The Tampa Bay Lightning had one heck of a regular season, filled with franchise and league records alike. Tonight, the accomplishments of the past fade to black. Well…at least for now. The Lightning charged into the Amalie Arena to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets in Game 1 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Everyone in the Amalie Arena and around the Bolts Nation had chills by the time the puck dropped to start tonight’s postseason battle. Judging by the opening minutes of the game, the tension on the ice rivaled the excitement in the stands.
