Doesn't Lightning in a bottle imply something very unexpected or far-fetched has occurred? Doesn't fit this situation. Tampa finished #3 overall, and based on Vegas odds were co-favourites to win the Cup. There was nothing shocking here.

Congrats* Tampa!

Really?? If the Flyers won would you still use that mark with it? I doubt it. Congrats to Tampa and Thank You NHL for giving us fans some Great Hockey to watch. The Bubble held while as I just read, the NFL has already had it first outbreak. Bring on the Draft and Free Agency...its a great time to be a hockey fan.

Goodrow, Coleman, and Maroon changed that team into a grttier winner. Reminded me of when NYR traded Amonte and Gartner for Noonan, Anderrson, and Matteu! Every team needs that tough two way line to win the cup!

Talk about career choices for Maroon, he will probably become one of those journeyman every team trades for at the TD just because he was on two cup winning teams.

Missed Don Cherry in all of this

Congrats TB! (even though I've hated you since 2004 )

Bring on more of the BS nonsense!
