Lightning Star Criticizes Maple Leafs in Recent Interview

The Tampa Bay Lightning have put together an impressive run in recent years, making three Stanley Cup Finals while winning two, and throughout that time, they've been dominant over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

A one-sided rivalry

Over that time, the Lightning have had their way with Toronto, but last year, the Leafs got their revenge, escaping the first-round for the first time in 19 years.


They would fail to go any further after losing to the Florida Panthers in round two however, and that was a fact that didn't escape one key member of the Lightning squad.

Big time criticism

Unsurprisingly, the Leafs have once again come under scrutiny, as Mikhail Sergachev, a defenceman of the Lightning has dissed the team in a recent interview.


With the current format, there's a good chance these two meet in the playoffs again, and if that's the case, expect this rivalry to once again get physical between two of the best teams in the NHL, but at this point, it's hard to argue with Sergachev's points.
