first
One of the greatest teams of all time but the 2021 team was even better imo
Sick Hat Shannon!
Kadri to Ana?
2020. Dark times.
2020 Tampa Bay lightning is a hockey team I’ll never forget after being swept in 2019 by Columbus I did not expect for them to win the Stanley Cup the very next year but I’m glad I and in the continue of the pat maroon dynasty
Tortorella said it best. Columbus created a monster
Such redemption winning it after the epic 2019 sweep. Tampa won the Superbowl and the Stanley Cup that year. The Tampa Bay Rays had a chance to win the world series but lost in 6 or 7. ChampaBay been rollin lately. Go Bolts!
That 5 OT game one of the most important games in Lightning history.
2022-23 will be the first truly normal season since 2018-19, with everything being on time again. Cup, draft, free agency etc. Crazy.
I wasn’t the biggest Tampa fan but I was cheering for them to win it all towards then end even tho they knocked off teams I liked. That Stamkos goal was amazing and I was happy to see Hedman and some of those guys to win a cup. I have so much respect for this core and team and I don’t think I can hate them.
One of the best teams ever and definitely one of the deepest team ever.
Tampa Bay will follow Buffalo Sabres in 2006-07 – after 2 great runs in the playoffs – they will miss the playoffs completely! FACT!
Still blows my mind that the bubble was in Canada.
Tampa bay likely would do it again
The run Tampa had starting in 2020 to 2022 was one of the most impressive runs in sports considering the cap and losing a decent amount of guys along the way. Maybe if Point played Tampa 3 peat? Seeing how big he was in 2020 bubbles
Five-star hotels and restaurants, movie theaters, golf courses, soccer fields, pools, ping pong, and on and on–all to themselves. In the digital age, I think everyone survived a couple months of video calls instead of hugs and kisses while being catered to like kings.
I miss that 3rd line of Coleman-Gourde-Goodrow probably the most underrated line and biggest part of that run.
Tough because they built part of their legacy off the Islanders scalps, but they were (and still are) a fantastic team. Sometimes you just have to bow to greatness
Of all the great Lightning teams and runs, this one is my all time favorite
Lightning not having Point was huge for the Avs. Lucky lucky.
Interesting
Hedman was the best D-man 2020 playoffs? Heiskanen be like 'Am i joke to you'
I know there will always be people who will say this cup will have an asterisk on it and I agree. That asterisk is that Tampa won it under perhaps the most difficult circumstances in NHL playoff history. Still have mad respect for this run by them, and it would honestly be really hard to convince me that any other team had a more difficult playoff situation than them in recent history.
i was so happy watching coleman win the cup. he's an absolute beast. all gas no brakes. loved him in NJ
The covid cup
yeap the Islanders were good during this time. Had Trotz. Were competing. Looking up. Now the isles are doing bad. No Trotz. Not competitive. Looking down.
out of every championship won during bubble season
this was the most convincing
Awww… thanks for making me feel better for these next 2. Props to the AVs. Hopefully we see you next year!
Was that not same yr that rask decided to leave bruins hangin and go home🤷♂️
Avalanche Die hard and Denver native. Lightning are a bunch of whiney losers!!!!!
Go avs go!!!! Cup Champs 202222222
This is just like the Lakers championship in 2020 both teams had more than. 3 months to heal both won in a Mickey mouse bubble. Nobody will remember this in 2 years while EVERYBODY still remembers 2018 and 2019 failures
Tough life, making millions to play hockey and live in a hotel for a month or two; buncha primmadonnas
The cup win in 20’ will be probably one of my greatest life memories. I was living in a low population town in NC at the time. Doing real estate and working at a restaurant as a bartender. Was closing the restaurant and had game 6 on the tv. Nobody who worked there besides me gave a crap about hockey. But they did that night. When the bolts won the cup that night it was one of my happiest nights. The culmination of what happened in 19’. The 5 OT game in round one. Stammer coming in for 3 shifts in the cup final and scoring. And myself living in this desolate mountain town, every piece landed exactly the way it should. That is definitely a night I would love to relive. The last three years were special for us bolts fans. Whatever happens from here I will always remember nights like that.
This cup win is my second favorite sports fan moment of all time. It meant so much at such trying time. I still think the bubble was the best solution. And that game 5 had me worried. I knew the opening minutes of the next game would tell who would win the cup. Either Dallas had seized momentum or emptied their tank.

That Stamkos goal was probably my fav moment all time in hockey. It was incredible. He literally had 1 shift? And he did that and it lifted the whole team when they needed it. I remember jumping off my sofa and yelling to celebrate! Love him
When the Lightning lost to Columbus in 2019 the shock was almost like a death in the family. In 2020 they joy of winning the Cup was wonderful but our conversations were about wouldn't it be great to be there when they won. In 2021, I got to check it off my bucket list as my sons and my partner and I got to be at Amalie Arena when they clinched the Stanley Cup. What a thrill. To anyone who says these victories come with an asterisk, I say, what do they put on your lame team who couldn't beat them.
What an absolute unit of a team
Great video man! 👍Would love to see you do 2021 revisited video next 😍 Heck, call it a 3 part series and on the maybe/almost dynasty down in TB lol
2:55 Still one of my favorite videos of yours, Shannon 👍🏻👍🏻
Myself they cheated against the habs but it is what it is.
