The inevitable has happened, as the Tampa Bay Lightning eliminated the New York Rangers in a gentleman's sweep of sorts, winning four straight after dropping the first two games. The Lightning are on to their third-straight Stanley Cup Final, how did they do it?

Facing off against the Colorado Avalanche, can the Lightning prevail and win a third straight cup? Who are the x-factors on each team? Can the Avalanche overcome the goaltending deficit they face?

Where do the Lightning sit on the all-time list of greatest teams ever? Both short term and long term, they might be one of the greatest teams of all time.
