    First period in the books and you never knew Rick Nash was on the ice.

    Sheppard just got interfered with there. These refs are fucking blind. They are legit letting TB hit guys not involved in the play, totally interfering with them and not calling a goddamn thing. It's fucking ridiculous. That last break just happened because Sheppard got cross checked by the circles, NOT EVEN NEAR THE PUCK and TB broke out right where he got hit from. Fucking inexcusable at this point that the refs aren't calling these interferences. I don't care if they call it on the Rangers too, but fucking do your god damn jobs and call the penalties, especially when they keep leading to TB breakouts. --Rant over--

    Enjoyable first period. A bit chippy, good tempo, back and forth.. The way hockey should be.

    Great playoff hockey. A little too much back and forth for my liking though...They are just as fast as the Rangers and it's going to be tiring trying to keep up with them. Rebound control has to be a focus for the rest of the game. Leaving too many in front of the net. The Lightning will start planting guys 8 feet out to take advantage.

    They need 2 more goals in this one.

    Still annoyed at what Hank did on that Tampa goal. Weakly swiping it right onto the stick of Stamkos is just ridiculous.

    Yea. We're definitely not winning 2-1. We need to finish our chances. We're gonna have them, we just gotta put the puck in the net.

    If you watch, McD also stopped skating instead of staying with Stamkos. Just a bad play all around there. Boyle, Hank and McD all had bad plays that directly led to that goal.

    Mcd needs to pick up. He has been bad in this game. Too many gift goals given up the last two games. Hank needs to freeze the puck. He is terrible at handling the puck, it's mind boggling.

    They may have another breakaway chance or two again in this type of game

    i can't get a clear view on the replay. It looks like Brassard got his stick in and deflected the shot then the puck went off Nash (or whoever was back checking) and into Stamko's stick.

    Agree, Greyv.....i enjoy this type of hockey with a little chippiness to it. Some here prefer ballerina hockey but i enjoy when there's a little stick work and chippiness on the ice.

    Yeah doesn't look good for Mcd in that he ran his mouth about game two and then game out and played a bad first period in game three.

    no, hank passed it back to Stamkos for some reason instead of freezing the puck.

    It's so funny watching their PP and then ours. They have guys constantly moving. We have guys standing in one spot waiting.
