The goal: to score a goal Name recognition As Lightning players last week walked to the Hockey and Hearts luncheon, a charity event in
which players deliver Valentine’s Day gift packages, goalie Mike McKenna playfully pointed out that he was the only one without a name on the back of the alternate blue jersey players wore so they could be easily identified. Even Josef Melichar, in his first day with the team, had a name on his jersey. Equipment manager Ray Thill said it was simply an oversight. “Nothing to look into,” he said. Those were the days Marty St. Louis and Vinny Lecavalier are the last remaining players from the Lightning’s 2004 Stanley Cup team. Reminded of that recently, St. Louis, above, took a small stroll down memory lane. “It’s hard sometimes to sit back and realize where we are,” he said. “I’ve been in this dressing room when champagne was everywhere. It seems like a long time ago.”
