Tampa Bay at Florida

The Tampa Bay Lightning did everything right last year during the regular season but imploded in a big way in the playoffs where they were utterly embarrassed 4-0 in the opening round. If any team is going to come out focused early in the season it is going to be the Lightning. Tampa Bay may have already shown some of that as they took out their in-state rival 5-2 at home with the return game on the road vs. the Panthers last night. I don't expect a letup here, just more pedal to the metal and another big win. Pay on Tampa Bay.
