Torts is a good coach and has created a great  defensive plan. But still this is shocking. 

And hot goalies can steal series. Bob is totally out playing Vasy, which is kind of shocking to me. Thought it may be a low scoring, goalie battle but Bob has stopped more Grade A chances than Vasy has

Good point. Teams can ride a good goalie all the way to the finals. I still have a feeling the Lightening can figure this out though. There is just too much talent on this team to lose a seven game series and get bounced in the first round. Game three is huuuuggggeee.

I think one problem is that they are trying to set the tone by being more physical than Columbus, out hit them by a huge margin this game, and that's just not their game. They can definitely be physical when they need to be but I think trying to initiate that type play is hurting them .....

Coach also needs to play both Callahan and Colburn. Cally has the experience to settle everyone down on the ice.

I'll be shocked if both aren't in tomorrow ...... although, Cally may be an automatic if Kuch gets a suspension.

Got one game so Sunday will be Cally, and hopefully Coburn, time ........ A bad omen was the 2 kid skaters that open the game both had Coburn as their favorite player, which was a first for any game I attended this year,

Dont mean to be a debbie downer.....but i am in shock, stund, depressed, angry, in utter disbelive.

I know the series isnt over. But if we do lose this series,  would it be considered the biggest sporting debaclec i. tampy bay sports history?    I say yes becasue of the ulra high expectaions this year.

I'm sure it will by a ton of people but, depending on how things end up, not sure I can, just based on the animal that is playoff hockey and who we're playing. Doug Williams, Booker Reese, Bo Jackson are all up there in the annals of Tampa Bay sports blunders.

it’s safe to say this series is over. Biggest collapse in the playoffs by any team ever and we don’t even have injuries to blame
