Happy Staniversary

Two years to the day, we were kings of the world.

Goodbye to Lord Stanley's Cup, which will be loved and nurtured by a new host in the coming days... Yet Tampa's title reign will always be something the fans will take with them.

I couldn't help but post one final shot from 2004. Much thanks to Sharon Loe for permission to use her photograph taken on that magical night.

That was a great night. :-) I jumped around the house and tried not to wake the kids. So fun!

One of these days I need to get my buddy Keith to re-count his trip down here to attend the game.

I was in the upper deck for this… Slick as hell (the floor — though the game was too).

Happy Staniversary to you, too, John F. That series got me addicted to the game, all b/c a Canadian guy (bless him) asked the bartender to “please turn on the hockey game.” I’d never heard of the Bolts or the Flames, didn’t know Florida even had an NHL team. Ended up watching the rest of the series at home, thus addicting my family. Found a nearby SPHL team during the lockout, and luckily found your site during my first full season of NHL fandom. Thanks!
