          Lightning strike first to win first Cup
          (Agencies)
          Updated: 2004-06-08 11:50

          No, Canada. The Stanley Cup not only isn't headed north, the Tampa Bay Lightning are taking it south.

          Ruslan Fedotenko scored twice, including the critical first goal just as he did in the conference finals, and the resilient Lightning held off the Calgary Flames 2-1 in Game 7 Monday night to win their first Stanley Cup.

          The Flames, threatening to become one of the most unlikely champions in NHL history, were held to only seven shots in a dismal first two periods before making a frantic late surge started by Craig Conroy's power-play goal midway through the third.

          Lightning coach John Tortorella insisted throughout the finals that his team would win only if his best players outplayed Calgary's and they did exactly that. Fedotenko scored on goals created by Conn Smythe winner Brad Richards and Vincent Lecavalier and goalie Nikolai Khabibulin held off Calgary's late flurry while Flames star Jarome Iginla was again held scoreless.

          Tampa Bay joined the 2001 Avalanche as the only teams to overcome a 3-2 deficit in the finals in 30 years, with the Lightning finally ending their record 13-game streak of alternating winning and losing by winning Game 6 on the road in overtime and Game 7 at home.

          Maybe it's only coincidence, but in each series a 22-season veteran who had never won the Cup finally did so. Colorado's Ray Bourque did it in 2001, and 40-year-old Dave Andreychuk finally lifting the Cup after playing a record 1,758 games without winning it.

          Bourque called the Lightning's Tim Taylor on Saturday to offer advice on how to deal with coming back from the deficit, and to wish Andreychuk good luck.

          Now the question is how long the Lightning will rule. The NHL's labor agreement runs out September 15, and all signs point to a lengthy lockout that will significantly delay or shut down the 2004-05 season.

          The Flames, going for a 11th road victory in 14 playoff games, were convinced that failing to close out the finals Saturday in hockey-obsessed Calgary wouldn't cost them the Cup, since the home team had won only twice in the series. But home ice did matter -- just as it almost always does in Game 7.

          Home teams are 11-2 in finals Game 7s and 10-1 since 1950, with only the 1971 Maple Leafs winning on the road in the last 54 years.

          Once again, there's no place like home ice in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals.

          It didn't help Calgary that Iginla, the impact player of the first five games, all but disappeared in the final two, going more than four periods without a shot. Iginla scored a playoff-leading 13 goals, but had only one in the final four games.

          The team scoring first had won every game in the series, so Tampa Bay got a huge confidence booster when Fedotenko scored on a power play 13:31 into the first -- much like he scored the go-ahead goal in a 2-1 victory over Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference finals.

          Richards took a shot from the point that was kicked away by Miikka Kiprusoff to Fedotenko in the slot, and he lined a shot past the goalie.

          That goal was one of several uncharacteristic Calgary defensive breakdowns as the Lightning forced the play from the start, limiting the Flames to only three shots in the first period and four in the second.

          Robyn Regehr, Calgary's most dependable defenseman, played despite apparently injuring an ankle or foot in Tampa Bay's 3-2 overtime victory in Game 6 and was on the ice for Fedotenko's goal.

          Fedotenko's second of the game and third of the finals was created by a dazzling bit of stickhandling by Lecavalier, who hadn't figured in any scoring since Game 2. Lecavalier took Cory Stillman's pass in the left corner, spun around to shed defender Steve Montador and another defender and put a perfect pass on Fedotenko's stick in the slot with about 5? minutes left in the second period.
