Think Tampa is starting to play a lot like they were in last year's playoffs when they got rolling good... contributions from lots of people up front, Hedman really elevating his game, Bishop outstanding in net.
I feel like this will be an entertaining series, with fun and fast hockey. I also think Tampa wins it- lots of folks already writing them off in 5 or 6 games, maybe folks that haven't watched the Lightning much this year? This is a good, deep team that can will it all. They learned a lot last season and it's just about the same roster.
Lightning in 7.
