Tampa Bay Lightning
 PROFILE
Florida hockey fans haven't been getting much of a bang out of this lightning show. Since entering the NHL in 1992, the Tampa Bay Lightning has finished at or near last place in its division nearly every year. However, new owner William Davidson, who's Palace Sports & Entertainment bought the team for $115 million in 1999, seems committed to spending the money needed to get the team into the payoffs. The team is also banking on revenue from non-hockey events and a private club in the team's Ice Palace arena. The Lightning franchise was first awarded to Hall of Famer Phil Esposito, who was backed by Japanese golf and resort company Kokusai Green. Davidson also owns the Detroit Pistons basketball team.
