Probably coddling their own ego since Bergevin was pretty big in helping build those/that teams.
The 2015 Hawks actually did beat em,not this exact team of course but a TB team that was on fire coming into that series.
Not the same 2015 Tampa team, the 2021 version are exceptionally better. Vaskalesky is far better than Bishop, the defense is stronger, this team.has more grit and scoring power.
A far better team(no cap'll do that)but the Bolts and the triplets were scalding hot coming into the SCF in 15 and got shut right down. Tampa is built better than any other team(see the aforementioned cap)and they also picked the right time to be a very good team with all the underachieving,overpaid millennials unable to advance. Any good team beats the Stars and the Habs IMO.
