The 2015-16 NHL season comes to a close this weekend. The second season, the NHL playoffs, will get underway shortly. That benchmark, making the playoffs, is worth noting for a couple of noteworthy feats:
- The Tampa Bay Lightning, by clinching a playoff berth in general, have made the NHL ----playoffs for the 9th time in the club's 23 year history. That puts the Bolts (in their 23rd season of existence) one playoff berth short of the total number of playoff appearance by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their 40 year history.
