I guess I have to ask why the Lightning have been so bad at home in the past three playoffs, losing 8 of 9 games at Amalie Arena. Part of me believes that players don't really think about it too much, but part of me also believes it's in their head a little. #GoBolts

If the Lightning can extend this series, we might look back on Vasilevskiy's effort on that Panthers power play. #GoBolts #TimetoHunt
