I know it's way early in the season, but these next 14 games(10 on-the-road) Will most likely play a crucial part with making the playoffs, and they need at least 10-14+ points these next 14 games. To stay within striking distance in the playoff hunt. Shoot, when considering those last 8 games in that 14 game stretch, maybe 10 points will do....LOL Will post results after this tough road run......

I like the Lightning's new Head Coach, Jon Cooper, a bunch
I sure hope this team can keep improving under his leadership. The defense still needs work, but so far it's an improvement from last season. The younger players are starting to come into their own, and I've been impressed with Valtteri Filppula too. He was a nice pick-up during the off-season. When you team is off with these 3 or 5 day breaks. It's tough after you get used the 1 or 2 day turnarounds, but the players/coaches need rest too.

We just love our Lightning Hockey
