And so there it is, the Bolts have exorcised their demons from last year and brought home the Cup under rather unusual circumstances.
Kudos to them, and to the runners-up as well for giving it such a good shot.
(At least Steven Stamkos got to appear in one game and scored a goal.)
Sure it's not going to feel quite right, having to win it in a mostly empty arena, but when all is said and done, it's still going to be "Tampa Bay Lightning" on the championship belt.
(And I don't think there needs to be an asterisk associated with the win, since the Bolts had already qualified for the playoffs before the pandemic hit.)
cheers,
Gabe
