The Tampa bay Lightning teams were really good in 20 and 21. Even the 22 team was good. The only team that gave them a run were the Islanders (who were really good as well). I'd bet on the Tampa Bay lightning to win that series, but both teams were really solid cup winners

Could Gordie Howe elbow Scott Stevens and end his career? If these two teams were put in the same year, what are the chances they even face each other?
I voted no, because i think 24 Panthers are more complete team, a lot of NHL players have said how they just grind and grind until you got nothing. Is the 21 Bolts a more skilled team? Sure.

I know I've often bashed the Panthers and am not their biggest fan, but in all honestly I definitely prefer Tampa by a lot here.
In my opinion - this Tampa core is the strongest team of the cap era. I'd have them over anyone else too. And Panthers aren't #2.

2024 Panthers don’t have a player the caliber of Kucherov, who is one of the best 3 players in the entire world, nor do they have a prime Hedman on the backend, or the best playoff goalie of his generation in net. This is Tampa Bay easily.

First reaction Tampa. But then I looked back at the 2021 playoffs, they beat Florida in 6 games in rd 1. Instead of Huberdeau, weegar they would have tkachuk, ekblad (ekblad didn’t play in the 2021 playoffs), montour, OEL, Lundell and Tarasenko. That’s a big upgrade over 2021 Florida. I’ll go Florida but it’s a pickem
Then the next season Tampa Bay swept them in dominating fanshion, giving up only 3 goals the entire series. That team had Ekblad playing, plus Lindell and Montour, didn’t matter. Yes, they added Tkachuk and some other pieces after that, but not enough to make a 4-0 series difference. Those Lightning teams were deep and had star power up and down the lineup.
A good argument. I’d counter by saying the 2024 having gone through pryer dissapoints in 2021 and 2022 and earning experience would make players better and more hungry. I’d also add Paul Maurice wasn’t part of those Florida teams and hired summer of 2022.

Tampa squeezed by a NYIslanders team 4-3 and won 1-0 in game 7. Yes Tampa was a very good team, but very beatable. If the 2021 isles can take Tampa that far, 2024 Florida has a 50/50shot

Not a question. That 21 Lightning team could probably beat anyone in the last 25 years or at least come close.

That seems a bit unfair considering they're still the reigning champions lol.
