The Lightning's playoff injury list is absolutely crazy

For starters, Brayden Point, who was injured in the New York series did not play in the Finals and it's been revealed that he has a tear in his quad and will make a full recovery in a few weeks.

Flyers reporter Joe Smith reports on Twitter that about nine Tampa players were playing through a significant injury, some of which need immediate surgery.

Firstly, Brandon Hagel fractured his foot in round two against the Florida Panthers. Nick Paul was playing with two sprains; an AC joint sprain and MCL sprain. The veteran Corey Perry played through a shoulder AC joint sprain whilst Ryan McDonagh had a «mangled» finger after blocking a shot sometime in the New York series.

Looking down the list, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare had suffered a meniscus injury even before heading into playoffs. Anthony Cirelli suffered AC joint sprain which will require surgery. Lastly, Kucherov had a meniscus issue.

Love or hate them, the guts, bravery and determination exhibited by the Lightning here is admirable. There is a reason they made it to three straight Cup finals and it's because of the culture of winning. All players are expected to make a full recovery.
