Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper is never going to apologize for a win. However, he is going to point out that the way the Lightning played last night against the New York Rangers in their 6-2 victory isn’t exactly a method that breeds a long playoff run. They scored on the special teams (which is good) and Andrei Vasilevskiy quietly had one of his best games of the year (also good), but they were absolutely rag-dolled in terms of scoring chances (that’s bad) and shots (that’s kind of bad) at even-strength play.
