Lightning

The name given to the United States' P-38 fighter aircraft, which saw service in all theaters of WWII. The aircraft was a twin-boom, twin-engine design that gave superior climb rate and speed. Standard armament was four .50 caliber machine guns, and one 20mm cannon, all mounted in the nose ahead of the cockpit. Additionally, bombs, rockets, and fuel tanks could be carried on pylons under the wings.

The 2004 Stanley Cup Champions. Also a team that has no true fans, since nobody gave two shits about them until they were in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Tampa Bay Lightning deserved to win the Stanley Cup, but their "fans" certainly did not.
