Long List of Tampa Injuries

Going to three straight cup finals in well less than three calendar years is pretty incredible.


The Lightning are all but a modern dynasty, and they've been one of the most dangerous teams in the league for five years. Unfortunately, all good things come to an end, as they fell to the triumphant Leafs in round one.

We now know, however, that they were very banged up in the process.



So, Jeannot wasn't a healthy scratch after all, but it was a pretty easy decision to scratch him.

As for Brayden Point, he truly is a warrior! He's been unlucky with injuries the past two playoffs, but he fought as hard as he could.

This years' Leafs were just too good, and fighting through Tampa in round one is just a sign of what's to come.
