Yes, the Tampa Bay Lightning lost Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Chicago Blackhawks 2-1 at Amalie Arena in Tampa on Wednesday night. A bad sign for the Bolts?
Not really. Why? The Lightning also lost the first game in the series that they played against the Detroit Red Wings (also at Amalie Arena). The Bolts also lost the first game of the series against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden in the Eastern Conference Final.
Both of those series went seven games. I see the same thing with the Lightning-Blackhawks series as well.
