People were comparing Tampa Bay's regular season to the 2001 Mariners, 1998 Yankees, 1996 Bulls, 2008 Patriots. One of the most dominant ever. And they get swept in the 1st round.

Colossal fail. At least the 2018 Virginia Cavaliers MBB team just lost one game. Ditto U.S.S.R. Olympic Hockey 1980.

Look up this year’s NHL standings and goal differential. And then swept? Epically bad.

Not as big of upset as Virginia but way worse choke job than Virginia.

Tampa had four chances to win one game. Virginia only had one.

Tampa tied the regular season wins record. It would be like if Golden State was swept after their 73 win season

Aren’t NHL playoff series notoriously random?

A game is random. A series, especially a sweep, isn't.

Wouldn’t call it the greatest upset but certainly a large choke

It’s pretty bad but IIRC the President’s Trophy winner has only actually won like 3 of the last 11 Stanley Cups

They need to go back to 1-8 seeding in the NHL bc now the Toronto-Boston winner gets a relatively easy 2nd round they don’t really deserve

choke?

It's very unlikely.

They are very similar teams.

Honestly, probably Washington.


Also your whole point doesn't even make sense. The 2nd best team in the East was Boston. 3rd was Leafs.

So, you're dumb as frick regardless.

Go look at the final standings. The 4-5 would have been NYI-Pitt
