This victory in front of the home fans was a nice way for the Lightning to wrap up their season. Here are some observations from the 4-2 triumph.

The Lightning made a furious push in the regular season's final two months. They went 20-6-4 in their last 30 games. But they ended up missing the playoffs by, as it turned out, one point.
I'll have a season retrospective coming in the next week or so. For now, thanks to the fans for their incredible support of the team - through thick and thin this season.
