Grandview is a relatively short stretch of road, but along it are some of the nicest homes in the state and outstanding views of the Illinois River. In 1910 Theodore Roosevelt proclaimed it âthe worldâs most beautiful drive,â so it has that going for it too.
As of April 9, 2017, 43 goaltenders and 346 skaters (forwards and defensemen) have appeared in at least one regular-season and/or playoff game with the Tampa Bay Lightning since the team joined the league in the 1992â93 NHL season.
Finishing the season with 101 points, the Lightning placed second in the Atlantic Division, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2011. Tampa Bay, however, was eliminated in the first round of the Atlantic divisional semi-finals, losing to the Montreal Canadiens in a four-game sweep.
