Lightning Embarrass Leafs, Bucs Free Agency Bombshells & USA Hockey Politics

by | Feb 26, 2026 | JP Peterson Show, Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay Lightning put on a clinic against the Toronto Maple Leafs — and we’re breaking it all down.

On this Thursday edition of The JP Peterson Show, JP Peterson and Timm “IndyCarTim” Hamm dive into the Lightning’s dominant performance, what it means in the Atlantic Division race, and whether this team is rounding into playoff form at the perfect time.

Plus, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are staring at a pivotal free agency window. Will Jason Licht go big and aggressive — or play it safe again? We examine potential splash moves, cap strategy, and whether Tampa Bay is one piece away from serious NFC contention.

And we’re not holding back on USA Hockey. The politics surrounding the national team have fans frustrated — and we’re calling it like we see it.

Hockey dominance. NFL free agency strategy. USA Hockey controversy.

It’s all on this jam-packed Thursday episode.
