Today let’s delve into one of the better NHL franchises of this decade, the Tampa Bay Lightning. Following a soft retool and a surprising regular season, Tampa had once again become the talk of the league, quickly rising as a favorite to win the Stanley Cup. Unfortunately, their hopes of returning to dominance was cut short by their biggest rivals, ending their season in disappointing fashion. But how did this rollercoaster season come to fruition? Well today let’s not only recap their flawed playoff run and regular season journey, but talk about their future and whether this should be a time for optimism or pessimism.

Losing to the SCF winners is nothing to be ashamed for. Nothing went wrong. Mark your calendar, the lightning will be in the playoffs and no one will want to be facing them. Only one team can win the cup, and the Atlantic division is the toughest in the NHL.
These videos are the best to eat food to! Keep it up!
Hey that’s me in the light blue at the 6:16 mark
Wait till mcdavid arri3ves
If Kuch was in Toronto, he would be getting the Mitch Marner treatment
We got Gourde and Bjorkstrand for next season. Another year of Guentzel. Just have to figure out how to get past the Panthers. We were not the only team Florida undressed in the playoffs. We will be right back in it next year. Can’t wait long after that though to pull the plug. We gotta know when it’s over so we don’t become the Penguins. Great video as always!!! Loving the content recently
What went wrong? They didn't manage to cheat with LTIR woops
Hmm. Crap take.
The NHL is a joke. Last 6 cups have went to, you guessed it, teams with no income tax. The cap only hurts teams with the tax. Just my opinion here but I'm sure Bettman wants that Florida money and is willing to look the other way when one of their many rats does something dirty to let them win.
Alexander volkov was in Tampa bay for 2 years. They won both times. I think we now know who the real leader of the dynasty was
I’m still a Lightning fan but not resigning Stammer killed a part of me I’m not sure I’ve gotten back yet
5:24 oh but we DO need to talk about that 👀
The problem is that they use the exact same jersey color white and blue as the Toronto Maple Leafs
bro didnt use Celsius
Awful take.
Success in the hard salary cap era is cyclical and great teams have a 3-5 year cup window to win a cup and then their players become too expensive or age out and they are then forced to start over or do a quick retool as the Blues have done. Either way the Bolts becoming less competitive is not really a surprise, but it is to be expected as it has happened to every franchise that’s won a cup since 2005 and the Panthers a few years from now will be no different like the teams that came before them.
Kuch always was overrated
The fact that Ekblad got suspended and the panthers got cap relief for it is bs
Big deadline for only one win. Rough
Yet another banger 🔥
In the cap space era 2 cups in a row is a full blown dynasty. 3 cups in a row today would be equal to Habs historic 5 cup streak.
A Covid cup and being 17 million over the cap doesn’t make u a juggernaut
Oilers Tampa finals would be crazy
*stanley cups. Don’t forget the Asterix. After all we all know deep down they weren’t real Stanley cups.
Only thing thats declining is your quality of content. Ohhhhhhhh!
They missed that third line from the first two cups, Gourde, Goodrow and Coleman. It would have been like the dynasty Islanders losing their all important third line of Bob Bourne and the Sutter bros.
