what year did the lightning win the stanley cup?
2004
the panthers' trip to the stanley cup final in 1996 began a trend in which southern-based teams frequently appeared in the championship round. the dallas stars won the 1999 stanley cup over the buffalo sabres in controversial fashion: brett hull scored the cup-winning goal in overtime of game six despite arguments that his foot was in the goal crease, which under the rules at the time would have disallowed the goal. the stars returned to the finals in 2000, falling to the new jersey devils. the hurricanes first played in the finals in 2002, losing to the red wings, while the mighty ducks reached the final in 2003, falling to the devils. in 2004, the tampa bay lightning defeated the calgary flames to win the cup. the lightning win in 2004 was seen as the end to the devils/avalanche/red wings stanley cup era, as all three teams won a combined 8 stanley cups between 1995 and 2003.
