The Tampa Bay Lightning didn’t exactly get off to the start one would’ve hoped. After a strong first period of play, things seemed to fall apart rather quickly. Four unanswered goals later, the Lightning found themselves with a rather bad taste in their mouth otherwise known as a Game 1 loss.
As much as one would like to scream at the heavens in frustration (and trust me, we have) a loss in Game 1 is not the end of the world. There’s a reason there are seven games in a series. A team is going to lose every now and then.
