TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed free agent center Valtteri Filppula (FIHL-poo-luh, VAL-tuhr-ee) to a five-year contract today, vice president and general manager Steve Yzerman announced. 

“We are pleased to sign Valtteri to a five-year contract today,” Yzerman said.  “We feel he is an outstanding, all-around centerman who brings a winning pedigree to our organization. He fills a much-needed position for us at center and his skill, work ethic and character will make him a great addition to our team.  On behalf of the Lightning we’d like to welcome him to the organization.”

Game #2 Audio from the Scrum

The Hockey News has been archiving audio from the winner’s dressing room after each game. 

Go here to hear Scotty Bowman share his thoughts, then scroll down the page and you’ll find links to commentary from Niklas Lidstrom, Brad Stuart, Valteri Filpulla and Johan Franzen.

On a related note, a comment from Paul that I thought I’d pass on:

After Babcock finished his post game press conference, he met with Scotty for about ten minutes, one on one, going over the game.  How much of a help Bowman is to the Wings, we may never know, but it certainly cannot hurt to have Bowman use his “consultant” role to the fullest extent.
