I think the thing about the Lightning is that they have no team weaknesses and can adapt their play to their opponents beating them at their own game. They simply outscored the Panthers at their own game of wide open hockey and against teams like the Hurricanes, Islanders, and Habs who tried to shut down their playoff opponents, the Lightning simply beat them at their own game and shut them down. I feel if the Avalanche or even Knights make the finals that there would have been some higher scoring and more exciting games but I feel the ultimate result would be the same.
