A much improved team

[Count Cane]

This Tampa Bay team has made some major improvements and is off to a great start at 4-4-1. If they can protect home ice and beat up on some of the Southeast teams, they may just stay in the playoff picture awhile. Anything is possible.

I expect in the next month or two reality will set in. There's a lot of teams that are playing below their expectations as they feel out new teammates.

Then again anything can happen, even for the Tampa Bay Lightning. ;)

The Lightning get their 15th win tonight and are still hanging around.
