Covering defeat in the wake of victory and the post-series media narrative
In the hours after the Tampa Bay Lightning concluded it's sweep of the Washington Capitals, the media narrative (minus ooh-ing and aah-ing over Sean Bergenheim and several members of the Tampa Bay Lightning roster) have been focused squarely on the loss.
