This weekend we saw the full range of the 2021-2022 Tampa Bay Lightning. In Game Three, we saw a team relentlessly tank its chances at winning through self-inflicted wounds. Then we saw a focused group throttle a very good opponent in Game Four. Both endings of those games didn’t completely follow suit—Tampa Bay found some much-needed momentum and pressure at the tail end of Game Three, and Toronto managed to scrounge up their own at the end of Game Four. However, what we’ve come to conclude is this series makes little sense and none of these games have been entirely competitive from start to finish.
