The Tampa Bay Lightning had an opportunity in front of them tonight that would have put an end to the Eastern Conference Finals once and for all and punched their one-way ticket to the Stanley Cup Finals, but the Lightning seemed to fall to pieces leaving fans with their hands held in the air wondering what happened.
Before we get into this, it is going to sound like a lot of doom and gloom, which to some degree it very much is, but we want you to remember that the Tampa Bay Lightning has three more periods in front of them to prove that they earned their spot in the post season and they aren’t ready to head home just yet.
