Quick Strikes: The Lightning fights cancer, wins against Edmonton 5-2

The Tampa Bay Lightning played the Edmonton Oilers last night, and lavender was all the rage at the team’s annual Hockey Fights Cancer game.

Although finding a cure was the focus of the night, things couldn’t get started without a little Connor McDavid talk. It was Edmonton in town, after all.

An informal, anonymous poll of the Lightning dressing room came down on McDavid’s favor, but not unanimously and not without qualifications. Even as they named McDavid, players didn’t rule out Crosby.

Prior to the game, though, chatter revolved around pre-game naps and goalie helmets.
