As for the opening day of camp, Lightning head coach Jon Cooper was asked on one of those Zoom calls whether today's action was what he wanted to see from his team on the first day back from the pause.
"I'm not sure what I wanted it to be to be honest," Cooper answered. "But I know how I wanted to feel when I left, and I wanted to feel great and I did. That's a positive sign. I liked where the guys were at. I wasn't sure what my expectations were going to be, but it was all positive. Ultimately, I was really excited to be back, and I felt that vibe from the guys as well."
