The Tampa Bay Lightnings Secret Weakness?
Since being swept in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs and putting out this infamous statement on twitter:
We don't have any words and we know you don't want to hear them.
We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you're feeling – we get it.
This isn't the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way.— Tampa Bay Lightning (@TBLightning) April 17, 2019
The Tampa Bay Lightning have gone on to win 10 straight playoff series, going 17-0 after a playoff loss, and won two back to back Stanley Cups.
Current @NYRangers forward @artemiypanarin skated with the Blue Jackets when they swept the Lightning in the 2019 First Round, which marked the last time Tampa Bay suffered consecutive playoff losses. #NHLStats #StanleyCup

Is bread Tampa's Kryptonite? Or should I say is it the Breadman? Artemi Panarin is 5-0 in his playoff career against the Lightning and has recorded 3 goals and 4 assists in those games.
