And now a junior varsity has actually been removed from the playoffs.
The Tampa Bay Lightning signed up with the Washington Capitals in being revealed the method homeWe’re speaking about 2 clubs that had their minutes of splendor in the past, today need to handle the inescapable failure that follows more effective years.
By the method, since tonight, the Maple Leafs, Islanders, Jets and Predators might likewise need to load their bags, considering that the first-round series isn’t precisely tight … apart from the one including Vegas and Dallas.
The Lightning were the 2nd club removed, partially due to the fact that of the timing of the schedule (some clubs will undoubtedly be heading home tonight, 24 hours after Tampa Bay)… however the reality stays that for Tampa Bay, losing so early is a problem.
Losing in the preliminary in 2015 might have been viewed as “an abnormality”, or as the outcome of 3 successive seasons of making it to the Grand Finals.
Losing in the very first round once again this season is a pattern.
It’s all effectively for Jon Cooper to come out and state that the 2 objectives the Lightning were rejected the other day were due to the fact that the goalies can’t take get in touch with anymore and must be provided skirts, however …
Contacts in the playoffs are jail guidelines, however they’re not jail guidelines for goalies? The 2nd something occurs, we may also have actually put skirts on them.
They need to go through contact too.– Jon Cooper

The reality stays that if the Lightning had not put themselves in a position where Game # 5 was a no-win battle for the club, they would not have actually been at the grace of “a goalie who does not move” to produce a prohibited objective.
I’m not stating the coach is basically incorrect. Both objectives might well have actually been granted.

It’s an impressive remark from a coach trained to be a legal representative at heart. Cooper has constantly stated the best things in the playoffs to preserve control, and he flatters his challengers at the same time.
Does he feel the Lightning dynasty slipping through his hands?
