The longer it goes scoreless, the more pressure is in TBL, IMO. But we're gonna need more than 3 shots.

First blood - shorty by Yanni Gourde

Royal Flush
Shorty? Wait. The Lightning took a penalty?! Weird. So uncharacteristic.
Seriously, tho, how do three guys follow the puck into the corner?! Three! Is this Mite hockey?!

Should be good third period. Over looks bad, bolts look good, but I’m buying me some NYI at +340 live

Pure excitement. 2 teams giving it all they had. Fans for both teams should be proud.

I mean it is cool that two east coast teams are playing for the finals so no late start games for us on the east coast.

Awesome game - amazing energy in the building - Yanni freaking Gourde - bring on the Habs - GO BOLTS !!

Like 5 guys on the ice (not counting the two standing by the bench) when you're supposed to be short-handed?
There weren't many replays from this angle (took me awhile to find one), and the one I saw gets super fuzzy (on my phone) when you try to pause it, but the Lightning still had 5 on the ice when Gourde touches the puck.
Nevertheless, I don't think the Islanders played poorly, but Tampa's D was smothering, thus the low shot total. Even given all that, we got our chances in the 3rd and til the end, I felt like the Islanders could pull off a miracle.
I know the Habs are feeling good right now, but I don't see them beating the Lightning in the SCF. They're too deep. The only chance they have is if Price continues to be extremely stingy. Not saying it can't happen, but I'd be surprised.

If I recall, the guy on the Marathon logo was also getting off the ice. He returned to the bench and was sitting down as the goal went in. In the replay, he is the last one to cheer, as he wasn't even looking.

Do you get access to away games?

So, if you need those last two games, Carey Price probably wins the Conn Smythe...
Ice conditions in Florida in July have to be sub-optimal.

Depends on who wins the series - the Conn Smythe rarely goes to the losing team. If the Lightning win, it's either Point or Vasilevskiy. If Montreal, then likely Price.
The ice is great here - we have a great ice crew and major building dehumidifiers.

If the Conn Smythe goes to the losing team, it goes to the goalie... And I'd say Point or Kucherov if the Lightning win it.
Let me know if there's a need for a designated or nominated driver.

Isles had their chances to tie the game. Very exciting third period
WedgeRock
Royal Flush
But it's not when the goal goes in... It's when the man coming on the ice touches the puck.
Very difficult to see in real time (IMO), the Lightning were the better team, overall and I'm Game 7. Just sucks to lose like that.
Is Vasy touching the trophy? Did he do that last time?
OP
OP
The game wasn't decided by poor officiating - those players were involved in a line change and were well behind the play. They had no influence on the goal.
OP

Yes, they all touched the trophy last time and this time too. They are not superstitious, just a little "stitious"
