TAMPA — As good, if not great, as the Lightning penalty kill unit has been throughout the playoffs, C Nate Thompson said Tuesday the team is "playing with fire" by taking so many penalties against the Capitals.

Washington is 1-for-16 in this Eastern Conference semifinal on the power play. Its goal came from Alex Ovechkin on a 5-on-3 in the second period of Tampa Bay's 4-3 win in Game 3 on Tuesday. That snapped a streak of 32 consecutive kills by the Lightning.

But the Capitals also nearly had another power-play goal, by Mike Knuble in the first, which was nullified by a Washington penalty.

The Lightning has killed off 49 of 51 power plays in the playoffs (96 percent). But, LW Sean Bergenheim said, "it's not going to go on forever."

"We're taking penalties at key moments of the game. That could bite us," Thompson said. "And if we keep doing it, it's going to bite us."

It's not so much that Tampa Bay is taking penalties. It's the kind of penalties the Lightning is taking. Eight of the 16 calls against it in the first three games of this series were for hooking, and two were for holding.

"It's one thing to take a hitting penalty or roughing penalty," Thompson said. "If you're hitting a guy, that's okay, we'll kill those penalties. But it's the stick penalties, the tripping, holding, hooking. You can't do that. If we limit those, we'll be better."

OBJECTION: Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau said the Lightning's final goal, the winner from Ryan Malone that broke a 3-3 tie 5:47 into the third period, should not have counted.

"If you look at it, Malone's driving the net, and he pushes our player (defenseman John Carlson) into our goaltender (Michal Neuvirth) and (Neuvirth) can't kick out his right leg to make the save,'' Boudreau said. "It's a no-goal, no penalty call. … I don't think it should have counted."

NO WORRIES: It was scary for the Lightning early in the third when G Dwayne Roloson was face-first on the ice in the crease after Ovechkin's stick caught him underneath his mask. Roloson was attended to by head athletic trainer Tommy Mulligan and stayed in the game. Roloson said he was fine and didn't expect any problems going forward.

STILL OUT: Though the team said LW Simon Gagne (upper body) and D Pavel Kubina (upper body) are day-to-day, it doesn't appear either will be back until this weekend at the earliest.

Both missed their second consecutive game Tuesday after hitting their heads in Friday's Game 1 against the Capitals (Gagne on the ice, Kubina against the glass). They are doubtful for tonight's Game 4.

"If I want them to play (tonight), I better start praying," coach Guy Boucher said before Tuesday's game.

Kubina, in his first public comments since being injured, said he is getting "better and better every day" but declined to discuss any problems he might have and said he isn't sure when he'll return.

He also declined to comment on the hit that hurt him, a check into the glass by LW Jason Chimera, who used his elbow. A roughing penalty was called.

MISCELLANY: Boucher said C Blair Jones was "outstanding" in Tuesday's win, logging 5:59 of ice time.

With the Sun Dome expected to be under renovations until December or so, USF's athletic department has already contacted three local venues as the Bulls search for a combination of site to host nonconference men's and women's basketball games.

USF has about six or seven home men's games and likely four women's basketball games to relocate, though the women's team could wind up playing their games in The Corral. That's the home court for USF volleyball and a frequent practice site inside the Sun Dome, though it's still not certain that The Corral will be available for play during the renovations.

For USF's men, two of the three venues contacted by the Bulls are in downtown Tampa: The St. Pete Times Forum, which has hosted NCAA Tournament games, as well as the SEC and ACC tournaments in recent years; and the Bob Martinez Sports Center on the University of Tampa campus. USF associate athletic director Barry Clements has a meeting next week with officials from the Lakeland Center as well.

While the Bulls may play a single game in Lakeland as a gesture to USF's campus in Lakeland, the goal is to relocate the nonconference home games with as little inconvenience as possible to season ticket holders. UT's Martinez Center can hold about 3,600 fans, which would cover what USF has generally been able to draw to the Sun Dome for nonconference games. To use that arena, however, USF must have dates that do not conflict with UT's men's and women's basketball teams, as well as the Spartans volleyball team, which also uses the same court.

