6/8 years, the Lightning were either knocking on the door of the finals, in the finals, or they won (twice). So 75% of those years they were in a real contending position. Not sure how he thinks that's lightning in a bottle. He hung himself with his own evidence.
And then he mentioned Vegas, which had a similar arch before winning, lol.
Unreal the mental gymnastics people will continue to play to hang on to the "get in and anything can happen" framework the Flames have sold them.
