Could they? Absolutely. Would they? Who knows. Would be a good series though.

Pretty much any championship team would have a chance against any other if you really wanna push hypotheticals.

Lol. Which guys were playing and had ACL reconstruction after?


Dude. They barely beat the Islanders.

TB played one good team in 2020 and 21 combined.
ACL sprains and strains don't require surgery dude. And I love how we can deliberately choke out Barry Trotz twice with his own dead puck tactics and you think that's barely a win. It's 4 years later and we rarely touch the puck once we get a lead. It's gotten to the point we named it the "Cooper shell"

The ACL does not heal itself, so yes, a sprain does require surgery.

Either you're deliberately f***ing with me or you genuinely have no idea what you're talking about. You don't do surgery on a ligament that isn't damaged. EVERY sports medicine physician and surgeon has the patient use rest, ice, compression and elevation as a treatment for the injury because the nature of it is an over exertion. You don't do surgery on your arm because you lifted too much at the gym and you're sore. This is how and why the Lightning players were still able to compete. They're otherwise injected with anti inflammatories like ketolorac (toradol) or prednisone

We're done talking dude.
 
The ‘24 Panthers are the weakest cup winners of the cap era. I think virtually any other cup winning team after 2005 steamrolls them. Except for maybe the Blues or the Canes

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

The 2008 Wings are clearly the best Cup winner since 2005. The '07 Ducks, the 2013 Hawks, the 2016 Pens, and the 2021 Bolts are in contention for the #2 team.

They were a President's Trophy winner, and a returning SC finalist. Those other teams did not have have anything close to that pedigree. They are an average SC winner at worst.

Easily.

Way better at every position.

The Oilers were one of the weaker finalists in recent years and Florida almost choked it away to them.
