@Diandra_loux I know the season just ended but wondering if you have any thoughts how the Lightning might improve on the faceoff? Need someone other than Paul to win the draw 50% of the time imo

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@gregauman great insight here...Derek Nicholson was a pretty good player himself at FSU as I recall...unrelated topic .. Like the bucs draft a lot, especially the Miami pair. Don't know a thing about the TE but was hoping they grabbed USC's Lake McRee for that need. Exceptional route runner

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@Diandra_loux Can you please explain why the Lightning struggles to win face-offs? To me that was every bit as glaring as the ill advised penalties last night and I suspect could haunt it the rest of the series ... Especially when it's on the PK.

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@Diandra_loux forgive me if I missed it but is there an update on Hedman for the Montreal series? Thanks for another season of wonderful coverage, btw

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@JoJoFromJerz @atrupar Oh to have been a fly on the wall during the seances with the other 2 or 3 former presidents, hearing their thoughts on Iran and such.

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@gregauman Now I see Chubb is off the board. Oh well...appreciate your coverage

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@gregauman any chance the Bucs would look to sign edge rusher Bradley Chubb or AJ Epenesa? Surely can't hope the draft fills the most glaring deficiency?

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@gregauman I sure hope they add a veteran through free agency rather than giving up a high draft pick or two.

@Fox35Amy New to Orlando and enjoy your work every a.m. Would greatly appreciate an update on the Lake Eola swans/avian flu story.

@espn @ESPN_BillC No list is perfect and always elicit omissions. I have 2: Sam Darnold, USC, and Chris Weinke, Florida State. I get that Weinke played only 1 season in the 2000s, but that one resulted in a Heisman and a third straight national championship game for FSU.

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@Diandra_loux @TheHockeyNews Imagine if the NHL had not warned the teams...was it my imagination or did the Lightning break a record for the most time spent on the PK in a period (3rd). It seemed like the to line had about 3 shifts

@VanessaRuffes In case you miss Malfunction Junction from your old stomping grounds in Tampa

@gregauman Special teams. Inconceivable

@dannykanell I've been out of the sports reporter game for a while but I can't remember coaches getting fired in mid September before. Anomaly or a sign of a changing landscape?

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@MattLeinartQB Is it too early to suggest that Tennessee won the qb trade?

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@gregauman Best guess…does Sanders stay with the Bucs (practice squad) were it not for the punch?

@gregauman Besides the botched jet sweep and snap on final drive, the telling stat had to do with decision making by the HC. 4th and 3 and Bucs kicked a field goal. Washington went for how many 4th downs?!

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@caroljsroth @CIRights @NFIB Still trying to understand why this applies to condo boards

[Brian Landman @brian5k]

@caroljsroth Don’t worry. Congress will be on it.
