The Tampa Bay Lightning are an explosive and talented team, with some of the best players in the game. They had a very solid regular season last year, don't be fooled by their number 5 seed in the postseason. To prove that, they defeated the Penguins, then swept the Capitals and almost advanced past the Boston Bruins, who of course went on to win the Stanley Cup.

All of the experience from that deep playoff run should serve to bolster this club for the upcoming year again, and many more playoff pushes and appearances. Some of the team's best players remain from their Stanley Cup winning team from before the lockout, like Vincent LeCavalier and Martin St. Louis. But then there's Steve Stamkos, and it's amazing that he's only 21 years old. He can seemingly put up 50 goals on command, and he's only going to get better and better, which is a scary thought for all the other teams out there.

What the Lightning really need is consistent play in net, and that's their major question. But they know if they need to get into a high scoring affair, they have the fire power to tilt the scales in their favor.
