We scored 8 in 5 games ...... 31 would need 3 shutouts to even have a chance
TB has too much scoring depth , we got killed by their secondary players
They scored 9 goals vs our 8 total output
It was all a matter of who scored first, the first that scored the first goal won every game in that series.
It was the same story for both teams. Tampa was 16-2 when scoring first and we were 12-2. Tampa haven't won a single game in the playoffs last year when they didn't score first. They are very good at shutting it down, and we're not very good at scoring when the other team shut it down, we're not alone there as both team records show.
