What you meant to say is you don't understand why certain teams lost. That doesn't make it luck.I voted for 1.
I could see them winning 2 or 3 Presidents Trophies. They're the best team in the NHL.
The playoffs is more of a crapshoot.
Tampa had obvious weaknesses which I referred to way back in the regular season. I was one of the first people to say they weren't winning the Cup. I think their problems are fixable, though, and I don't buy into the notion that they're incapable of winning the Cup.What you meant to say is you don't understand why certain teams lost.

TB lost consecutive games twice all last regular season, yet lost all 4 playoff games. The odds of that happening naturally are very low. It's almost as if the regular season is different than the playoffs.
An apparition is a ghost lolUsing this (end of pre-season favorite vs actual winners):
Futures Odds of NHL Champions
In the 2000s, except for the Senators (and their windows were cut exceptionally by the lock out) no team made multiple apparition in the top 2 favorites without winning the cup eventually, occurrence in the top 2:
It is logic has having won the cup recently seem being a major factor in who get the lowest odd line, it is true that the favorite very rarely win it in a 30, now 31 team league in a high luck sport like hockey, but[TBODY] [/TBODY]

1) the winner was almost always either a top 5 favorite or was one the year just before (2019 Blues, 2012 Kings, 2006 Canes, 2004 Lightings being the exceptions).
2) Top team for a long window like Tampa seem to still have a good % of chance of winning at least one at some point no ?
The Favorite winning a cup a giving year is quite unlikely, if they can stay the favorite 3-4 season in a row I feel it get quite likely, i.e. a team good enough to have 20% to win the cup 4 year's in a row would have 60% chance of winning at least one.
Yes we have never had good/deep runs in the playoffs. Just get swept year after yearWhat you meant to say is you don't understand why certain teams lost. That doesn't make it luck.

You were literally both last season. The truth kind of lies in both statements.It seems that most hockey fans either call the Lightning a team of chokers or a dominant force to be reckoned with.
The truth lies somewhere in between, but I wouldn't want to stand in the way of hyperbole.
You might need to change Cooper if this is really the case. Easier than changing the team.These losers aren't winning jack ****. The book is out on how to play them, Trotz exposed Cooper two years ago and I don't see anything changing given how this team is constructed.
No team has the inside track winning the cup. Just sayin.
Nah. Odds are one thing, but if there was a team with the inside track, people would more accurately predict the cup winners before each season.Maybe not on Lake Woebegone. Everywhere else there's a team with the best odds.
