National Hockey League team season
The 2003β04 Tampa Bay Lightning season was the
12th
National Hockey League season in
Tampa, Florida . The Lightning won their first
Stanley Cup over the
Calgary Flames this season, after the Flames were attempting to be the first Canadian team to win a Stanley Cup since the
1993 Montreal Canadiens .
The Lightning's 1st Stanley Cup championship came just a year after their
NFL (National Football League) counterparts, the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers , won
Super Bowl XXXVII , also their 1st championship.
Offseason
The Lightning did not have a first-round pick. For their first pick, they chose
Mike Egener in the second round, 35th overall.
Regular season
On Saturday, December 27, 2003, the Lightning scored three short-handed goals in a 4β2 win over the Boston Bruins.
[1]
The Lightning finished the regular season having tied the
Detroit Red Wings for the most short-handed goals scored, with 15.
