List of Tampa Bay Lightning players
Another list nomination to come out of WP:HOCKEY. This is another list of players from a specific team, this time the Tampa Bay Lightning. While I originally first edited the list to its current format, I have to give due credit to Skudrafan1 for going through it after I was finished and cleaning up my many errors that came with doing such a project so quickly. For reference, its similar to List of San Jose Sharks players, List of Atlanta Thrashers players, List of Calgary Flames players, etc. As always, comments are welcome.

 * The lead should mention how many players had worn the Lightning jersey as of the completion of the 2006-07 season. That way we need only to update once per year, which simplifies maintenance.
 * A suggestion on colour coding for players who won the Cup but are still on the roster - highlight green for current player all columns but notes, which you could highlight blue, to denote SC winner. Resolute 06:40, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If the shootout began in 2005, then how come during 1992-1996 seasons Jean-Claude Bergeron has one shootout win? -- Crzycheetah 07:46, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * "SO" in that context means "shutout. And disregard my original comment on this from last night (It'd doesn't pay to debate when tired, heh), it is the OTL column that I meant to say the NHL didn't track for goaltenders before 2005, not SO, which in this case  does mean "shutout".  A shootout loss would be "SOL", but is tracked as part of the overtime loss (OTL) column by the NHL.  I definitely agree that those should either be linked, or stated in the key.  I'll look to make that change. Resolute 16:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment As I see that the issue of using hockeydb.com hasn't been resolved, I'll provide a link that states the sites own references. As I know not everyone is familiar with hockey, I'll explain that most of the sources used are the best available. Nearly every hockey article makes use of these seperate sources in some way or another, and this site collects a vast amount of that information and stores it in one. The disclaimer that it may not be totally accurate is because maintaining the records of several thousand hockey players is a monumental task that will obviously lead to some error (just look at Wikipedia for an example).
