The transaction wire blip barely created a buzz in the grand scheme of things Monday.

But Tampa Bay's recall of goaltender Karri Ramo from Springfield did raise some eyebrows, especially on the heels of Sunday's embarrassing 7-1 loss in Washington in which starter Johan Holmqvist and Marc Denis were each pulled from the game.

"Karri Ramo is not here just to practice, he is not here to get to know his buddies so he is better prepared for training camp next year," Tortorella said. "He has done some really good things [in Springfield] and played really well. I haven't been satisfied with the goaltending, and how could I be? So now he is part of the equation."

If this is a move to light a fire under Holmqvist and Denis, why can't Torts and Feaster do a callup of one of the Bolts D prospects to light a fire under Sarich and Pratt?
