Here, we will address why most of the people who would rather play Boston over Tampa Bay are egregiously wrong in their assessment of Tampa Bay, why Tampa is the outright most dominant team in the NHL and why the Toronto Maple Leafs should not be in favor of playing the lightning in the first round.
First off, I would like to point out that the Lightning did start off slow in terms of being in the standings but they appeared worse for some key reasons which we will cover. But since the slow start in terms of standings points, they are 22-2-1 on an absolute tear, back to the team before the playoffs last season.
