Joey, I'm not going to try and quantify this because it's senseless. The Lightning have had plenty of opportunity and the same goes for the Rangers. It's the two best teams in the East, for crying out loud.

What cannot be skewed, massaged or polished, is the fact that your goalie has given up 22 goals in 5 games to the Lightning this season. In contrast, Bishop has surrendered 11 in those same 5 games.

When your goalie is averaging giving up 4.4 goals a game, you need to score more than 2 goals to be in the discussion, no matter how pretty you want to believe your team is playing.
