it's a close-knit group, and the seniors are a lightning rod for that. The underclassmen like and respect them, so they want to see them have some success.”
