It’s been four months and seventeen days since the Tampa Bay Lightning left Toronto on the heels of a 2-1 loss. They return to Hogtown somewhat healthier (or at least we hope so) and ready to compete for the Stanley Cup. All twelve Eastern Conference teams arrived in the hub city on Sunday and settled into their respective hotels (where a few were met with a nice little touch from their organization).
It’s their home away from home for the next few months and it’ll be interesting to see how the players adapt to their new surroundings.
