A case of bad blood

The history between the two teams started at Tampa Bay's very inception, when former Flyers Stanley Cup champion Terry Crisp was invited to be the head coach for the Lightning. Crisp guided the Lightning to the 1996 playoffs, where they would eventually fall to the Flyers. The series drew a record-breaking number of fans to the Thunderdome. Tampa Bay and Philadelphia met again in the playoffs of 2004, this time the Lightning edging out the Flyers in a tense seven game series. In 2011 the Flyers ignited a maelstrom of controversy with a backhanded approach to the Lightning's 1-3-1 strategy. Flyers coach Peter Laviolette, fed up with the Lightning's trap, ordered his players to stall the game by staying in their zone with the puck. Despite the mockery, Tampa Bay refused to advance, sparking a league-wide controversy about both teams' tactics. The Lightning emerged victorious on the scoreboard, but both teams gained a healthy amount of bitterness.
