[drum roll] [buzz] So Kevin, we talked about this briefly over the last few days.
The Nashville Predators were the opponent in the opener, and now they're the opponent again, just 48 hours later.
What's the biggest storyline here?
[buzz] It's the adjustment period.
Yesterday, Tampa won 2-1.
They showed they can compete.
They know exactly how Jon Carlson plays defensively.
That's the challenge.

If Tampa controls the entry, they win.
[ding]

It's all about zone entries.
