The Tampa Bay Lightning, who tied a record for most wins in the Cap era, not only lost in the first round of the playoffs but they got SWEPT in four straight games. They didn’t lose that many games in entire MONTHS during the year.
Give the Blue Jackets credit; they did a good job playing a tough game against Tampa. They were hot at the right time, while Tampa dealt with some injuries and poor performances they hadn’t faced all season. If you want an idea of how it happened, Alan at Raw Charge wrote this great piece ahead of game four.
