Tampa Bay Lightning make playoffs for 4th straight season

So, do the Bolts have a chance of repeating their Stanley Cup Playoffs win? Our totally biased opinion: YES.

If the Lightning can surge in the last 7 games of the regular season they could glide past the Florida Panthers and the Carolina Hurricanes and earn home ice advantage for at lease the first two rounds of the playoffs.

The team’s success is emblematic of the new Champa Bay moniker. The nickname has stuck. The Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, and the Tampa Bay Rays fell just a couple games shy of winning the World Series. Additionally, The Tampa Bay Rowdies made is to the USL championship, but the game was never played due to the pandemic.
