What, the 18 points didn't catch your eye? 18 points in 55 games while playing is 11 minutes a game is very commendable. That's good for a 27 point pace in an 82 game season. Well above the average.
Combine that with Tampa's elite talent and that's why they're Stanley Cup champions and we're left wondering why we can't get out of the first round or can't even get to the dance.
Talking about 4th liner's production isn't everyone's cup of tea, I get that. But I don't discount it either because the margin for victories is so small in today's game that a goal here or a goal there can make the difference between a few points in the standings which can ultimately decide who's in and who's out of the playoffs.
