To me, this Tampa team really bears no connection to the one that beat Calgary in the finals. All of the key players from that team are long gone, and there hasn't been anything between the two organizations since to sustain any type of rivalry. Plus, I like the way the team plays, and I like a lot of the players on this current team, especially Stamkos, who I would like to see win a cup more than any other single player left in the playoffs.
If Winnipeg can't come back against Vegas, Tampa will be my number one team for the remainder of the playoffs.
