I should despise the Lightning. I really should. But I can’t. Not really.
They haven’t quite risen to the level of bile I have reserved for other teams with far more deserving targets. I just can’t force myself to get mad at them in the way I have vitriol of Montreal (instilled), Toronto (Learned), or Chicago (absolutely fucking earned).
