NHL Fans Troll End of Lightning Dynasty After Panthers Clinch Playoff Series Win | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

The Tampa Bay Lightning's season is over after losing Game 5 against the Florida Panthers 6-1 on Monday.

After going down 3-0 in the series, the Lightning managed to get a win in Game 4, but they weren't able to rally to force a Game 6 and have now been eliminated from the playoffs.

Tampa Bay had two goals called back in the game, though those goals wouldn't have made much of a difference as the Panthers put four goals on the board in the final period to make it a comfortable win.

With the loss, NHL fans now claim that the Panthers have officially ended the Lightning dynasty.

Watching the Tampa Bay dynasty come to a close in real time is so crazy. Hockey was blessed to see this team, not sure when the league will see it again

Nervous for Playoff Hockey @MrEthanWade01

It's weird seeing Tampa Bay go out like this. They were so good for so long, but I guess that's how all dynasties end.

The end of a dynasty. Goodbye <a href="">#Lightning</a>. Stamkos future in question

Tampa Bay Lightning lose its a end of a dynasty

The Lightning have had an outstanding run over the last five years with a pair of Stanley Cup titles and a Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 2022, but after a back-to-back first-round exits, it might be time to declare it the end of Tampa Bay's dynasty.

Things looked promising for the Lightning heading into the postseason as they were one of the hottest teams in the NHL, but they couldn't carry that momentum into the postseason as the Panthers handled business.

Now Florida will look to form a dynasty of its own. The Panthers reached the Stanley Cup Finals a year ago and seem poised to make a big run again this year.