The Lakeland Center, which can seat 5,500 for basketball, has hosted the state's high school basketball championship and the NCAA Division II tournament. It's unlikely the Bulls would draw that much -- USF played Bethune-Cookman in Lakeland in 2004 and the game had an announced attendance of 768 fans. The Times Forum is the largest and logically most expensive option for USF and as such would be a suitable option if the renovations encounter unforeseen delays and force the Bulls to move Big East games off campus -- USF played Syracuse in the Times Forum in February and the game drew an announced crowd of 10,051.

Tampa Bay Rays Rays executive VP Andrew Friedman said his father's involvement in a group seeking to buy the Astros has no impact on his job with the Rays.

"This has no bearing on me professionally, and I'm very happy in my job,'' Friedman said. "And it would not be proper for me to comment on the business of another team.''

Friedman's father, Kenny, is heading a group of Houston investors seeking to buy the team, but admittedly playing from behind. Another Houston businessman, Jim Crane, has an exclusive negotiating window with team owner Drayton McLane. Kenny Friedman, a lawyer who also heads the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority, told Houston media he has the financial backing and has been approved by MLB.

There had already been speculation that Crane might try to hire Friedman, who like other top execs under Stuart Sternberg doesn't have a contract.

TAMPA — The season-ending ACL tear to the right knee of FC Tampa Bay goalkeeper Daryl Sattler means Clearwater native Jeff Attinella, a former star at Countryside High and USF, is elevated to the No. 1 position between the posts.

Attinella saw his first professional action in Saturday's 1-all tie with Atlanta after Sattler went down in the 10th minute. The 22-year-old rookie made three saves and allowed one goal in 80-plus minutes of action.

On Saturday, Attinella will make his first pro start at Al Lang Field against Carolina.

"I'm ready for the opportunity," he said. "I don't plan on the level of goal keeping dropping when I come in. It will probably take a couple games for the team to have full faith in me, but I'm ready for that challenge."

If there's one saving grace for Tampa Bay, it's that Attinella has been in this situation before. As a freshman at USF, Attinella was planning to redshirt, but a late-season injury to the Bulls' starter forced Attinella into action during a key stretch prior to the postseason. Attinella performed well, earned his first shutout in a home victory against St. John's and became the Bulls' full-time starter the next year as a sophomore.

In 61 matches at USF, Attinella posted a 38-14-9 record and a 0.79 goals allowed average.

"I've always seen him as a very capable, competent keeper," FC Tampa Bay coach Ricky Hill said. "When called upon, he's always played and produced quality moments."

As a native of St. Louis, what are some must-visit restaurants when you return to your hometown?

The Hill in St. Louis. It's a big Italian community in south St. Louis, and they have some amazing Italian restaurants. Some of my favorite food is Italian food. Pizza-wise, they have a place called Imo's. They have amazing thin-crust pizza. They're known for that for many years.

What do you like about living in Florida?

Obviously the weather is very nice. It's not 100 degrees yet, but I love the weather. Florida's great. You get to go to the beach, the beach is 20-30 minutes away. I have a girlfriend here, and she absolutely loves doing that so I find myself at the beach quite a bit. I don't tan too well. I can last about two hours and then I need to get out of there.

Best soccer experience?

Probably winning a national championship at Indiana University (2002 and 2003). …That was an amazing experience. They'll never be able to take that away from me. That was probably the most exciting time of my soccer career.

Take us through your game-day preparation.

Nothing really crazy. I eat light before games and listen to music. Kind of just get in my own little zone. I don't really like talking to too many people. The guys on the team know I kind of just sit and think of the game, visualize scoring goals. …I'm not too pleasant on game days. Just try to focus as much as possible and get my mind right.

Out of the box

Sattler's injury not only deprives Tampa Bay of one of its best players for the duration of the season, but it leaves the team short-handed, temporarily, at the position.

Attinella is the only goalkeeper on Tampa Bay's roster. So who gets plugged into emergency duty should Attinella become injured?

