Led by NHL legend Phil Esposito operation Tampa Bay intensive lobbying around the room for an expansion team and eventually won the contract. Phil Esposito was named the president of the franchise and Terry Crisp, who had won a few years before the Stanley Cup with the Calgary Flames, was hired as coach. On 7 October 1992, the Bolts denied their first NHL game and won against the Chicago Blackhawks 7-3. Chris account scored four goals in this game. This is a record for goals scored per game, the up to now could not interrupt a Tampa player. However, the team finished the season with 23 wins in 54 defeats last to his division from.

For next season, the Lightning came out of the small Expo Hall in the larger Thunderdome to St. Petersburg to which had previously also been working as a competitor to Tampa to the franchise. In the first game in the new stadium against the Florida Panthers a record crowd of 27 227 spectators was achieved. Tampa Bay was a 30-43-11 balance again last in the Atlantic Division. In the season 1994/95 were due to a lockout only 48 games played in the NHL and Tampa finished the season as the sixth from the Atlantic Division.

First upswing, sporting and financial problems

The team, led by Brian Bradley, Alexander Selivanov and Roman Hamrlík, the Tampa in 1992 undertook a first pick in the draft, moved into the 1995/96 season for the first time in the club's history in the playoffs one. The first-round series against the Philadelphia Flyers lost, but the Bolts presented with 28 183 spectators at the Thunder Dome a new NHL indoor attendance record on. This record was broken during the NHL Heritage Classic in Edmonton in 2003.

In the next few years, the team emerged due to its owner, the Kokusai Green, a consortium of Japanese managers repeatedly in the media. For thinking was that the head of the consortium, Takashi Okubo, did not show up until 1998, in Tampa and have no interest in hockey seemed to have. There were also rumors that the team for money laundering by the Japanese Yakuza was used.

In the 1996/97 season the team moved into a real Hockey Stadium: The Ice Palace in Tampa was opened. However, many stars left the team as a free agent goalie Daren Puppa was injured severely in the groin and the management he did not make a suitable replacement for this team to find props. From 1997/98 to 1999/ 00 was followed by three seasons, each with over 50 lost games per season. This Tampa was the first team in the NHL history, who lost more than 50 games in three consecutive years. In the NHL Entry Draft 1998 Bolts chose the talent Vincent Lecavalier and Brad Richards in the first place to 65th place of the third draft round. Likewise, the team was sold in 1998 by its owners to Art Williams, because the franchise had accumulated more than 100 million dollars loss in six years. Williams was briefly owner of the franchise, which he sold to the Detroit Pistons owner Bill Davidson 1999.

In the 2000 /01 season, the Lightning lost to continue most of their games. Fredrik Modin Only, Richards and Lecavalier scored more than 20 goals. Tampa finished the season as Division again from last. On 5 March 2001 goalie Nikolai Chabibulin was committed by the Phoenix Coyotes. With him, defender Stanislav Neckář came in exchange for forward Mike Johnson and defender Paul Mara. Although denied Chabibulin only two games, the team had with this change after a long time a solid goalkeeper. At the end of the season was coach Steve Ludzik, the Detroit Vipers looked after before, replaced by John Tortorella.

Way to the Stanley Cup

2002 Tampa missed the playoffs for the ninth time in a row, although in his division, finished third. This third course was possible because in Tampa Khabibulin had a sure support in the goal and the team under new coach made ​​significant progress.

The 2002/03 season started with Tampa seven games without defeat in the season. Led by Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis, who made ​​his breakthrough this season, Tampa won the Southeast Division, one point ahead of the Washington Capitals. The Bolts succeeded this season for the first time the regular season with 90 points to complete. In round one of the playoffs, there was a meeting with the Capitals. Tampa won this hard-fought playoff series finally in 6 games for the first time and reached the second round. There she retired after five games against the New Jersey Devils, won at the end of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

In the following season Martin St. Louis was appointed with 91 scorer points to the best scorer of the NHL and the MVP, head coach John Tortorella was named coach of the year, and Tampa Bay was charged with 106 points to the best team in the Eastern Conference and the second-best of League. In round one of the playoffs, the Bolts defeated the New York Islanders 4-1, in round two, the Montreal Canadiens with a 4-0 sweep. In the Conference Finals, they faced the Philadelphia Flyers. It developed a close playoff series, which was only decided in the seventh game. Tampa won thanks Chabibulin who could hold 31 shots against the groups 2-1 and reached the Stanley Cup final. The enemy were there the Calgary Flames. After five games, the series was 3-2 for Calgary. Martin St. Louis scored in the second overtime of the sixth game of the winning goal, forcing a decisive seventh game in Tampa Bay. Before a home crowd Calgary was 2-1, thanks to two goals from Ruslan Fedotenko, and defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning won their first Stanley Cup. Brad Richards was named Conn Smythe Trophy for the MVP of the playoffs and set a new record when he scored nine goals in extensions.

In the 2004/05 season the Bolts could not defend her title as the full season failed due to a player strikes and lockouts.

Sporty descent to the Lockout

In the 2005/06 season, the reigning Stanley Cup champion reached 92 points just the playoffs, where he lost later against the Ottawa Senators in five games. Martin St. Louis with 65 points scorer and was unable to repeat his strong performance from the previous season. Vincent Lecavalier played an average season with 75 points scorer. Alone Brad Richards reached normal form and impressed with 90 points scorer and was nominated for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, which he did not won. During the summer break were Johan Holmqvist and Marc Denis with committed two new goalkeepers who were urgently needed, as the goalkeeper of the team of 2005/06 season, John Grahame and veteran Sean Burke, could never really convince. One reason for this was the lack of confidence Tortorellas in his two goalies, who he criticized frequently in public hard. Veteran goalkeeper Sean Burke said this on after playoff loss against the Senators.

