The Tampa Bay Lightning Home Opener is finally upon us. In just a few more hours, fans will begin filing into the Amalie Arena to bring the Thunder as the Tampa Bay Lightning do battle with the Philadelphia Flyers in the first official game of the 2015-16 season. For one member of the Tampa Bay Lightning, tonight is just a little closer to home.
As most of you know by now, just before the trade deadline Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Braydon Coburn was traded by the Philadelphia Flyers to the Lightning in exchange for former Lightning defenseman Radko Gudas.
