When is the last time a presidents trophy winner ran away from the rest of the league like the Lightning are this season? While there are no guarantees it's going to take a monumental effort to beat them in a best of 7 series. Likely will require a goaltender playing out of this world and really this hasn't been a stellar season for goaltenders around the league maybe partly due to equipment changes but I just don't see any goaltenders this season that are going to be able to shut that team down for 4/7 games. They totally dominated the Flames in a nothing regular season game. Wait until they step it up a notch in the playoffs. They are the best team we have seen in a long time.
