It feels like every year the Lightning set themselves up as the cup favorite and every year, they are a disappointment.

It sucks being this good..... Said no one ever.

Tell me about it. It's tough having to look so far back to see your closest competition.

Bummer for sure.

The whole point to my post was, if they were that good, they would have won something already.

They haven’t. Which brings up the failure comments.

Something you can relate to i'm sure

 

[Keystone]

This Tampa team is historic

Not often anymore that 1 specific team Not winning the cup is a huge upset, but it sure would be this year.

 

[PromisedLand]

League needs to test Kuch for illegal and alien substance in his body; he has been in on all the freakin' tampa goals

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Golden Knights May not make the playoffs with this consistently garbage performance night in and night out.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

I see that I’m not allowed to bring up that the Lightning do this every year and continue to not close.

I’ll remember that before half the population of Tampa Bay jumps on my back.

Will Kucherov hit the 100 point mark tonight?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I know what Kucherov is doing, but I don’t understand it. Like... how. What?

 

[The Macho King]

For the record that graphic on NBCSN was wrong. Kucherov had a 5 point game earlier this season.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

The game I thought would have been a dud of the night is the game I'm currently watching because 10 goals have been scored in a period and little under 3 minutes. No defense in Chicago tonight?

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Heddy with a lower body injury

 

[God King Fudge]

Man. Kuch hit the club record for assists with 20+ games to go. That is absolutely bananas.

They finished third last season and 18th the year before 12th the year before that. ? ?

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Tampa and Kucherov make NHL boring at the moment, to be quite frank.

Lol since when have the Bolts done this "every year" ????? Can you even point to one single similar season (no)

Last season was the first time we won the division since 04.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

The thing that really pisses me off is some saying NO. Simply because he has a strong supporting cast. That is just plain STUPID talk. The man is possessed.

Tampa Bay would be a very different team if Kucherov was not on it. I really hate that the MVP has turned into best player and your team has to make the playoffs. It should always be the player who makes the rest of your team better, not who leads in points. Kucherov makes that team go, based on what I've seen.

 

[Master Yoda]

They have more than enough coming off naturally through UFA.

They'll be fine.

Point is RFA and will need a contract. Probably 8M or more And unless you want to play 4 dmen they will need to sign a couple of dmen. Then the following year they need to sign Vasilevski and Sergachev. They will need to move some of their fwd depth.

Simple.
He sneezes points

They will prob find a way to move Callahan and Miller . Neither will be huge losses

 

[Kegsey]

What if Tampa didn't have Vasi?

This is a special season. And Kuch is unreal.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Yeah the Lightning have too many good players - aka the best “problem” to have
