So I guess we weren't too bright in 1980.
Frankly, I don't see the real need for a "local" name. Lots of teams just have a heroic/tough/evocative name. Kings, Sabres, Red Wings, Flyers. There's no extra lightning in TB, the Bruins was just made up on the spot for no particular reason, the owner of the original Winnipeg Jets was a NY Jets fan.
