The Lightning should not be ahead of the Blackhawks. I don’t care that they lost two SCF series. The Hawks won 3 in 6 and had 2 WCF appearances in a 7 year span.
Tampa beat a #12 seed in the SCF and a nothing Dallas team. They had to play the Islanders in the ECF both years too. They didn’t beat any great teams and got spanked by Colorado, an actual great team, in 2022

That 2007 Ducks team was pretty strong. Burke really put something special together with that one.
