from Erik Erlendsson of Bolts Report,
“I’m proud of this team. The last three or four weeks, this team has faced a lot of adversity and they passed the test. They’ve done a great job,’’ Lightning interim coach Rick Tocchet said.
Not sure what it’s going to mean once games resume as any talk of getting into a playoff race still must be tempered, even with 19 of the final 35 games at home and Tampa Bay nine points out of the No. 8 spot right now. But you have to admit, being tied for 11th place and to be within single digits of a playoff spot is a long way removed from where this team was sitting around Thanksgiving, eh?
Do they have enough to even think of the playoffs? Should that topic even be broached?