"Looking at the players and their characters, I would guess we would have a few candidates," Hill said. "My two I would probably put forward before anyone would be someone like Frankie (Sanfilippo) and J.P. Rodrigues. I guess they would volunteer. I haven't seen them in between the nets."

Hill indicated the team will test out a few players in goal at practice before the Carolina game.

"We can probably get a handful of possible candidates and then whittle it down from there as to who looks the most competent at this moment in time. But again, if we play well enough, if we defend well enough as a team. …I like to think (goalkeepers) can be passengers at times where we're carrying them. They're not overworked."

TAMPA — The season-ending anterior cruciate ligament tear in the right knee of FC Tampa Bay goalkeeper Daryl Sattler means Clearwater native Jeff Attinella, a former standout at Countryside High and USF, is elevated to the No. 1 position between the posts.

Golf is not a contact sport. So why can the game be so physically painful sometimes?

There is golfer's elbow, wrist problems, shoulder problems, hip problems and leg problems. But the most common injury in golf is back pain. The golf swing starts and stops with back movement. With over 100 swings (practice and real) during an 18-hole round, it's easy to see why golfer's come down with back pain.

"When you play a sport, you're at risk for an injury,'' said Lisa Chase, a physical therapist who owns Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy in St. Petersburg. "It's just part of sports. But there is a lot that you can do to prevent it.''

Warm up

Chase has worked with athletes for over 20 years. From 1998 to 2009, she worked with the World Tennis Association as the Director of Sports Sciences and Medicine Athletic Care before focusing on her own practice. She is also an adjunct professor at Michigan State University.

She treats numerous patients who have suffered back injuries while playing golf. According to Chase, there are ways to prevent back injuries.

"Just doing a proper warmup is going to decrease your injuries,'' Chase said. "Golf is a rotational sport. If you don't have good rotation throughout the joints that need to rotate, and commonly people don't, then you rotate right through and create a lot of repetitive stress in the back.''

Chase's advice is to mimic the actions of a golf swing prior to the first tee. She suggests putting a club behind your neck and doing rotational movements.

"We like to see something that is more dynamic,'' Chase said. "You want to try to mimic the movement you're getting ready to do. Instead of passively stretching, you want to do a little bit of cardio. Increase the blood flow to the muscles.''

Once the round is completed, Chase suggests stretching as part of a cool down. Just putting the clubs in the trunk and sitting down could cause the back to tighten. Golfers can use a band, or a towel, stretched above the head. Do some trunk twists and waist bends to give the back one final stretch.

If these steps are taken and back pain persists, then there is likely a bigger problem.

The next step

Chase believes many back injuries are caused by inadequate spinal, hip and shoulder mobility. Before seeing a therapist like Chase, she suggests seeing a golf pro to clean up mechanics.

"They can look at how you move to make sure you have good rotation throughout,'' Chase said.

But even the best golfers in the world succumb to back pain. A golf swing puts tremendous torque on the back. When golfers complain about any sort of golf-related injury, Chase goes to the back.

"If they complain about golfer's elbow, for example, I'm going right to the spine,'' Chase said. "It's because they can't rotate enough in their spine and they overcompensate either at the shoulder or the wrist. That's putting a load on the elbow or shoulder or neck.''

Chase said she will watch how a golfer moves and will try to get them better aligned. Many golfers bend over too much, or have swings that are too reliant on the back. Her main focus is to make sure a golfers rotation fits their body.

"We can look and make sure you have good rotation throughout the body,'' Chase said. "That should definitely decrease the impact.''

Once that is done, it's all about maintenance.

Staying flexible

Camille Raciopio is a trained pilates instructor who works with Chase. She is also a golfer, so she knows the kind of stretches and exercises that will benefit the golf swing. Raciopio believes the key to avoiding back problems is to stay flexible.

Flexibility increases the amount of turn and club head speed a golfer has, which makes for better and longer shots.

"There have been several golfers who have told me their games have gotten better after doing some pilates,'' Raciopio said. "They are hitting it farther than they ever have.''

