TAMPA, Fla. — For the second time in three years, the Tampa Bay Lightning failed to reach the Stanley Cup final. “Oh, the window is not closed,” Stamkos said after a 4-0 loss to the Washington Capitals in Game 7 of the conference final. Two days before the start of free agency, he decided to re-sign in Tampa Bay for eight years and US$68 million. But both are under contract for 2018-19, giving Tampa Bay at least another year to make a push. We want to bring a Stanley Cup back to Tampa.”• Email: mtraikos@postmedia.com | Twitter: @Michael_Traikos
