Thread: 2022 Lightning Playoff Discussion
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good of a run this team has had?
I'm never gonna count this team out. Three in a row? Maybe. But if it does end like this, have a look at how good the hockey we've watched for the last 4 years has been.

Best team ever. Sweep. Reload.
The bubble cup, Gourdrowman, Stamkos' legendary goal. Vasy's brilliance. Point Kuch, Heddy with Conn Smythe.
One cup for the team.

How they gonna top a performance like that? Maybe by missing the best winger in the world and still making the playoffs. And Kuch was sharper than ever despite not playing for an eternity. More Vasy brilliance. Another WAR with the Islanders.and then a second come infront of a packed barn!

One cup for the fans.

Then we enter a full season and we see the best season we've ever seen from future hall of famer Steven Stamkos. He was going to force himself into that Olympic squad. And when the Olympic dream was taken away from him, he played even harder!
Nick Paul comes in from nowhere. Ross Colton shows glimpses of a level we never thought he was capable of. Brian Elliot! Remember when we thought he might start in the playoffs? Injury, Leafs battle, this was their year. Their story. But nobody told Nick Paul. The Leafs were gonna be the team to take Tampa's mantle. Nope.
Then the panther we're finally going to assert their dominance. Nope.
Igor was going to stripe the crown from Vasy. I don't think so.

Then, we almost won game 1 after a poor start. Lost game 2 by a landslide but answered right back with Avengence. And despite being broken, bloody, and just straight wrecked we've pushed a team that it's working on its own story for every inch in game for only to come up short by a legendary back from injury story.
Sure they're against it. Sure they hurt. But it's been a good freaking run. Maybe....

One cup for the legacy?
