I'm not going to overanalyze this loss. I'm sure we all saw the same thing, a team that was outplayed.
Was it preparation (the Lightning looked prepared) desperation from the Lightning, fatigue from the warm sun of Florida, bad ice, a good time had in New York, we'll never know, but banking all these points allows for off nights.
Now comes back to back with the defending champs followed by a grueling road trip. We'll see what comes next.
I thought Morrissey was pretty dialed in this game.
Brandon Hagel on the other side impressed me the most.
