Tampa Bay beating Montreal in the Stanley Cup Finals actually does the Lightning no favors for their 3rd in a Row, which would be the 1st Since the Isles of Denial. I'd think that the quality of a 3 in a Row or More would do no favors, especially if we had not had a Dynasty since the Early 1990's.
Montreal does not forget and beating Toronto in a Playoff Series would have came for naught. If I was a Montreal Fan, I would have every right to be angry. I wouldn't want a 3 In a Row, especially when a Lucky Break by Brett Hull iced one Edmonton Oilers 3 in a Row and The Trade iced another. The Penguins 3 in a Row was iced by Mario Lemieux nearly dying tomorrow, and the Red Wings 3 in a Row was ruined by Konstinov and Fetisov and the Penguins next 3 in a Row was iced by Las Vegas being an instant contender.
I feel this is Too Much of a Good Thing like the Student Section, and I'd be happier to pack up the Student Section and put it away. Not only that, in hindsight, we should have had the Montreal vs. Edmonton Series just to pick it up.
Even though it was not 18 Years between Back to Backs,but, this one was not Last Summer to the Next. Other than not denying Tampa Bay has a Strong Core, but, that would be effortlessly efficient.
