As a Tampa resident and Lightning fan. I'll start by saying two cups in a row. That alone. Amazing. I'll never be greedy. But going to that 3rd against the Avs. That team was something special. No shame in losing to them. Tampa was gassed. They played more hickey than anyone those 3 years. But, that game we lost in overtime. I think if we had won that one, momentum would have been different. Obviously, this is all "what ifs." And we'll never know. But that Tampa team had all the same pieces. Tampa was something just as special. And I do see Tampa getting that 3rd in a row if that OT game went differently.
Agreed that's why I ranked them number 1 in my Stanley Cup runner ups video. That team was so good but was so gassed from basically a full extra season of hockey in the past 3 seasons.
From a lightning fan that Avs team was an absolute buzz saw that SCF. I think if Point was healthy in the final we could have pushed it to 7 games. Also I think game 1 of that series was the most important, we lost in OT then got destroyed in game 2. If we won that first game and had gotten the split on the road I think again it goes 7. But that team was so impressive. Gotta give it to them.
The 2016 team ....😢😢😢 After that series against the Rangers everyone who knew anything about hockey knew they were getting the cup that year. I'm a Bruins fan and we werent in that year so I didn't mind the 🐧 winning. At least they have real fans.

I mean it probably also would’ve gone to seven had the refs not bullshited that too many men on the ice call, also all the weird called off goals.
Great video, I might swap the Aves with the Lightning just because of the difference in goaltending but I agree other than that
Pens in 16 much better than 17. 2017 team was all about the heart of a champion and grinded out wins against WSH/OTT. 2016 just skated you to death.

Totally not biased, but I agree 😝😝
They just missed the cut, but the 13 Blackhawks would have crushed any of these teams.
Relax
They barely beat the Bruins. I don't see the. Beating the 22 avalanche.
agreed
The thumbnail....cant stand seeing Gary Betman 🤮
