Florida's goalie deserves much kudos, Brobrovsky was unfortunately great.
Well..... another terrible playoff OT for Lightning and everyone forgot they could skate. Was wondering if quicker Lightning might be better for playoff OT Hockey, but no dice. Lightning looked afraid and tentative like they did during 1st period. Plus, some players just had off nights, but Vasy did what he could during bad spells. The terrible D breakdowns were to much, even for Vasy. Lightning also lost those upfront battles, can't expect to play that way and win!
Even though a series is not over until someone loses at home, believe Lightning sure made thing very difficult now. This version of Lightning will have difficult time winning of 4 of 5 in any playoff series, alone this one! This newer Lightning bunch needed playoff success so they'd get confidence, but just couldn't do enough. When opportunities presented themselves, they didn't take full advantage. Worse for team was that wasted 4:00 PP, and this was "The Swing Moment" in game. Last game "The Swing Moment" was giving up early PP goal in 3rd. Causing Lightning to go down 1-2 (Even though bogus call, champs win moments like that). Lightning have lost both huge swing moments in games 1 & 2 games. Kinda ironic they both involved special teams, Lightning biggest strength. On to game 3...
I'll chime in when season is over about roster changes, this Lightning team is still in playoffs.
Go Lightning !!!!
