If we learned anything from the Tampa Bay Lightning, it's that they have no problem winning and gloating afterwards. However, when it comes to losing, the Lightning don't handle that so well.

The two time defending Stanley Cup Champions were hoping to do what hasn't been done in a salary cap era: a three-peat as Stanley Cup champions. Unfortunately for them, they failed to achieve that goal Sunday night as the Lightning were knocked off their thrones by the new kings of hockey; the Colorado Avalanche.
Clearly, it was a tough loss for the Lightning that they didn't take very well. In the dying seconds of the game you could see Nikita Kucherov taking a temper tantrum on the bench like a spoiled kid and would throw his gloves at the Lightning equipment manager for not getting him a stick when he wanted after his stick would break.
That's not all we would see. Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, who's usually very calm and collected, would be seen uncharacteristically picking up a Lightning helmet and smashing it against the wall in frustration.
Unfortunately the broadcast quickly cut away from Vasilevskiy's explosion so we didn't get to see all of it but clearly this isn't the way you should be acting especially with the younger next generation of hockey fans watching.
