TAMPA, Fla. -- Theres nothing like winning to bring hope for a struggling team. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers opened the season with eight consecutive losses, but woke up Tuesday feeling better about themselves and the direction of whats been a disappointing season. The Bucs (1-8) became the last NFL team to win with a 22-19 victory over the embattled Miami Dolphins on Monday night, and coach Greg Schiano believes his players have the mettle to build on that success. "The thing you feel good about is our guys are learning through this adversity, not just trying to get through it," Schiano said Tuesday. Rookie Mike Glennon led a long fourth-quarter touchdown drive to put Tampa Bay ahead for good, and a defence that was unable to protect late leads in four of the clubs eight losses limited the Dolphins to 2 yards rushing. The Tampa Bay defence eliminated any chance for a Miami comeback with two timely sacks and an interception within a span of four plays to close out the win. After losing four times in the final 89 seconds or regulation or overtime, "We knew it was going to be on us. Everybody stepped up," said linebacker Lavonte David, who had seven tackles, one of them dropping Miamis Daniel Thomas for a second-quarter safety. Even Schiano said Monday night had a familiar feel after the Dolphins rallied from a 15-point deficit to take a 19-15 lead into the fourth quarter. The Bucs have lost four times in the final 89 seconds of regulation and overtime, including the previous week when they squandered a 21-point lead before falling in OT at Seattle. This time, Glennon regained the lead with an 80-yard drive that running back Bobby Rainey finished with a 1-yard run, and the defence put it away. "I dont care who you were in that stadium, there was part of you that said: Oh no, again? Schiano said. "And for our players to bow their necks, especially that (long TD) drive ... and then getting back and playing defence that last set to win the game was important," Schiano added, "because when we took the field, it was very clear: you stop them, you win." David was determined the defence would not crumble. "Right at the two-minute warning, I came in, brung the guys in and said: It aint going to happen again, man," David said. "Weve got to make all this stuff end right here, right now. Thats what happened." Schiano said now that the Bucs have won, players should be able to relax and perform without pressing for results. "Hopefully that kind of relieves some pressure off the guys and they can just go out and play," the second-year coach said. "Getting it out of the way, I dont care who you are, as the losses mount getting that (first) one win becomes harder and harder (to get)," Schiano added. "I hope now that our guys can just go out and play. Although theyve said theres no additional pressure, I think human nature puts that pressure on yourself." One of the keys to beating Miami, which was playing its first game since the start of a bullying scandal thats engulfed the Dolphins locker room, was a productive running game that took pressure off Glennon, who completed 11 of 21 passes for 139 yards, one touchdown and an interception. With 2012 Pro Bowl running back Doug Martin out for the season with a shoulder injury, Mike James made his third pro start. The rookie ran for 158 yards the previous week against the Seahawks and was off to another fast start with 41 yards on five carries when he broke his left ankle in the first quarter. Despite losing James, offensive co-ordinator Mike Sullivan remained committed to the run with Rainey and Brian Leonard combining for 102 yards on 28 carries. Tampa Bay finished with 140 yards on the ground after gaining a season-high 205 against the Seahawks. "Our offensive line, the credit goes to them -- persistent, believing what theyre doing, and the running backs running the plays the way theyre supposed to," Schiano said. "Were banged up, playing without a lot of the original starters, but again there are still a lot of good players out there playing," the coach added. "Were going to have a chance to win every football game. Weve just got to go out and execute." USA Soccer Jerseys 2020 .

What a great run they had in the 2004 Playoffs as the entire city of Calgary seemed to be behind them. The great play of Jarome Iginla, Craig Conroy and goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff carried the Flames throughout the playoffs. After knocking off the Canucks in the first round, the Flames pulled off a huge upset, beating the Presidents Trophy-winning Red Wings in the second round. The sky was the limit for the Flames after taking down the Wings, and they almost came through. After beating San Jose in the Conference Final, they would square off against the Tampa Bay Lightning for the Cup. The Flames jumped out to a 3-2 series lead, but would devastatingly lose the final two games of the series, making the Lightning the 2004 Stanley Cup champions. The Flames were ridiculously close to winning the cup considering the series went the distance, and both game 6 and game 7 losses were one-goal games. There was also a controversial call in Game 6 where Flames forward Martin Gelinas looked to score a late goal to break a 2-2 tie, but it did not count. Replays showed that the puck did cross the line:The Flames were awfully close, and if a couple calls went their way, they couldve been the latest Canadian team to win a cup.Vancouver CanucksIts hard to forget the spirited run the Vancouver Canucks put together during the 2011 playoffs. The Canucks were actually a cup favorite, as they would finish first in the league and win the Presidents Trophy. They carried over their great regular season play over to the playoffs, knocking off the Blackhawks, Predators, and the Sharks in the opening three rounds. Players like the Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, and Bieksa were the anchors of their success. Luongo definitely struggled at times during the playoffs but ended up having a solid performance overall, recording four shutouts. The Canucks would face off against the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup, but after jumping out to a 3-2 series lead, they would eventually lose the series in 7 games. With so much on the line, it was surprising to see thee Canucks lose 4-0 in the seventh game in a pretty slow paced game.dddddddddddd It was still a great run, and the furthest the Canucks would get in the Luongo era.

In 2006, the Oilers qualified for the playoffs as the eighth and final seed of the Western Conference. They were underdogs all the way through, but they just kept winning. First they took down the Presidents Trophy-winning Detroit Red Wings. They would then beat the Sharks in the second round and easily knock off the Ducks in the Conference Final in just five games. All of a sudden, the eighth seeded Oilers were in the Stanley Cup Final against the Carolina Hurricanes. Chris Pronger, Shawn Horcoff, Fernando Pasani, Ales Hemsky, and Ryan Smyth were some of the key pieces that carried the Oilers to the Cup Final. But nobody on the roster was more important than their goalie, Dwayne Roloson, who caught fire during the post-season. Roloson ended the playoffs with a .927 save percentage, but would unfortunately injure himself in the opening game of the Cup Final. Jussi Markkanen would start for the Oilers the rest of the way, and although he played fine, he did not bring the same quality of goaltending that Roloson brought. The Oilers would not be able to take down Cam Ward and the Hurricanes, as they would lose in seven games in a close series. It was fun to watch as they over-achieved with their underdog status and as many Oilers fans will tell you; you never know what could have happened if Roloson did not get hurt. You can see the Roloson injury here:So there you have it. Canadas Western Conference teams have gotten much closer to the Cup than the Eastern Conference teams since the Habs Cup win in 1993. The Winnipeg Jets just rejoined the league so they are yet to have a noteworthy run. Youve seen the East, and now youve seen the West. Who do you think was the closest Canadian team to winning a Stanley Cup since 1993? And which Canadian team do you think will break the slump and win it next? Tweet us @BarDown. ' ' '
