If you haven’t had a chance to check out the Lightning power play in action yet, I can’t recommend it enough. They’re pushing the envelope by trying things like using four forwards on four-on-three power plays in overtime, and they’re giving their star players creative license to flex their offensive muscles.

After enough sleepless nights spent in the video room dissecting their film and strategizing, coaches around the league will eventually formulate a creative adjustment of their own to throw a roadblock up on Tampa. That’s the nature of the NHL.

They better come up with a solution soon. Right now other teams are being forced to play checkers while Kucherov, Stamkos, and the Lightning play chess.
