Let’s face it - 2016 was a bit of a roller coaster for Lightning fans. A franchise record winning streak secured the playoffs, Stralman broke his leg, Stamkos got a blood clot, Drouin returned, the Bolts fell in seven games to the Pittsburgh Penguins, everyone signed amazing deals over the summer (THANK YOU STEVEN STAMKOS AND VICTOR HEDMAN!), the captain had an explosive start to the season, and everyone got injured.
Now It’s 2017! This year doesn’t have new injuries or losing streaks or inconsistent play. This year is full of promise and the opportunity to turn things around and rescue the season.
