In Jon Cooper’s media availability last night he was asked about the calls that went against the Tampa Bay Lightning early in Game Two, he answered, “Adversity strikes in the weirdest ways.” He’s right on that point, and adversity has hit the Lightning in a variety of ways this postseason. Tampa Bay has managed to push through that adversity so far, but that has largely been thanks to the play of Brayden Point and Yanni Gourde’s lines driving play and forcing opposing teams into mistakes (or Zach Bogosian dangling through defenders like he’s Bobby Orr, but who am I to judge a legend like Bogosian).
