Cooper is going to burn the tapes from Game 2, but burning the tapes isn't going to do the Lightning any good if they can't find a way to play at altitude. Because there was absolutely nothing the Lightning did right on Saturday. Captain Steven Stamkos had a similar sentiment about the game.
Stamkos agreed that game was terrible on all fronts. But the Lightning have been bad on the road all playoffs long. They also went down 2-0 to the New York Rangers. You're never truly out of the series until you lose a game at home. Game 3 can only be more competitive than Game 2 was.
