Lightning gain 'experience behind the wheel'
/Lightning coach Jon Cooper, via The Tampa Bay Times, explains the importance of his team gaining playoff experience.
"You need to be in these situations to understand the atmosphere, to understand the magnitude of every play," Cooper said.
"I compare it to getting your driver's license. You write your license (exam) and you get an 'A' and you're, like, 'This is awesome. I'm going to jump behind the wheel of a car.' But unless you drive it, you're not really a good driver. You may have passed the test, but you need the experience behind the wheel. It's kind of what's gone on here."
