Saying that you "have fast skaters too" as an answer as to you are going to control Tampa's speed is laughable. The Lightning were down 3 starting defense at most points during that stretch, and still managed to keep the Rangers impotent.

Good Luck Joey, ought to be an enjoyable series

"All season" = 3 games in the first two months. Sorry if I don't think that's an overwhelming sample size to say the Lightning are going to skate circles around the Rangers.

Our best defenseman missed two of those games too and the Rangers are very clearly much better than they showed early in the season. Like I said, I always thought the Lightning were the other Cup contender in the East. I just think it's funny that you were crossing your fingers hoping you'd get to face the Presidents' Trophy winners based off of 3 games in November.
