This just in, the Tampa Bay Lightning have scratched forward Brayden Point from the lineup for tonight's game against the Boston Bruins for missing a scheduled team meeting.
Check it out:
Cue the 'No Point in Meetings' jokes...
In all seriousness, this is a justified move the the Lightning. Sure, Point may be one of their best players, but rules are rules and it doesn't matter who you are if you break the rules. The Lightning are a team with a rock solid culture of accountability, so it doesn't matter if you're a rookie or if you're a two time Stanley Cup champion... if you miss a team function, you've got to sit in shame and think about what you've done.
I have no doubt that Point will be setting two alarm clarks for the next team meeting.
