In Lyle "Spector" Richardson's article on Fox Sports website, it is discussed how the Tampa Bay Lightning might have "potential" problems with their defense...

You think? So far, the Tampa Bay Lightning (in my opinion at least) have made the biggest splash this offseason, signing players like Ryan Malone, Gary Roberts, Mark Recchi, Vaclav Prospal, Olaf Kolzig, and signing #1 draft pick Steven Stamkos. Who they have not signed however, are defensemen.

I think the new ownership has completed their goal of improving this team, but it still shocks me on how little they have improved their defense. Like most sports, the common phrase is "Defense wins championships". The article that Spector writes is an article that brings out the problems that Tampa Bay has not resolved.

If you have a chance, check out the article. The only thing I disagree with is that this is a "potential problem". It is definitely a problem.
