From Erik Erlendsson at the Tampa Tribune
The training room inside the Lightning locker room resembled a corner coffee house during the preseason - it’s where everyone seemed to assemble.
And it wasn’t all just for social hour.
Tampa Bay’s media relations staff found itself dealing with daily injury reports as much as any other request since training camp opened Sept. 13. It got to be so epidemic-like that by the end of the second exhibition game - and on more than one occasion since - Lightning coach John Tortorella informed his players not to discuss anything related to injuries with members of the media.
