Our Penguins Can Learn From the Lightning

With so many good teams vying for the Stanley Cup, I’ve been following the playoffs with quite a bit of interest. I’ve been particularly impressed with Colorado and Edmonton, two highly skilled teams that play with speed ‘n’ skill. And who knows? One of them may capture Lord Stanley’s coveted chalice.

There’s another team that’s grabbed my attention.

Tampa Bay.

At first blush, the Lightning looked old and slow. Reinforcing an impression I formed during the regular season when we clobbered them by scores of 6-2 and 5-1 and basically skated circles round them.
