I'm not sure what everyone else was thinking, but I was expecting the winner of Toronto vs Tampa to make it to the ECF at least; they're both really strong teams, and you could tell just by the hockey they were playing that they wouldn't bow out easily. Florida just isn't really a playoff team, and even though they beat Washington, you could tell they weren't that President's Trophy team they had been. Plus Tampa had to play much tougher hockey compared to Florida; Tampa was ready while Florida never got the chance to really kick it into gear. By this point I think if Carolina doesn't beat them, they're going to be an official dynasty.

@@DK-bs9yk lmao that’s 2 years going to the Stanley and winning then winning round 1 the year after. So total 3 years? Lightning are dominant but not sure they’re winning 6 cups in a row total

What an achievement I love this team amazing

[@ShawnBlaque]

0.75 Goals per game, impressive Panthers. Really close series boys.. Keep on chugging along Tampa

[@Mightyduckster714]

The Bolts are on fire and I hope they win another cup Go Bolts

Florida would have never beat Washington if Wilson didn’t get injured game 1. He’ll Wash was one empty net away from 3-1 series lead.

[@Mikgwerd]

And if the caps had a slightly better goalie it would've been a sweep. They basically gave the blueprints on how to beat the Panthers to the bolts.

[@orwellknew9112]

@@Mikgwerd I thought the Lightning’s blueprint was a guy named Vasilevskiy. Washington gave him to TB?

[@npz1838]

Jesus H Christ, Vasy is just insanely clutch when it matters most. I am still having nightmares as a Wings fan for trading away our first round pick to the Lightning for Kyle Quincey...That pick was used to select Vasy 😭

[@tee_es_bee]

They 🦆ing swept Florida! Wow, massive respect.

[@warriorloft]

Panther fans said they were gonna win for the Leafs. They did one better. Got SWEPT!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@lincolnpaton8924]

TB is a strong team

[@01TA]

They certainly showed that without Point in the lineup. What other team could lose a top 3 player and sweep an opponent?

[@lukaz3336]

@@01TA He's not a top 3 player but we can put it this way, he is the best 5th player in the league by far.

[@lukaz3336]

@@01TA But ya it's crazy that they lost Point and still swept not just an opponent but the President's trophy winners.

[@jamiekoh6113]

Still early but I'm so pulling for the Bolts to pull a threepeat. HISTORY MAKING.

[@01TA]

Especially in the cap era.

[@SeekandDewhiplash]

First, Vasi is insane! Was a let down to see Brian Elliott in net for Tampa the one game I got to see them play this year in person. Second, get after it Pat Maroon! Notching a second series winning goal!

As long as Tampa has vasilevsky (probably didn’t spell that right) they are cup contenders!

[@OO-bo4xk]

The lightning-leafs series should’ve been the one in the finals because it’s probably the tightest one we’ll see this season.

[@01TA]

Horrible 1st round matchup but that's the way it works. Tampa didn't care about the standings and Toronto got stuck with them.

[@Bazik7777]

Андрей красавчик 🔥 Let's Go Tampa 👍🏼✌🏻✊🏻

[@redsader86]

If you just looked at the SOGs, you would think the Panthers dominated; but if you looked at the actual chances, they maybe had 5 really good shots (triple post included). The other shots were just getting it on net that Vasy was able to stop. VASY is definitely the GOAT or will be.

[@shiifty1622]

only one team can win my friend.

[@валерийвалерий-з5э]

Игровые аргументы Тампы значительно разнообразнее! Посмотрите только на игру в обороне и меньшинстве! Высокий темп и скоростная атака с ходу - более ничего Флорида предложить не смогла, так что проигрыш закономерен! Бобровский великолепен, но не может он тащить абсолютно всё на ноль! Пантеры, пока, до следующего сезона!( К слову сказать, фортуна им и так помогла в матчах с Вашингтоном, могло бы и всё уже там закончится!)

If Tampa faces Carolina next round, and Colorado in the finals, then they would have faced the top 4 team in the league during their playoff run.
