The New Look Lightning

Last year, new Tampa Bay Lightning GM, Steve Yserman reintroduced a winning mentality to the hockey fans of Tampa Bay. The Lightning won 46 games and racked in 103 points, 8th best in the league. This year the Bolts got a new logo, new uniforms, and a new motto, (Be The Thunder), to go along with a renovated the St. Pete Times Forum.

The renovations were announced to cost $35 billion dollars from private funds. The renovation was aimed to improve the experience for players, employees, and fans. The biggest addition was a 11,000 square foot outdoor deck overlooking downtown Tampa. Another huge addition was a hockey organ, which most teams, famously the Boston Bruins already have. Perhaps the coolest addition is the 25 foot lightning bolts that shoot from two Tesla coils. The Lightning this season, are 3rd in there Southeast division and 7th. Its amazing how much you can accomplish with just a little thunder.
