The
Tampa Bay Lightning are a team on a mission. A long mission, of
course. For ten years, they've been in the bottom of the league (with the
exception of the 95-96 season). However, with Vincent Lecavalier leading
the way, and outstanding Nikolai Khabibulin, the Bolts can improve a great deal
this year. The 95-96 season was Tampa's only winning season in its
history, as they made the postseason for the only time. The addition of
Matthew Barnaby gives Tampa an agitator who can also score. Sure, they may
not make the playoffs this year, but this is a team building for the
future. Look for Fredrik Modin, Pavel Kubina, and Ben Clymer to have great
seasons.
