File this away

I guess the biggest lesson I've learned this preseason is that teams seldom stay overnight. Not one of the Tampa Bay Lightning's preseason guests have stayed over before a game.

Less than a week ago, Dallas flew in just in time to play. Washington flew in early enough Saturday for some players, including Alexander Ovechkin and Alexander Semin, to be seen inside of two downtown Tampa hotels. And Detroit, who lost 4-3 to the Lightning tonight, arrived before the game.

I'll have to chalk this up to experience and remember that next preseason. The season's long enough, and I don't like to waste my time and energy.
