Tampa Bay Lightning fans might not remember, but the Bolts beat the New York Islanders in the third round of the 2020 playoffs in six games. The Lightning went on to win their second Stanley Cup in franchise history. Meanwhile, Islanders head coach Barry Trotz has been brooding over the loss, and apparently will continue to do so until his dying days. His words.
"On my death bed, that will be one of the visions that will go through my head."

While I’m sorry to hear that Trotz suffered through the series like a Shakespearean tragedy, that series with the Islanders was arguably the least memorable part of that epic postseason.
