Steven Stamkos speaks with media following OT win vs Bruins When you ask captain Steven Stamkos where the positive changes have been coming from this past week, he’ll tell you it’s a combination of good execution and having the right mindset going into games. He’s been drilling it into the team that they have the talent it takes to win big games. He spoke with the media following their first overtime win of the season. “When we play some good teams, it seems like we're up for it. In other games, we just make mistakes, and it snowballs. So if we don't shoot ourselves in the foot, we have a chance to win," said Stamkos "And that was kind of the message this morning is, listen, that's a really good team over there. They have a great record but we have a good team too. We don't have the same record because we played a little reckless at times." It was well known that prior to Monday night, the Lightning have had overtime woes, struggling to get possession of the puck from the start. When Stamkos won the opening faceoff in overtime, the crowd screamed in unison and Stamkos heard it while he was on the ice. “It’s nice to get out there and win a couple draws. The crowd let us know about it too.”
