The good news? It was Game One and this is a seven-game series. And that’s honestly where the good news ends.

In this edition of the Lightning Playoff Podcast, Todd takes a simple look at the Lightning’s recent patterns of poor play and how it must change for the Lightning to continue advancing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Todd Wright isn’t just the fantasy football podcast guru and golf chief around here. The longtime national and local sports radio personality has loads of knowledge about the Tampa Bay Lightning. So launching the Todd Wright Lightning Playoff Podcast was a no-brainer.

The podcast will run through the Bolts’ exciting playoff run right here. Todd has media credentials for home games and will provide plenty of fresh insight.

(Also, the JoeBoltsFan podcast with Tom Lang has been a big hit every Friday.)
