After tying an NHL record with 62 wins in the regular season, the Tampa Bay Lightning were swept out of the playoffs by the Columbus Blue Jackets Tuesday night in shocking fashion.

Following the 7-3 defeat in Game 4, Tampa's official Twitter account sent out a message to their fans.

"We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them. We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness," the Tweet said. "Everything you’re feeling – we get it. This isn’t the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way."
