When playoffs start smart money is still on TB,all the other teams are aware of that too.so going down the stretch here their games will be tougher because every player and coach will be measuring themselves against the defending champs and one of top favs to win.not gonna be any easy games left for tb no matter who they face,and that's what will help them get into that playoff mentality before it starts.

The Lightning's depth is being tested. When Vasi is merely average or a few bad bounces end up in the back of the net, this group is lacking structure and a solid team effort to compensate for that. Johnson floating around doesn't help things. With Kucherov and Stamkos out, and Point not producing as much (hurt?), it falls on guys like Johnson, Cirelli, Killorn, and Palat to put pucks in the net. We can't keep expecting rookies to bail us out (Colton), or 4th-liners (Joseph) to keep riding a PDO wave.
Is it just me, or has Point seemed a little off in recent games (not so much last night, but overall in the last 6-8 games) ??
It almost seems like he's not 100%.

Why did BB not get a decent back-up for Vasi!!?? This is Tampa's Achilles heel!
