Tampa Bay became the 11th team in 13 tries to capitalize on the home-ice edge in the deciding game of the Stanley Cup Finals by beating Calgary, 2-1.

It's been a season of firsts -- the Lightning is the first championship team from the 1990s expansion class and the title is the first won by a Florida-based team.

Here's a look at some of the other firsts and a variety of the most interesting statistical achievements of the just-concluded season.

14 -- Goals scored by Calgary in the Stanley Cup Finals, one more than the Lightning. It's the first time in a best-of-seven final that the losing team has outscored the winner.

41 -- Goals scored by the three co-winners of the Rocket Richard Trophy, Ilya Kovalchuk, Rick, Nash, and Jarome Iginla. It's the lowest full-season total to lead the NHL since 1962-63, when Detroit's Gordie Howe was tops with 38 in a 70-game season.

13 -- Goals scored by Iginla in the playoffs; he led all postseason goal scorers and became the first player since Pavel Bure in 1994 to finish first in goals in the regular season and the playoffs.

2 -- Number of teams Miikka Kiprusoff played for this season; he was the first No. 1 goaltender since Patrick Roy in 1996 to make the Stanley Cup Finals after starting the season with another club.
