TB won a ton of face offs and had great sticks...plus one of the best tip ins ever. Crawford with the big break away save and then Teuvo takes over. I really don't see how TB wins 4 out of 6

I'd retweet all of the chest thumping and cock slinging from when the Rangers dribbled a lucky bounce to win game 1 from the last series...but why bother. You clearly have your hands full boys. You get schooled in game 2, then swept in Sh1t-own....err...Chi-town...my bad

Lucky goal?...you had a great push in the first but not much after that. No chest bumping, but TB threw it all in and then became a turtle. I'M sorry......you really think you can win 4 out of 6 against these guys?

I was referring to the lucky goal that dribbled in to put the Rangers up 1 game to none in the last series....from the posts here, you'd have thought they were already wheeling out the Stanley Cup for them.

As far as last night - Tampa owned Chicago for the first 12 minutes, then inexplicably went into some sort of a defensive mode which took them completely out of their game. Did Cooper really think that 1 goal was going to hold up?!

I can't explain it...just like I can't explain why Bishop stood halfway between the net and the bench for a full minute and a half, when the Lightning were already controlling the puck in Chicago's zone, before heading off.

They had control of the zone and were down a goal with 3 minutes left, you need to give your team a chance...Was he really that afraid of losing 3-1 instead of 2-1 ?

Strangest game I've seen them play all year by miles....

I think Game 2 will be much more of an even, up and down the ice game. TB won't dominate the first period this time, but I don't think they will play afraid in the third either. But they need to get their big boys going or start shaking lines up a bit..well..just because you need to once in a while.

Hawks looked tired early ( and TB was on fire ) so not sure if Q will keep Towes and Kane split or start them like last night. I'm thinking they stay split, at least for a while.

Agree Bob. I think Brenden Morrow said it best in the paper this morning:

>>>"There's a fine line between respect and fear," veteran wing Brenden Morrow said. "Give (the Blackhawks) respect. Can't fear them. It looked like in the third we were holding on, (we) feared maybe what might happen.

"We learned our lesson here."<<<

Look for a completely different Lightning team Saturday.

its a matter of talent..you can change any attitude you wish..the hawks played your team just as they wanted..let them burn out..and we take over..if you look at game 7 they took the game over from the puck drop and drove the ducks in the ground.. wishfull thinking rude..

Is that quote gonna get Morrow and the rest of the bottom six to stop sucking so hard? Or get any D-man other than Hedman to be an impact player? Spinning a cliche postgame quote into the reason Tampa is suddenly gonna turn into something they're not is a pretty funny brand of self-delusion.

If someone was just shown stats, theyd be forgiven for assuming tam won. Led in faceoffs, shots, hits....but to no avail. Nice won by chi, who kept grinding.