The 2006/ 07 was marked by personal success by Vincent Lecavalier: He broke the record of Martin St. Louis with 108 points and was also the top scorer with 52 goals the regular season. His team finished the season in second place in the Southeast Division behind the Atlanta Thrashers. In the first playoff round, the team met the New Jersey Devils. After a 3-2 home defeat she was disqualified in the sixth game of the Conference Quarterfinals.

At the end of the main round of the 2007/08 season the Lightning missed the first time since the 2001/ 02 season, the playoffs. Despite the good performance of the franchise Stars Cavalier, St. Louis and Richards the Bolts reached only 71 points and thus were the worst team in the league. This gave them the best chance to win the draft lottery for the NHL Entry Draft in 2008. It then became the media campaign lakes Stamkos? started in Tampa, as Steve Stamkos was regarded as the biggest talent in the Draft. At the end of the season Tortorella was fired and replaced by Barry Melrose due to the weak sporting cutting.

The 2008/09 season opened the Bolts in the Czech Republic against the New York Islanders. The athletic season was unsatisfactory. The team was second last with 66 points in the Eastern Division - only the New York Islanders accumulated fewer points in the regular season. The only positive was that the Lightning due to the poor placement of the second draft pick in the NHL Entry Draft in 2009 was awarded with the Swedish defender Victor Hedman was selected. Head Coach Berry Melrose was fired during the season.

2009/10 started the team under Rick Tocchet neat and until the beginning of March, the team also stayed in the playoff spots. But after a weak March eleven defeats these places moved into the distance, at the end of the season, the team took place twelve of the Conference. A day after the end of the regular season released the new owner of the franchise, Jeffrey Vinik, both coach Tocchet, and the general manager Brian Lawton. Hockey legend Steve Yzerman was named the new General Manager.

Steve Stamkos, the first pick in 2008, was honored in his second season with the Maurice Richard Trophy as top scorer in the regular season. He shared the prize with Sidney Crosby, both scored 51 goals.

In the summer before the 2010/11 season Yzerman Guy Boucher committed by the Hamilton Bulldogs as their new coach. After three unsuccessful years without playoffs, the team was restructured by the new owner. The team left among other goalkeeper Antero Niittymaki, Alex Tanguay and Kurtis Foster. In exchange for Matt Walker came winger Simon Gagne from the Philadelphia Flyers. Pavel Kubina addition, Dominic Moore and Dan Ellis have been committed and with winger Martin St. Louis of the contract for four more years extended. In the pre-season, the Bolts were in good shape and have won four of six games. In the regular season, the team successfully launched and won four of the first five games. After the start of the season, the Washington Capitals clearly dominated the Southeast Division, the Lightning fought, led by Steven Stamkos and Martin St. Louis, who permanently resided since the beginning of the season among the top five of the best scorers in the league, to December to the capital approach. At the all-star game break the Bolts ranked at number one of their own division with four points ahead of Washington. In the Eastern Conference, the team took second place behind the Philadelphia Flyers. The Lightning had at this time a break-even goal difference, despite the clear victory to defeat ratio ( 31 wins, 20 defeats), which can also be explained with the fact that both Mike Smith, Dan Ellis as well, did not convince the target. Then undertook Yzerman on 1 January 2011 the now 41 years old Dwayne Roloson from the New York Islanders. In exchange, the Islanders defender Ty Wishart from the AHL farm team Norfolk Admirals received.

After the All-Star Game, in which Tampa Bay Martin St. Louis and Steven Stamkos took part for the team Lidstrom, placed the management of the franchise owner Jeff Vinik and to general manager Steve Yzerman, along with current and former stars of Bolts, as Lecavalier, Stamkos and Andreychuk, that new logo and associated jerseys for the 2011/12 season before. Logo and jerseys are now analyzing mainly of blue and white together, black disappears on both the home kit as well as in the logo. Carry out the changes during the season and not as usual during the summer break, the leaders justified with the fact that at this time ( during the season ) the attention of fans is fixed on the team. Due to the regulations of the NHL the new jerseys the team for the season 2011/12 are introduced.

After a poor March ( five wins, eleven losses) the Lightning Washington were overtaken again in their own division, but the team were due to the large number of previously collected points with significant distance before the third-place Carolina Hurricanes in the second place in the Southeast Division even the playoffs never came really in danger, as the Bolts were never worse placed than sixth place in the Eastern Conference. After the Lightning had early secured a ticket to the playoffs, the team of head coach Boucher finished the main round with three wins and qualified for the first time since the 2006 /07 again for the finals in the NHL. The completed with 103 points main round was the second-best season in franchise history. Even individual players on the team were able to get peak performance. So Steven Stamkos finished the main round as the second- leading scorer behind Anaheim's Corey Perry with 45 gates. With additional 46 templates managed Stamkos, despite slowing performance in the last third of the season, to keep in the top five of the top scorer of the main round, three places behind his strike partner Martin St. Louis, who with 99 points ( 31 goals, 68 assists) short of the 100 -point mark failed.
