It’s usually nothing drastic, but small little fissures that appear and keep a team from winning. From an overall perspective, the Lightning played fairly well in their 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night, but one moment, one little error in judgement, led to the game-deciding goal. The Bolts had the lead ea...
