The pair are hoping for another Stanley Cup run, and Hedman hopes it’s the first of many more to come.
this week and has been translated from Swedish to EnglishThe Tampa Bay Lightning is once again set for the playoffs and a date with state rivals, the Florida Panthers. The core players from past championship times remain. Nikita Kucherov, Andrei Vasilevsky, Brayden Point, Steven Stamkos , and Victor Hedman are still the locomotives taking the team forward, aiming for another Stanley Cup.
”Absolutely not”, Hedman said. ”We’re still a fantastic team. It feels like we played better against Toronto last year than we did the year before when we beat them. It was actually good for us to have a slightly longer summer and build up our bodies better than in previous years.” ”I’ve returned to the level where I belong,” he said. ”After a down year last year, I’m back, and it feels like I have even more in me. It feels good heading into the playoffs.”Captain Steven Stamkos’s contract is expiring, and with a salary cap putting more pressure on him, it’s not yet clear if the star center will stay with the club.
”We’ll have to wait until after the playoffs and not jump to any hasty conclusions. But I believe it will work out, and he will stay here for the rest of his career.”
