i love the tampa bay lightning the 03-04 cup was the best time of my life. its been rough to see them go downhill since then though - i think theres several reasons though.
1. they just won the cup a few years ago, its hard to get incentive to win it again. at least they were making the playoffs up until this year. last place lol.
2. defense - terrrrrrrrible. boyle didnt even play that well this year. and i do like some of the newer guys but nothing compares to pavel kubina and darryl sydor who we had in 03-04.
4. too much relying on vinny and marty. the younger guys neeeeeeed to step up and do more.
5. brad richards EH. we should have gotten a good defenseman out of that instead of jussi and other guys.
6. GOALTENDING - terrible just terrible
at least we get stamkos this year. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT THE LIGHTNING, WHATS BEEN WRONG, WHAT NEEDS WORK, ETC!!!
