Tampa Bay's 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. They currently find themselves in the Eastern Conference Final for the third straight year but are down 1-0 in the series against the New York Rangers. Will the streak continue or has Tampa Bay's secret weakness finally been revealed?
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. Will Tampa's gluten allergy prove true or will the bounce back streak continue? There's only one way to find out tune in tonight at 8PM ET for game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
