Lecavalier is a Man U fan


I will hold my own personal feelings aside (I hate Man U, oops, did I say that out loud?) and report that the Tampa Bay Lightning captain, Vinny Lecavalier, stopped by Old Trafford while on vacation this off season.

You can check out the feature at the Lightning website. Pretty good stuff actually.

Many of the Canadian and European Bolts are soccer fans, so I hope that the Rowdies are able to do some cross promotions down the road. Would be nice to see Lightning players kicking out the first ball or whatever. Signing autographs. Etc.

The article details Vinny's trip to Thailand and a stop over in England to catch a derby match between the Red Devils and Rodney Marsh's old club, Manchester City. Of course, being a nitpicker (among other things), I would like to point out that the article implies that Manchester is in London. Get a map. It ain't, but, whatever. It is a soccer reference, what do I really care if they don't know geography?

Also in the same series of articles, you will find the summer exploits of Andrej Meszaros, a Slovakian defender that has been with the Lighting for one season. He hit quite a few spots in Europe including an AC Milan match.
