The season starts today for the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Florida Panthers. The two teams have different expectations but both want to be in the playoffs. The Lightning are aiming for the Cup. They’ve not been shy about embracing that challenge. The Panthers want to recover from back-to-back disappointing years after making the playoffs in 2016 before being upset by the New York Islanders. Fans on both sides have been clamoring for a playoff series between the two teams and that seems like a real possibility this year.
