You don't need us to tell you, but the Tampa Bay Lightning capped off a historic season by sputtering out and getting swept in the team's first round Stanley Cup Playoff series against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Armchair analysis is in the air this morning, but let's not forget that Twitter is where all the ridonkulous (and occasionally intelligent) thoughts actually get aired out. Have a look some some Tweets from seasoned reporters (shoutout to The Athletic's Joe Smith, Lightning beat reporter Bryan Burns and Raw Charge's Matthews Esteves), angry TV guys (Bobby Lewis is hurt), good supporters, bandwagon fans, folks who make dank memes, and, yes, Dunkin Donuts. See you next season, fans.
