Tampa Bay Lightning History
The Tampa Bay Lightning joined the league as an expansion team (along with the Ottawa Senators) in 1992, and earned their first berth in the Playoffs in the 1995-1996 season. The Bolts began to achieve consistent success in 2002-2003; the key ingredient was 1998 first-round draft pick Vincent Lecavalier, a center who went on to play 14 seasons for the Lightning and set almost every team scoring record.
After making the second round in the 2002-2003 Playoffs, the Bolts rocketed to the Stanley Cup Final the following season behind the league's scoring leader, Martin St. Louis, the goaltending of Nikolai Khabibulin, and the efforts of Lecavalier, Brad Richards, Fredrik Modin, Ruslan Fedotenko, Cory Stillman, and captain Dave Andreychuk. The Lightning defeated the Calgary Flames in a Stanley Cup Final that included four games decided by one goal, two of which came in overtime. Fedotenko scored both goals in the clinching 2-1 victory in Game 7.
The Lightning flirted with Playoff success the next two seasons, but struggled for three years after that. After bringing in Hall of Famer Steve Yzerman as general manager, the team returned to the Playoffs in 2010-2011, 2013-2014, and again the following season, when the Bolts — boasting the highest-scoring offense in the league — won 50 games, and the Eastern Conference title. They dispatched the Detroit Red Wings, Montreal Canadiens, and New York Rangers in a hard-fought series en route to the Stanley Cup Final, where they ultimately lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in six games.
Powered by the scoring of Nikita Kucherov and Steven Stamkos, the Lightning contended again in 2015-2016, only to be turned away in the conference finals by the eventual winner of the Stanley Cup Championship, the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Lightning subsequently went on to win back-to-back titles, taking home the Stanley Cup Championship in 2020 and 2021, becoming the first-ever team to win two Stanley Cup Championships within one year. The Lightning appeared in the championship again in 2022, but lost to the Colorado Avalanche in Game 6.

by ffew on 10/26/09St Pete Times Forum Tampa Bay Lightning - TampaI love ice-hockey anyway, but actually seeing an NHL game is the US was brilliant. The pace and skill of the players is quality. St Pete's is a welcoming enough venue. Prices are quite steep mind, so take enough money to break the bank. But it was totally worth it.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Lightning vs. Sabres
by Enforcer10 on 10/26/09St Pete Times Forum Tampa Bay Lightning - TampaThe game was awesome, the Lightning played a tough game and Smith stood on his head. The shootout was a plus, even though we lost. Club level is nicer than most peoples homes, with a bathroom outside almost every stairway and drinks right there. The Forum is definetly a great venue.

Let's go Lightning let's go!!

Rating: 3 out of 5 Game great;seats not
by Jose69 on 10/12/09St Pete Times Forum Tampa Bay Lightning - TampaI took a group of children to the game. Purchasing tickets on-line is easy and convenient and I have done it in the past. Not being familiar with the St Pete Times Forum, I was unaware that the best tickets available would be the third level, section T. Needless to say, we were disappointed to be placed at the highest possible point in the stadium and look at many other empty seats in the third level. The game was excellent and we will probably do some more.....Maybe

We were accomodated well with a request of 8 seats within two rows. Seats were great. Game was great- first win is always a plus. We love to frequent the games and would definetly do this again.

by crosschecker1 on 9/19/09St Pete Times Forum Tampa Bay Lightning - TampaThough a pre-season warm-up, the Lightning came out hot in the first and third periods, looking more like a step on the way to the Stanley cup. Two fights in the first 30 seconds of the game (and this was pre-season) showed this year's team has spunk. Forechecking, great defense on power plays, and an immaculate 2-on-goalie passing play to clinch the win--WOW!
