It’s not as sexy as it sounds, but during practice Tuesday, the Tampa Bay Lightning players had a “strip shootout.” Basically, anytime you missed a shot you had to remove an article of clothing. But because hockey players wear so much gear, even the worst shooter — Martin St. Louis — never showed much skin.
St. Louis, in order, discarded his helmet, elbow pads, gloves, jersey, both leg pads, both skates, his leggings and socks before finally scoring. Most entertaining was watching St. Louis try a breakaway while wearing one skate, and then while wearing a pair of sandals from the locker room after he discarded his second skate.

Cool Tampa Bay Lightning story - last December, I was at a birthday dinner with a group of friends (about 8-10 of us) at an upscale restaurant in downtown Atlanta. At the table next to us was a group of six very attractive guys…..all dressed very well for a night on the town. Seeing six guys at a table with no women…well, you can guess what we assumed. Of course, we proceeded to flirt with them all night and they knew it…..even sending a bottle of wine to their table. Our waiter finally told us that they were members of the Lighning in Atlanta to play the Thrashers. They totally got a kick out of the fact that we flirted with them. They left before we did and when our meal was over, they had covered our entire check.

Martin missed on purpose, he’s a really good shooter. Good to know.
