Scoring has always been a superpower for the Lightning. But, as jtbourne writes, Tampa has room to take another step on offence in these playoffs.
Maybe you’ve got a friend who was short all through high school who grew suddenly and rapidly as a teen, and now it’s weird to accept that they’re actually your tall friend. I bring this up because it’s tough to think of theas a team that might struggle offensively at times, but that’s their current reality.
Some of their new defensive focus slowed down their offensive results, but it always felt like the goals were in their bag if they ever needed to pull them out to score at a big moment.
I mention it’s hard to change our perception of something off the top because look at the reality for the Lightning when it’s come to scoring at 5-on-5 over their run. The past two years they’ve hardly been among the league’s best at scoring. Look at their league-wide rank:Of course, ninth in 5-on-5 scoring isn’t bad by any stretch – it’s significantly better than the Rangers, who were in the league’s bottom third – only things have shifted from the realities of the regular season totals.
