I view the Tampa and Pittsburgh situations separately.
Watching Pittsburgh, I think they are toast. The Isles are outworking them in every facet of the game - winning every race to loose pucks, every board battle, every battle for position. The Penguins look slow and tired, and they aren’t generating any sort of quality chances. I think that series goes to the Islanders.
The Lightning is a bit different. They are still showing the speed and skill that could take over a series, but - IMO - they are trying to be too cute, trying to make the perfect play to score. They need to take a page out of Winnipeg’s playbook and just throw everything at the net and jam for it. Even then, though, 3-0 is a big hole to be in, especially with Columbus clicking the way they are.
Greatly enjoyed watching the Golden Knights take the Sharks apart last night. I think Thornton gets a slap on the wrist from the league, but what a game from Stone. Hopefully Vegas can keep it up.
Also good to see Winnipeg bounce back against St. Louis. Hopefully they can win game 4 to even the series.
