When April rolled around, the excitement here in the Bolts Nation ascended to a whole new level. After missing the playoffs last season, the Tampa Bay Lightning was headed back to the big game and was preparing to begin their journey towards raising the Stanley Cup high above their heads for the first time since the 2004 Championship season.
Unfortunately, along with the excitement comes a certain degree of frustration for Lightning fans. Along with the typical “non-hockey town” argument Bolts fans have become accustomed to hearing every single season, fans here in the Bolts Nation are barraged with complaints from opposing team fans about this mythical “dress code” the Bolts oppose on them.
