Not sweating the details

I might have been the only one to notice, but the new Tampa Bay Lightning sign hanging outside the St. Pete Times Forum contains a pretty serious error.

The sign, sandwiched between a couple of tall ads for Heineken, shows the Lightning's newly anointed Big Four -- Vinny Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, Dan Boyle and Steven Stamkos, the team's No. 1 draft pick for 2008.

The only problem, however, is that the sign shows Stamkos, wearing a No. 91 Lightning sweater in game action, as a lefthanded shot. Sorry, but he's a righthanded shot.

And, for the sake of accuracy, it matters.
