Tampa Bay Lightning ???
04-jawdrop
Ties record for most wins in a season (#62, next best was #50). Is the sure bet favorite to win the Stanley Cup.
...Then gets swept in 1st round by the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets. Outscored 19-8 in a 4 game series. Un - Bee - lievable.

Just saw this at Sporting News: "The Tampa Bay Lightning are the first team in NHL history to win the Presidents’ Trophy and then be swept out of the first round." "Tampa Bay entered the playoffs as the heavy favorite to take home the Stanley Cup as it had one of the best regular seasons ever. But, it was shockingly overpowered by Columbus in one of the biggest upsets in NHL history." Sporting News reports that this "was the first postseason series victory for the Blue Jackets franchise." (team began play in 2000-01)

Ever seen a tweet like this from a pro team??

Followed up by:


That's why we follow sports: you never can be sure what will happen. How many really thought Tiger would win the Masters?
PS. Now "Tampa Bay Lightening" is trending worldwide on twitter.
