Caps Playing With House Money; Lightning Looking To Cash In On It

May 10th, 2018
Kind of amazing to think a series featuring two goaltenders with near identical save percentages of .927 and .924 in these Stanley Cup Playoffs is going to produce so much offense, but that’s sure what the Eastern Conference Finals look like. There’s just so much offensive talent and production out there on the ice for these two teams, that it is hard to see any game finishing 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 or similar.
.
Both teams are hot, productive offensively and coming off series wins that have them thinking they can beat anybody in their way to the Cup. Todd takes a look at where both teams are similar and different in this edition of the Todd Wright Lightning Playoff Podcast, sponsored by Brandon Legal Group.
