The Tampa Tribune’s<\/i> computer ate it’s editorial page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Dear Readers,
\nWe took a puck in the gut this morning when we published the wrong editorial about the Tampa Bay Lightning, who won the Stanley Cup final on Monday night.
\nWe apologize to the team and to the fans for our terrible error. And we apologize to our colleagues at the newspaper, who got it right in every other way.
\nIn advance of the final, we had prepared two editorials, one for either outcome. When we saw that the Lightning had won, we placed the proper editorial on the computerized page, printed it out and eliminated the other version. Still, somehow, the other version appeared on the page. We are checking our systems to ensure we learn from our mistake.
\nIt is so important to us to get it right. And today we failed you. We extend our heartfelt apologies.
\nRosemary Goudreau
\nEditorial Page Editor<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not exactly a misspelling or a typo in the box score. You’d think someone would catch it when they first started running the presses.
\nI’m not a knowledgeable hockey fan, but I caught pieces of the finals and it was a good series. Congratulations to the Lightning. Guess Canada should be feeling miffed. It’s been over a decade since a Canadian team has won a championship in their national sport, while here hockey hotbeds like Tampa, Florida are drinking from the Cup.
