Not as hard to choke this loss down as some of the previous ones. Given that the Oilers are down a couple of pretty important players and that Tampa is probably the best team in the NHL right now. I thought the Oilers had a really good first and not only because Koski was outstanding, the team was playing hard and did a lot of good things, but they gradually started exploiting our weaknesses which became more apparent as the game went on. Oilers hung in there to make it respectable but not much puck luck and too many mistakes.( I don't want to pick on Looch but he was god awful.) They picked our D apart more as the game went on and showed why they're a top team. Conner was great as usual. The End.

The Lightning aren't probably the best team in the league. They are undoubtedly the best team in the league. Assuming the Leafs beat Detroit today the Lightning head into the Christmas break six points better than any other team in the league. Only twice in the past 30 years has the best team in the league been better than that at the Christmas break, i.e. had more than a six point lead over the second best team in the league.
In 2006-07 Anaheim was on their way to their only Cup. F U Chris Pronger.
In 2001-02 Detroit had a dominant team on their way to win the Cup. Hasek, Lidstrom, Chelios, Shanahan, Hull, Robitaille, Yzerman and Fedorov. Eight hall of famers. What a stacked roster.
So yeah, playing equal with a dominant team up to five minutes left in the game ain't all that bad.

Not a lot of weaknesses in their line up. What I like about Hitchcock is he will take the positives from the game and build on those instead of casting blame on certain players the way Mclellan use to. JP will continue to get better if he keeps playing him where he can get his confidence to a higher level and JJ was missed for what he brings. The defence is the biggest sore spot. The only way to make up the shortage right now is to play better team defence. You can't say for sure but I get the feeling it wouldn't have been close with Talbot in the net.
