"The Tampa Bay Lightning"

The Tampa Bay Lightning are a very talented hockey team. They won the Stanley Cup in 2004. Very few of the players that formed that winning team still remain, but all of the players are very hungry for another Stanley Cup to be brought back to Tampa. The Lightning's first opponent were the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins started strong taking a three to one lead in the series. But the Lightning never gave up, they fought hard. After forcing a game seven, the Lightning won and moved on to the second round of the playoffs. The second round was against the Washington Capitals who have one of the most talented players in the NHL, that player is Alexander Ovechkin. He is known to some for his nine goals in a single game which he called and Ovechtrick. He has proven to be a challenge. In game three, he sent the game into overtime by scoring a goal in the last minute of the 3rd period. The Lightning won the first two games at the Capitals, then came home and won the next two at the St. Pete Times Forum. This is a shock to everybody because sports specialists believed that the Lightning would not have a chance against Washington. They have surprised everyone with their supreme victory over the Capitals. The Lightning will now face the winner of the Boston Bruins vs. Philadelphia Flyers series in which Boston leads two games to none.
