Hard hitting and being heady
The Forum has filled up and the crowd likes the physical play that the Lightning is showing in these opening minutes as Tampa Bat has taken a 1-0 lead on Vinny Lecavalier's fourth goal of the playoffs. There were two scrums early on and Tampa Bay's done a good job of forechecking -- especially the line of Tim Taylor, Andre Roy and Andreas Karlsson. They still need to temper it. Roy was called for a silly interference call that eventually backed the Lightning into a 5-on-3. Those are some of the things we expected to see as the Lightning tries to keep and even head while feeding off the home crowd.
