Well, the madman actually did it, the Canadians came into Tampa and completely silenced The Lightning,I refused to jump the gun and say they are gonna lose in the first round mainly being a Floridian guy, and how peak the Winter classic was and the heroics in Game 6 but… this just never happened, they failed to jumpstart themselves during Game 7….. and blew the Alanatic lead

Now this will be the first ever Stanley Cup Finals without a Floridian team since pre covid back in 2019.

losing four first round appearances even getting owned by us this felt alot similar to how the Pens felt after those two cup runs..

At least be thankful you didn’t lose Game 6 like Oilers and Stars and actually fought till the end.

And still at least you prevented Cory Perry from losing his sixth finals appearance but skill his involvement still didn’t help at all..

There will always be another chance next year Although… Lightning fans I hope you are long prepared for this given this core tbh Those chances look very slim if I am honest you may have reached the end yes sure the Panthers got eliminated from playoff contention but too be brutal fair we had injuries and could have other chances, you all you might be done I am saying this in the most honest way possible with how possibly though your rival is gonna be and Buffalo, Montreal and others you may be screwed.

they may try to draft someone or get someone in a major trade like somehow getting Stamkos back but if this is truly it and they change up the core and blow everything up, Lightning fans as a Panthers fan I just wanna say I was jealous and wanted cups as much as you do but I respect the hell out of you the fact you have a very good ownership and won 2 cups to be fair covid but made three finals appearances like we did, be proud of that I know all dynasties change it’s just how the circle of life goes I hope you go in peace and we will meet you in Cancun unless you fall to bad luck then I won’t have any sympathy for you, I don’t have any more words for you farewell…..

CONGRATULATIONS!
