No one really expected the Tampa Bay Lightning to be within one game of the Stanley Cup Finals...except for the Lightning players. A big reason for that was Martin St. Louis, who is arguably the most important player on the Lightning. Stats point that out, his own and that of Steven Stamkos. Speaking of Stamkos, had he not suffered a midseason slump, he could have easily challenged the 60-goal mark. Still, 45 goals is not bad, and both St. Louis and Stamkos were finalists for the Hart and Ted Lindsay trophies, respectively. Until Dwayne Rolosson was acquired, goaltending was a sore spot, and Dan Ellis was seen as enough of a problem to be shipped off to Anaheim at the trade deadline.
