What do you guys think of the Lightning this year?
It really is a whole new ball game here in Tampa. New owner (a guy with his own money), a new GM (a true hockey guy, Stevey Y), a new coach Guy Boucher (the most coveted young coach around) and some new players (notably goalie Dan Ellis).
Given our existing players (Lecavalier, Former MVP St. Louis, Ryan Malone), some new additions (Simon Gagne, Pavel Kubina) and goalie Mike Smith do you guys see us contending?
I am hopeful. Boucher has a new system that he is keeping secret but the thought is it is in the mode of Tortarella's 'safe is death' system. Attack, attack, attack. Is is very fan friendly and sure makes it easy to cheer for your team.
I've got my season tix and I am ready for a good season. Here's hoping it is a good one.
