Quick Strikes: Victor Hedman meets the Swedish Coalition, the Lightning defeat the Islanders

Last night, the Tampa Bay Lightning faced the New York Islanders. It was Military Appreciation Night, and the Lightning, as always, kicked things off in style.

I mean, just...this. That’s all.

Our very own @sonnisings was joined tonight by Mr. Robert McClintock, a retired U.S. Army Air Corps lieutenant, for an absolutely INCREDIBLE anthem.

Mr. McClintock is a World War II veteran and will turn 100 in four days. Legend! pic.twitter.com/TTKy9w3Bew— Tampa Bay Lightning (@TBLightning) November 9, 2018

Leading up to the evening’s events, Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman had the opportunity to visit members of the Swedish Coalition during a visit to MacDill Air Force Base.
