Why don't we just hold on for a second. That game was disappointing, but the series isn't over yet. If anything the Lightning have shown throughout the playoffs that they can be explosive and resilient. Just ask the Pens how they were feeling before the Lightning took 3 wins in a row, 2 of which were in Pit, to eliminate them.
The game last night was definitely winnable, just too many things were just a little bit off. Sure, Thomas was good last night, but considering the Bolts have scored 5 goals in 3 of the 5 games this series he is by no means unbeatable. If the Bolts can string two strong offensive performances together they have a decent chance of making the Finals.
