In a trade that truly left us in shock and awe, the Tampa Bay Lightning have traded rookie standout Cory Conacher to the Ottawa Senators for the services of Ben Bishop, yet another NHL back-up goaltender.
To have a good laugh at the Lightning, we bring you the best tweets:

“It’s always a little shocking,” says Conacher. “A new start in Ottawa. I’m excited to go to Ottawa.”

Whoa, Tampa gave up Conacher? But he was the heir apparent to Marty St. Louis’ hilariously tiny throne!

May I bill Yzerman for all the marketing stuff we’ve printed with Cory Conacher in a TB uniform?

This Conacher trade is going to come back & bite Yzerman in a bad, ugly way. #TBLightning

On a day that hasn't had much entertainment, we should all take a moment to laugh at Steve Yzerman and our Southeast Division opponents.
