Jeremy Laura: Detroit Red Wings can’t overcome quick strike by Lightning, streak broken

Whelp... that first period pretty much sunk us. That first goal they gave up by Lyon was painful to see. That soft goal on their first shot set the tone. You simply can't give up 4 goals in the first period to a team like Tampa and think you're going to come out on top. Oh well...

Also... sent a couple of PM's to you. Forgot I even had an inbox. LOL First time I've ever used it.

Just got them! Yeah, usually when Lyon gets equipment on the puck you’re good. That felt bad. I admire the 2nd period effort and love that the coach will attempt to turn things around. Won’t always work, but good to see him working. It’s a long time to think about this one. Players not in the 4 nations will likely flock to a sunny beach for a few days. I knew one player in 2010 who went to Jamaica to just get some vitamin D and it was players everywhere during the all star break.

I feared a game like this against Tampa today. Unfortunately I was right.

Rough first was just too much. Admire the 2nd effort but not good and a lot of time to think about it now.
