Morning After Thoughts: Tampa Bay evens the series, but they can be better

After getting dominated in Game One of their first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Tampa Bay Lightning pushed back and tied the series with a good Game Two performance. “Good” being operative word as the Lightning is better than what they’ve shown through two games. Game One was an anomaly, but Game Two still showed warts they usually don’t reveal. It didn’t bite them on Wednesday night, but if the Lightning wants to take advantage of their home ice, they still need to improve the needless turnovers that led directly to goals against.
