Frederic and Lilleberg chuck 'em in a very spirited tilt!
The boys are feisty tonight!
Midway through tonight's game between the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning and the Bruins look to be exacting some revenge on Lightning blueliner Emil Lilleberg.
Lilleberg, of course, delivered a late cross check to the face of Mark Kastelic in the team's last matchup and tonight Lilleberg was forced to pay up, courtesy off Trent Frederic.

Old time hockey, baby!
Read below for our earlier report on the Lightning and their decision to scratch veteran Brayden Point.
This just in, the Tampa Bay Lightning have scratched forward Brayden Point from the lineup for tonight's game against the Boston Bruins for missing a scheduled team meeting.
Check it out:
Cue the 'No Point in Meetings' jokes...
In all seriousness, this is a justified move the the Lightning. Sure, Point may be one of their best players, but rules are rules and it doesn't matter who you are if you break the rules. The Lightning are a team with a rock solid culture of accountability, so it doesn't matter if you're a rookie or if you're a two time Stanley Cup champion... if you miss a team function, you've got to sit in shame and think about what you've done.
I have no doubt that Point will be setting two alarm clarks for the next team meeting.
