In almost every NHL city, hockeys offseason is over and fans are looking at the calendar, waiting for the 2016-17 season to begin. But in Tampa Bay, there are lingering questions that could affect confidence that the Lightning will reach a third straight appearance in the Eastern Conference finals -- or beyond.The Lightning came within one game of reaching the Stanley Cup finals in 2015-16, and thats while playing nearly the entire playoffs without superstar Steven Stamkos.General manager Steve Yzerman surprised many pundits by convincing Stamkos to remain in Tampa Bay at a reasonable price, as the former 60-goal scorer inked an eight-year contract with an $8.5 million average annual cap hit. He also extended franchise defenseman Victor Hedman, and re-signed young goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy and solid middle-six forward Alex Killorn.Outside of the re-signings, Yzerman has been pretty quiet. With a Cup-worthy roster and salary cap pushed to the max, there wasnt a lot the Lightning could do in terms of the free agent market. Plus, they have a number of promising prospects who could make an impact soon, such as Slater Koekkoek, Adam Erne and Brayden Point -- in addition to Jonathan Drouin, who is seemingly back in everyones good graces. There wasnt much reason to overpay on the free agent market.Before we crown the Lightning as the team to represent the East in the 2017 Stanley Cup finals, there are three major questions to be answered by Yzerman and the Lightning staff. Cameron Wake Jersey . Ronaldo produced a spectacular individual performance on Tuesday, scoring all three goals and guiding Portugal into the next years World Cup in Brazil with a 3-2 victory in Sweden. The Real Madrid forward has scored 66 goals in 2013, but the last three may be the boost he needs to upstage Messi after FIFA unexpectedly extended the voting period for the Ballon dOr to Nov. Brandon Doughty Jersey . Note: The Calgary Flames announced Tuesday that Sean Monahan would not be made available to Canadas World Junior team. http://www.officialauthenticdolphinsshop.com/authentic-ndamukong-suh-jersey.html . Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. Jay Cutler Jersey .2 billion agreement with Rogers Communications for the leagues broadcast and multimedia rights. Lawrence Timmons Jersey . The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends. A superb performance from Harlequins saw them bring an end to Saracens winning start to the season thanks to a 17-10 triumph at The Stoop.?Leicester were the last side to inflict a loss on the domestic and European champions, triumphing 21-13 at Welford Road on March 20, but Quins success at Twickenham Stoop was against a side armed with their England internationals.Two defeats and a narrow win over Bristol had given John Kingstons reign as director of rugby a disappointing start, but a victory founded on an unyielding defence and tries born out of both opportunism and skill has propelled them up the table.Tim Visser and Charlie Walker crossed in the first half, which they finished 17-0 ahead, before Saracens launched a fightback that gained momentum with Richard Wigglesworths try before ultimately falling short.Alex Lozowski has been a high-quality deputy for Owen Farrell, but Saracens missed the control and accuracy from the kicking tee of their England fly-half, who has yet to play this season due to a hip problem.And only the club will know how much of a distraction Chris Ashtons 13-week ban for biting has been in the build up to one of the Premierships feistier encounters.Yet Quins could also point to a cruel 24 hours on the injury front with the news that Jack Clifford had been ruled out until December with an ankle issue followed by the loss of three more of their England contingent. Marland Yarde was withdrawn from the starting XV shortly before kick-off due to a throat infection and Joe Marlers afternoon was over just seconds into the London derby after being accidentally knocked unconscious by Billy Vunipolas hip.To compound their misfortune captain Danny Care limped off shortly after half-time clutching his ribs, but the setbacks were unable to deter the 2012 champions as they repeateed Januarys triumph over their capital rivals at Twickenham Stoop.ddddddddddddThe loss of Marler inside the opening seconds was brushed aside as Quins raced into a 10-0 lead through an intercept try by Visser, who picked off Lozowskis loose pass, and the kicking of Tim Swiel. Saracens sought to stamp their authority on the match and enjoyed some success as they rolled downfield, but time and again they made uncharacteristic errors and all momentum was lost.Feverish work at the breakdown helped Quins win a penalty and they then pursued the line-out drive, assisted by Jim Hamilton repeatedly pulling down the maul.The referee played advantage, ready to award a fourth penalty in succession but the hosts spied their chance with a long pass from Swiel setting the backline moving. At fast pace the ball was spun right where the onrushing Mike Brown drew the last defender and sent Walker racing over.Swiel added the conversion and the lead had been stretched to a scarcely believable 17-0, although Browns unhurried approach to dealing with the ball by his corner flag caused mild panic. A try-saving enveloping tackle by Matt Hopper on Marcelo Bosch was the highlight of the last 10 minutes of the first half, most of which Quins spent camped on their goalline defiantly repelling a series of attacks.Their defence was breached moments after the interval, however, when Mike Ellery weaved into space and chipped ahead, gathering his kick via a kind bounce before feeding Wigglesworth to score.Both fly-halves struck the right post with penalty attempts and then Lozowski missed again as Saracens lamented the loss of the metronomic Farrell, enabling Quins to celebrate taking a prized scalp.
