Tying a league high for the most wins ever in a single season than getting swept in the first round of the playoffs
The Tampa Bay Lightning just got 4-0ed by the fucking colored blowjobs. The best team in the leagues, just got decimated.

A slang term for a group of thieves. Especially useful to describe thieves who are very lucky yet have limited skill.
Man 1: My house just got robbed! I bet it was the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Man 2: Oh yeah, they’ve been stealing from everyone.
Man 2: Oh yeah, they’ve been stealing from everyone.
