One Dollar Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 ... for tanking against Ottawa and securing the Lightning as division Champs for their first division championship ever in franchise history With two games left I'm sure they could have extended their 13 game unbeaten streak and did it themselves but the cushion feels good. Caps had a tough road to hoe through Canada recently and I expect that the Caps & Lightning will meet in the first round of the playoffs so it's far from over. Just feels good to be able to break out my old Brian Bradley sweater and reminisce what home game playoff Hockey was like back in 1996 when the Lightning were last in and had a home game.

Brave Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Quite a memorable year for Tampa Bay sports fans so far isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Dollar Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Yes it is! It's like a dream. I know the Lightning are a real long shot to go far in the playoffs but to at least not be a laughing stock on the ice is a nice change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySkins Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 With some of the young players the Lightning have it was only a matter of time before they became a pretty good time. You could tell three years ago that LaCavelier was a budding superstar. Should be a good series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 What are Caps? I thought this was going to be some thread about financial derivatives... Why would a guy from the reigning SB town waste time with such drivel? OD, are you really a closet Canadian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Dollar Posted April 7, 2003 Author Share Posted April 7, 2003 Canadian? No, I was just amazed that the Lightning and Bucs both made the playoffs in the same season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted April 7, 2003 Share Posted April 7, 2003 Tampa has a hockey team? At least Pittsburgh isn't in the playoffs, maybe we'll advance somewhere this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
