In four years, the Tampa Bay Lightning went from Stanley Cup champions to a reclamation project. They also appear to have the pieces in place to make their journey back to elite status a quick one.

Featuring new ownership, a new coach and top overall pick Steven Stamkos, the Lightning kick off the 2008-09 season on Saturday in the Czech Republic with the first of two games against the retooled New York Rangers.

In 2004, Tampa Bay won its only Stanley Cup championship before recording two straight 90-plus point campaigns after the lockout. Last season, though, the Lightning (31-42-9) had the fewest wins in the league, and tied Los Angeles for last with 71 points.

I know this has been on you tube awhile, but I like it so here it is again.

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Lance Armstrong may have to accept a supporting role to Astana teammate Alberto Contador in next year’s Tour de France, the team cycling director said Thursday.

Johan Bruyneel ruled out a departure from Astana by Spain’s Contador, who won the Tour de France, Italy’s Giro and Spain’s Vuelta in little more than a year. The two will have to cooperate, he said.

“At the end of the day, the strongest rider will be supported, regardless of that person’s name or what they’ve accomplished in the past,” Bruyneel said in a news release.

And he left no doubt who was strongest now.

“Alberto has had a magnificent year and is currently the best professional cyclist in the world,” Bruyneel said.

After leading Armstrong to seven Tour victories before his initial retirement in 2005, Bruyneel took Contador to victory in the 2007 Tour, and after Astana was denied entry this year, Contador won the Giro and Vuelta instead.

“Lance must prove that he has the physical ability to win big races,” Bruyneel said.

“This is not the first time that big names have all been on the same team. It has worked out in the past and I’m confident for the same in 2009.”

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Brad Lidge has a shot to cap his perfect season with a World Series ring. Cliff Lee should be ready to clear room in the trophy case for a Cy Young Award. First, the two pitchers received a different honor Tuesday when they were selected Comeback Players of the Year.

Lee was 22-3 with an American League-leading 2.54 ERA for the Cleveland Indians and could be their second consecutive Cy Young winner. He went 5-8 with a 6.29 ERA last year and was demoted to the minor leagues.

Lidge was a perfect 41-for-41 in save opportunities as the NL East champion Philadelphia Phillies’ closer. In 2007, he converted just 19 of 27 for the Houston Astros and lost his spot as an elite closer.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – Flanked by his two 7-footers, a basketball in his hands, another season stretching in front of him, Kobe Bryant narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips. This was the same cold stare that had chilled opponent and teammate alike, the same withering glare Bryant had flashed from that podium in Boston on the night the Celtics shoved his Los Angeles Lakers from the NBA Finals. Bryant’s eyes, once again, burned with defiance.

For a moment, anyway. The photographer gave his cue, the flashbulbs popped and Kobe Bryant instantly melted into a smile.

“I’m happy,” he would say some 30 minutes later, still grinning during a media session on the eve of training camp.

Given that the franchise’s fortunes have shifted season-to-season on Bryant’s moods for more than a decade now, this qualified as good news, though hardly surprising. As Bryant said himself: These days, there’s a lot to be happy about..
