The off-season is one of the hardest times of the year for Tampa Bay Lightning fans. The team they love so dearly has gone their separate ways for some much-needed rest and relaxation, and the seats at the Amalie Arena, which were once filled with screaming fans, have now gone silent.
The only good news here is there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Eventually, the players will make their way back to the Sunshine State, and the process with restart itself once again as the players hit the ice in the spirit of competition.
