I didn’t give the Tampa Bay Lightning much chance of repeating as Eastern Conference champions after losing superstar Steven Stamkos late in the regular season to a blood clot issue that was expected to sideline him for the entire playoffs. I’m still not ready to say the Bolts will win the East, but they can take a big step toward … click title for full article.Written by Henry Watkins on May 4, 2016
