On Thursday night, Ben Bishop made his return to Tampa Bay as a member of the Dallas Stars for the first time since being traded last season.

Bishop earned his only All-Star nod up to this point with the Lightning and helped lead them to the Stanley Cup Final during the 2014-15 season.

During the game, Bishop and the crowd shared a wonderful moment, and although it wasn't the return he wanted in regards to the outcome of the game, the return was still special for him.

After the game, Bishop spoke to the media and for a moment, he slipped up as he said "we" in reference to the Lightning.

Ben Bishop with a little "we" slip tonight on #tblightning. "They're healthy now and it's been a while since we've - they've - had the whole lineup like that. You can see the success they're going to have as long as they stay healthy. They're a scary team to play right now."

The Lightning and their fans will always have a special place in Bishop's heart and vice versa.
