00:03 >> Casey Hudson was in the arena last night.
00:05 What arena was that?
00:06 Amelie Arena in Tampa for the lightning 6-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche.
00:11 What did you see from your perspective last night with your lightning?
00:15 >> My gosh, gentlemen, I'm so happy I didn't have to come on here and
00:18 talk about a loss, first of all.
00:21 What I loved was the tenacity of the Tampa Bay Lightning team and
00:24 plus their ability to make adjustments period by period.
00:27 They struggled with that during the season.
00:29 Middle of the ice was probably one of the Tampa Bay Lightning's weakest points.
00:32 And they show that they can contend with a team that's very strong in the middle
00:35 of the ice.
00:36 The abs do well with turnovers in the center and
00:38 the bolts just continued to be puck hounds and
00:41 make sure that they were owning possession.
00:43 They spread out the Avalanche's defense quite a bit.
00:45 They created time and space and
00:47 they were able to command most of that game, which was brilliant to see.
00:50 We've talked about the abs quite a bit here and
00:53 my biggest concern with them is their defense and their goal tending.
00:55 And we saw that exposed last night by a Tampa Bay Lightning team that
00:59 faces their own adversity.
01:00 So the abs are gonna have to step up defensively if they wanna get a good run
01:04 going here, but I'm very proud of what the Lightning did last night.
