The expectations were incredibly high for the Tampa Bay Lightning coming into their 25th Anniversary Season. There were a number of key changes to the lineup and quite a few young faces coming into the storyline. What people didn’t know at the time is how intensely the Lightning would blow these expectations out of the water.
The Lightning has gotten off to one of the best starts in recent history this season. The Bolts are currently one game shy of reaching the halfway point in the season and they have consistently lit the path for every other team in the league almost all season long.