That may be true, but the main focus is to have golfers stay on the course instead of on a physical therapist's table. Raciopio will not only use stretching exercises, but there are also pilates machines that simulate a golf backswing and follow through, and that simulate the side-to-side trunk movement.

"The key is to inhale on the upswing,'' Raciopio said. "And exhale on the downswing. That's where all the power comes from.''

PLANT CITY — They often behaved as if their water cooler had been caffeinated.

As a veteran team, the Plant City Raiders were low on maintenance, but high on energy.

During pregame introductions at Tuesday's Class 5A region final, some Raiders did a cartwheel as their name was announced. Others danced in front of their dugout between innings as Cotton-Eyed Joe blared from the public-address system.

And their dugout chants? You could hear them in Lithia.

"We are not a shy bunch at all," senior catcher Taylor Storey said last weekend.

How excruciatingly ironic, then, that the Raiders' most crucial noisemaker — their bats — went silent when it counted most.

In the season's final two games, including Tuesday's 4-3 loss to nationally-ranked Bartow, Plant City (23-7) had big first innings, then failed to score again.

"I don't have an answer for that one," senior right fielder Kellsey Bruner said.

It made for a baffling, bittersweet end to arguably the best softball season in school history.

In Friday's region semifinal against Durant, the Raiders scored two runs on a pair of hits in the first, then managed only four hits the rest of the game. Still, they held on for a 2-1 victory.

Tuesday, their auspicious start didn't stand up. Plant City took a 3-1 first-inning lead on four hits — including Kacie Booth's two-out, two-run single — but managed only three hits the rest of the game.

Bartow, meantime, chipped away, tying the game in the fifth and scoring the go-ahead run in the sixth on leadoff batter Brittani McNeil's two-out RBI-triple.

"We should've been able to keep up with them," coach Heidi Kouveras said.

"You can't score in the first inning and not score again. … They knew coming into it that we were going to have to go hard the whole game, which they did. They just got too overzealous with their swings."

For this team, overachieving preceded overzealousness.

The Raiders' senior class — Bruner, Storey, ace Mackenzie Audas and first baseman Chelsea Hanks — helped orchestrate one of the program's best four-year runs.

During that span, Plant City won more than 70 games, earned three playoff berths, won a district title and reached the region title game for only the third time in program history.

"I think team chemistry has everything to do with it," Bruner said. "The amount of talent we have on the team and the way we get along, it just made for an amazing season."

USF men's basketball coach Stan Heath suddenly has an opening on his staff, as Jeremy Cox, a top assistant and recruiter for the Bulls for the past two seasons, is leaving to join Doc Sadler's staff at Nebraska.

Heath confirmed Wednesday that Cox was leaving the Bulls to be reunited with Sadler, who he coached with as an assistant at Arkansas-Fort Smith in 2002-03. Cox was a key part of Heath's staff, not only in coaching but in helping the Bulls land a slew of top junior college recruits in the past two years -- guards Jawanza Poland and Hugh Robertson this year and incoming recruits Andre Jackson and Blake Nash.

The Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star first reported the possibility of Cox joining the Nebraska staff, citing unnamed sources. Cox had also expressed an interest in returning to his home state of Wyoming for the Cowboys' head coaching job, which has since been filled.

What's hot: Many tarpon have been caught from Egmont Key to Anclote Key. For the next few months, large schools can be found along gulf beaches. The stronger tides surrounding this week's new moon will have tarpon congregating around the mouth of Tampa Bay and deepwater passes along the coast. The strong afternoon outgoing tide will flush out crabs, shrimp, mullet and other baitfish.

Tactics: Suspending crabs, pinfish or threadfin herring beneath corks at varying depths keeps baits in the line of sight. Bridge fishing at night works well for the strong outgoing tides around the full and new moon. Free-line a live threadfin in the eddy behind the pilings or cast shrimp or scaled sardines to fish cruising the bridge's shadow line. Bridge fishing at night works better around the new moon because the lights on the bridge create a more defined shadow line.

"It's like in golf. A lot of people — I don't want this to sound trivial — but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive. It's weird. You see these great players with these really long putters because they can't sink 3-footers anymore. And I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist."
