Lightning coach Jon Cooper gives his opinion on the return of Marty St. Louis to Tampa Bay on Wednesday night at Amalie Arena.
added 1:56pm, Pierre LeBrun talked with St. Louis...
Just how cool the Tampa Bay Lightning crowd is to No. 26 in his first game after forcing a trade to the New York Rangers last season certainly remains to be seen Wednesday night.
"I'm not sure, I'm expecting the worst. I'm OK with it, I understand the pain, I guess, that I gave the fans," St. Louis, 39, said on the phone from his Tampa hotel room. "It was so sudden, I think that sometimes it hurts more when it happens quick. I get how they would see it. But I think with time, and how everything has gone for both sides, hopefully some of those wounds have healed and they appreciate the years that I had there, not so much the time that I haven't been there. We'll see how it unfolds.''
The Lightning are planning to recognize St. Louis' return with a video during the first period, consistent with what they've done for other former players.
But this was no run-of-the-mill trade. This was the longtime pulse of the franchise forcing his way out.
