Town hall meeting (the aftermath)

Every now and then I like handing over this space to you guys, and I think Tuesday night's town hall meeting is one of those opportunities. I could give you my analysis of how it went, but, really, this meeting was not for me or any other media member. It was for you guys, the fans, and by a rough count, about 500 of you showed up at the St. Pete Times Forum and peppered ownership, management, coach Barry Melrose and Vinny Lecavalier with many questions in a 90-minute event.

So, anyone who was there, let us know what you thought. How did the owners handle the question about Dan Boyle. Were you satisfied with the answers about team toughness? What do you think of mullet night or of Vinny Lecavalier perhaps one day having mini Vinnies?

Just have to say one quick word about Lecavalier, who, as always, was gracious and giving with his time, signing autographs for a line of season ticket holders 400 strong.

This is what he said after the town hall meeting: "When I started in the NHL, I considered Montreal my home. Now, 10 years later, I consider Tampa my home also."

Nice.
