The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally here!! The Tampa Bay Lightning officially kick off the 2018-19 NHL season tonight at the Amalie Arena in the heart of beautiful Downtown Tampa as they take on their in-state rivals, the Florida Panthers.
Anyone who has been watching the Tampa Bay Lightning for any amount of time knows the depths of the rivalry between these two teams. It’s one thing to face a Divisional opponent; it’s a whole other animal when you’re facing off against someone you share real estate with.
This is going to be an interesting season for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
