[Luigi Lemieux]

That banner raising ceremony is going to be awkward lol

 

[Empoleon8771]

This is hilarious, mostly because it makes me drown out the sorrows of my own team.

 

[Orfieus]

It was a year of making records....

 

[NHL1674]

I can't recall a choke that big. What the hell, Tampa?! Damn frustrating.

 

[Emerz]

Nice cap off to a historic season am I right? Another record!

 

[Capsman]

Hey Cedric Paquette...karma.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Lol Kuchrov

 

[Jtown]

62 1/3 wins!

 

[TheFountainhead]

Bruh...

 

[Rygu]

I bet alcohol sales in Tampa will also set records tonight.

 

[jbobell98]

brutal tampa should be ashamed

 

[Ozz]

Well, at least my team didn't have the worst showing of the playoffs. Not far off, but this was a disaster. Yikes.

Biggest choke job in history

To me, the turning point in Tampa Bay's faith was losing Hedman to injury in a meaningless game at the end of the season.

Maybe coaches will learn, someday!

 

[North Cole]

LOL

 

[The Pale King]

Love it for the Blue Jackets but this makes it even easier for me to ignore the majority of the regular season. Kings did it as an 8 seed in 2012, so we've seen this before, but a sweep? Incredible.

Between this and my team finishing second last and drafting fifth, I'm questioning whether the RS has any value beyond dividing the top half of teams from the bottom.

 

[Tebowz]

This is crazy ... one of the greatest teams ever assembled getting swept in first round.

 

[CasusBelli]

Now, if Pittsburgh gets swept, today will have been a phenomenal hockey day.

 

[deaderhead28]

Lightning fans this series.

 

[CH25]

62 wins...

 

[Satire]

Historic season boys.

62 wins, should have saved 16 of them for the post season. There's always next year I guess.

 

[780il]

BRING OUT THE BROOMS!

 

[Big Ed]

I have nothing against Tampa but lmao.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Stunning.
