No one has ever done that before … We’ll look back one day and wonder: How was it that Hedman won so few Norris Trophies? He only has one as of now. Probably should have three … Kucherov has 66 points in the past two playoff seasons.

This Lightning team is special good. Best goaltender in the league, best defensemen in the league, best two playoff forwards in the league, and arguably the best head coach in the league. Hats off to that organization for drafting and building a team that has no weaknesses at all. I'm glad they are going to win the cup as the organization fully deserves it for being better than the rest of the league at nearly everything.
