LIGHTNING COME UP SHORT AT ARTIC ICE
2/6/2004
The Lightning season ended without much fanfare this weekend. Making the playoffs in their first season was a great accomplishment and having a respectable playoff run bodes well for the future. The Lightning played a great game Friday night as they took on arch rivals the Affton Americans. After going down 2 -0 the Lightning fought back and took the lead before allowing the tieing and go ahead goals in the 3rd. 4-3
Skokie posed an excellent opponent as they beat the Lightning 4-2 after the Lightning took an early 2-0 lead. A game in which the Lightning should have held on to win the team saw their Championship game hopes end.
With Peoria on Sunday and a game which was meaningless the Lightning played a pretty good game but met up with a hot goalie and let this one get away 1-0.
So now its into the off season, what a great year for this inaugural team!!!
