The 2013-14 version of the Tampa Bay Lightning produced one of the finest regular seasons in the team’s history.
The Lightning tied a franchise record with 46 wins, the same amount the 2003-04 Stanley Cup team achieved.
They eclipsed the 100-point plateau for just the third time ever.
The Bolts qualified for the playoffs after being left out the previous two seasons.
But during the summer that followed, none of the players or coaches wanted to remember the accomplishments of 2013-14. Instead, the lasting image from the season was of skating off the ice and walking into the tunnel at Montreal’s Bell Centre for the final time, having gone through the customary post-series handshake with the Canadiens following another defeat in Game 4.
