The Tampa Bay Lightning first began playing hockey in 1992 as part of that year's NHL expansion. He team began with some success for an expansion franchise, but it would be short-lived, and by the end of the 1990's the team was at the bottom of the league. A rebuild and the acquisition of young talent worked beyond Lightning fans' wildest dreams. The team made the conference semis in 2003 and then roared to the Stanley Cup and won in 2004. After the lockout of 2004/2005, the Tampa Bay Lightning would struggle to make the playoffs, but with some off-season tweaks, hopes are high again for success.
