Can The Lightning 3peat?

[Bettor Days]

They still have their core and best goalie in the NHL

Not a good start for Lightning, end up 6-2.

Nope, they're cursed now for breaking the Stanley Cup:

...ahaha on top of being cursed now though, they won't repeat because they lost too many good players. The salary cap has forced them into parity just like everyone else now - that's why I hate salary caps, because it doesn't let teams try to keep same team after winning Cup

Lighting is the 2nd favored team to win the 2022 Stanley Cup

I don't disagree with those odds, but there hasn't been a true dynasty(3-peat) since LGI in the eighties, and not in any PRO sport since Michael Jordan in nineties I think...in West definitely LV when they get Eichel back and COL, in East I'm thinking FLA and no one else...also thinking CGY goes far at least 1 if not 2+ rounds...TB had too many changes to justify being 2nd favoured, but 7th or 8th on that list I'd consider buying some but the rarity of the 3-peat factor is hard to overlook, not to mention the breaking the Cup curse haha just kidding
