What makes the Lightning so good is the fact they just know how to win in any style you want to play against them. They are a complete team. Run and gun.... check. Big hit forechecking... check. Goalie duel... check. Special teams battle... check. Clog the zones... check. Even on an off night... check. No matter who they play they will be a hard out because of their structure and overall talent.

Vasy was great again and how about Point throwing hands defending himself. He didn't need to because other teammates would have but good to see him stand up for himself.

Yup, they can do it in any number of ways. Hopefully it pays off in the playoffs again

Loved seeing Point lose his poop. Just glad it didn't cost him in the form of an injury or a team PP goal against. Did you see the look on his face? He was not having any of that. Class points for not continuing to rain blows down upon the guy after he was down. He just kept shaking him by the jersey as if to say "You had enough?"

Now, imagine this current team with the addition of Kucherov when the playoffs roll around. Even if Kuch isn't 100%, he's still an elite add.

Surprised to see we lead the NHL in fighting majors.

We win because of Vasy. For no other reason. He gets hurt and...he IS the MVP of the NHL!

Vasi is making a strong case for the Vezina and the Hart.
