Tampa Bay Lightning season thread

Love our Lightning and was wondering what other Hockey fans. Think about their chances of becoming a solid playoff team. Our new coach seems to have them playing much better this season. My fan bais is probably skewing my view but I think Tampa is going to do well this season. We'll see.....
WOOO HOOOOO
Hat Trick Stamkos !!!!!!!!

I hope Seattle buys them and we can get three divisions on both sides again. Ice hockey in TB...not a huge fan.

Lightning isn't going anywhere, but if they did.
We'd still love them
When I used to live in Tampa, going to the games was beyond awesome.
TV doesn't do Hockey justice, Hockey rocks live.

Boy, just looked
Lightning have Pittsburgh & Kings next
Starting the season with this below is no joke
@ Boston (Stanley Finals Team)
@ Chicago (Stanley Cup Champs)
@ Buffalo
Florida (Playoff Team last yr)
Pittsburgh (Playoff Team last yr)
Kings (Playoff Team last yr)
Lightning are 3-1 after those 1st 4 games with 6 total points gained. If they can get at least 2 points in these next two games(Pitt & Kings) I can't complain about all that after the Lightning seems to have drawn a tough start, and they've done OK. But..... it's a long season and there's still much work left to do without question. Just hope the Lightning is what I think they might be. The real deal this season with this promising new Head Coach leading things. Time will tell and this thread is witness to my bias hunch.

Well, you're in Ohio, and your opinion of hockey in TB means jack shite.

What? If any of the two Florida teams gets bought, it's not going to be the one in Tampa Bay.

Why did they go away from their original logo back in 1992?

Not sure, but here's a few things I found
*** Logo History ***
https://www.sportslogos.net/logos/list_by_team/27
*** Article talking about logo change ***
https://www.rawcharge.com/2013/1/31/3938324/two-years-later-thoughts-on-the-tampa-bay-lightnings-logo-and-uniform
**** Quotes from above article ****
"The local fans in the Tampa Bay area hated it."
"Whatever your opinion is, it would appear that what CEO Tod Leiweke, GM Steve Yzerman and owner Jeffrey Vinik set out to do - implement a classy, clean and clear mark to represent the Lightning franchise on and off the ice - has been achieved"
Sorta on topic:
I've got the unfortunate happenings of watching the Jacksonville Jaguars stink these days. Denver is next too, oh boy.....
It's bad enough we stink, but our new 2 tone helmet paint job is beyond terrible. https://news.sportslogos.net/2013/08/10/pics-jaguars-new-gradient-helmet-debuts/ Jags have such great colors too, and a flat black helmet would've rocked with their Cat logo. Oh well....
Lightning's regular season thoughts
Great game last night Pittsburgh. That was a tough one to lose in those final 20 seconds or so, and 1 point would've be nice from the Lightning's great effort. But that's how it goes sometimes in Hockey & Life. Pitt fans, your team showed some awesome resiliency last night on the road. They were rewarded with a hard fought win. Kudos....

Lightning 2-1 in last 3 games
Pittsburgh --- L
King --- W
Wild --- W
Two tough games ahead for the Lightning
Boston
Chicago
Wild was a scrappy team that stays on you like glue, tough win earned
Hopefully the Lightning can continuing growing as a team.

Lightning 1-1 the last 2 games
Boston --- L
Chicago --- W
Boston has got the Lightning's number, no doubt. The Lightning will never make The Stanley Cup Finals again. Until they figure that great Boston team out or avoid them in the playoffs. Still, the Lightning's 12 points earned outta of a possible 18 total points. Isn't to shabby when considering the tough beginning schedule they played. Hopefully the Lightning can continue growing and become a great Hockey Team.
Lightning's next 14 games

I know it's way early in the season, but these next 14 games(10 on-the-road) Will most likely play a crucial part with making the playoffs, and they need at least 10-14+ points these next 14 games. To stay within striking distance in the playoff hunt. Shoot, when considering those last 8 games in that 14 game stretch, maybe 10 points will do....LOL Will post results after this tough road run......

They look good enough to grab a playoff spot. I don't think they will fizzle the way they did after last year's hot start. The road trips will be telling.

With less than two minutes to play in Thursday's Blackhawks-Lightning game, Tampa Bay was trying to close out a thrilling 5-4 win in a game they were badly outplayed in for much of the night.
And then this happened to force overtime.

That above play is funny now, but at the time
We all lost it and was just hoping for at least a point
That should make ESPN's worst plays list

Wow. Hockey fans on the Rant. Whoda thunk it? And yea, I'm a hockey fan. And with Stamkos & St Louis, the Bolts certainly can light the lamp (2nd in the league in goals scored last year right?). But they need help on the blue line and in net. The "O" isn't gonna produce every night. But hey they did beat the Blackhawks last night so maybe they can be a playoff team.

Yep, shame Hockey isn't more popular
Great sport, especially live
You nailed the Lightning. We gotta improve a bunch defensively and defensive puck handling needs work too. We got fortunate to pull out those OT wins against Chicago. They outplayed us more than not, but points are points. The Lightning needs all they can get until they become a more complete Hockey team.

We're only 1 game into this very tough road stretch. We'll see if the Lightning can stay in the playoff hunt during this solid road test. I sure hope so because once you've experienced your favorite Hockey team in the playoffs, you yearn for that awesome feeling again. The chase for "The Cup" is unmatched, and the lore around NHL's Trophy is the best in sports. Ok.......I'm pumped, it's time to run through a wall.......Grrrrrrrrrr

Cool article on Lightning's success so far

I like the Lightning's new Head Coach, Jon Cooper, a bunch
I sure hope this team can keep improving under his leadership. The defense still needs work, but so far it's an improvement from last season. The younger players are starting to come into their own, and I've been impressed with Valtteri Filppula too. He was a nice pick-up during the off-season. When you team is off with these 3 or 5 day breaks. It's tough after you get used the 1 or 2 day turnarounds, but the players/coaches need rest too.
We just love our Lightning Hockey
