A quest to win the Stanley Cup for the third straight time
The Lightning is currently leading the series 3-1. Lightning coach Jon Cooper said winning the Stanley Cup for the third straight year would be “unthinkable”.
“Growing up in Canada, you always dream about having your name on the Stanley Cup,” Cooper. “To get there the first time, it was a dream come true. To get there a second time, the next year, and to go a third time is unthinkable.”
“Having won back-to-back Stanley Cups is surreal,” Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said. “To get here for a third time is crazy. During the season it’s tough to really look back and appreciate this type of run.”
As the Lightning is prepared to do their best to defend the title, the Avalance will similarly give it all.
“It’s going to be a fun series because to be the best you’ve got to beat the best,” Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog said. “And I don’t think they’ve seen anybody like us and we haven’t seen anybody like them.”
