Tampa Bay Lightning leaving FanDuel Sports Network for local affiliate

Lightning games will air on a newly launched Scripps-owned affiliate.

Calgary Flames star Ryan Lomberg gave an incredibly blunt and honest pregame interview when asked about the Tampa Bay Lightning.

"There was just the extra puck behind the net!"

"I sincerely apologize to all I offended. It has pained me more than the actual series loss itself."

"We might as well put skirts on them then if that's how it's gonna be."

"He is the Wayne Gretzky of announcers. My passion for this game is built on what Bob Cole said."

“He’ll never lose a fight now that he’s wearing the right sweater on NESN’s Bruins telecasts."

"Great telecast tonight."

"The official is clearly not aware that their mic is open."

"This is not a good look, quite frankly."

"What was the question?"

"You’ve got a fat woman who’s yapping like crazy here, or is that a guy with long hair? I can’t tell."

"Our radio broadcast plans for the playoffs will be consistent with the regular season."

"Was that you?" "No, no, it wasn't."

"Fasting! Inadvertent fasting for Pat Maroon is like four hours without a meal."

"We are about to unleash holy hell on you, Tampa Bay Lightning, and you have no idea what you’re in for."

Following decades of work in Canada with TSN and Sportsnet, Randorf is now heading to Tampa.

Peckham announced last September he'd retire after the 2019-20 season. He found an amazing way to go out.

Game 4 of the Devils-Lightning and Ducks-Sharks series will air on a network that has never before carried hockey.
