I think we can still win this series. We have been better 5 on 5 but we have to slow down Tampa's pp.

We can, but it’s not just a 2 goal loss. The real issue is the Same Ugly Caps came back. . . again.
You know the “we can win on talent alone”, “we got this”, “a shift off won’t hurt” . . , the usual crap that has plagued this team forever.

We did have the the better if the play in this game but I agree that we took some shifts off. That and penalties killed us. Holtby didn't play great but he didn't cost us either. Except for that dumb penalty he took. That got the Lightning started

Caps just seemed slow all night and passing was terrible.

No. If we don't win 4 games we lose the series. Any win counts for 1 in the win column. It doesn't matter which game number it is. We need 4 wins. Period.
