HITTING THE MARK

Tampa Bay D Victor Hedman and RW Nikita Kucherov both finished the series with eight assists to tie the franchise playoff record for most assists in a postseason series. The mark was originally set by Kucherov against the New York Islanders in the 2020 Eastern Conference Finals.

Seven of Hedman’s assists came on the power play. Only two players have recorded more power-play assists in a single series since the stat was tracked starting in 1933-34: Paul Coffey with Detroit in 1993 and Mario Lemieux with Pittsburgh in 1992.

Tampa Bay Lightning eliminate rival Florida Panthers with Game 6 shutout - TSN.ca

Literally Vezinalevskiy, lol.

I just literally said to myself before reading this "In 40 years they'll change it to The Vasilevskiy Trophy"

We'll most likely have to wait till the "Brodeur Trophy - Sponsored by ADT" to cycle itself out first though.

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Does anyone remember a fanbase so vigorously working the salt mines after being beat by the Lightning in previous years? Some of these guys won't give it a rest.

I'm going to take my 2,020th post (on this account) to remind everyone that the Lightning were the 2020 Stanley Cup champions.

And I'm going to take my 2,021st post to let everyone know that they're going to be the 2021 Stanley Cup champions, too.

Boom.

It's just too bad I'm way too far past 2,022 to do that bit again.
