Vintage Lightning Videos

[Disengage]

So I'm somewhat of a Lightning fan (Sabres fan but had tickets with a Lightning fan so I've seen like Lightning play in person probably 20 times) and I've noticed there's almost no footage on YouTube of the Lightning's early years. I have a pretty large collection of footage that I've been chopping up and this thread is going to be a big collection of footage from 1992-93 to 2003-04.

First up is from 1992-93, games against Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and the Islanders.

October 7th, 1992 Chicago at Tampa Bay
Probably nothing new to anyone here, Kontos with 4 goals in a 7-3 win.





October 16th, 1992 Tampa Bay at Buffalo




November 1st, 1992 Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay



November 7th, 1992 Tampa Bay at NY Islanders
Doug Crossman with a hat trick and 3 assists and the OT winner in a 6-5 win. Greatest performance in Lightning history.




December 5th, 1992 Detroit at Tampa Bay
Brian Bradley with the hat trick in a 9-7 loss.





January 13th, 1993 Tampa Bay at Detroit




March 20th, 1993 Buffalo at Tampa Bay
Yep, that's Islanders coach Jack Capuano's brother.

December 28th, 1993 Tampa Bay at Quebec

Any idea where there's any real game footage of the playoff series against the Flyers in '95/'96? Sure the 30 second highlights of Selivanov's game 3 winner are cute but I'm talking about whole games? Anyone know where I can find it? Hell, something like a legitimate on demand or PPV option will do. Don't care if I pay $5 to watch a game played damn near 20 years ago, I'd love to see the old Bolts in action.

April 16th, 1996 Tampa Bay at Philadelphia Game 1



April 18th, 1996 Tampa Bay at Philadelphia Game 2



April 21st, 1996 Philadelphia at Tampa Bay Game 3

April 25th, 1996 Tampa Bay at Philadelphia Game 5




April 27th, 1996 Philadelphia at Tampa Bay Game 6



That last fight between Ulanov and Lindros shows how terrible of a linesman Kevin Collins was. Jumping into the fight, grabbing a player from behind and tying up his arms. I saw him in the concourse during the Calder Cup finals in Syracuse and thought about telling him just how ****** he was.

Thanks for posting those, that game vs Buffalo on March 20th, 1993 was the first NHL game I ever attended. Pretty cool to see video of that exists.

Kick Ice!
