WiFi was out on my flight so I missed the entire 2nd period and most of the 3rd. Came back to a 3-1 Lightning lead followed by two empty netters. Bolts win 5-1, lead series 3-0.

Bolts score 4 goals ( 2 disallowed :mad: ) to defeat the Stinkin’ Panthers 2-0 and SWEEP the series 4-0. Time to rest and heal for the Eastern Conference Final.

Quite a game. I'm worried they are going to have to have more offensive production. Down 4:1 on shots at one point... ends down 2:1. Vasy's amazing, but I hope they don't continue to rely on him that much.
 
Vasey played stellar. What's going on with Pointe, what's his injury? I remember it was a leg but is he done for the playoffs? Sweeping will be really beneficial in possibly getting him back, if he's able.

Lower body injury :unsure: looked like a knee or high ankle sprain when it happened. Hopefully he will be back for the conference finals.
 
From the other side you can see Makar doesn’t touch the puck until Nic is back onside. Sucks for my pick but the correct call.
I've seen this called the opposite way during the season, claiming the player had possession because he was in control of the puck. They're definitely not consistent with this. I hate the offside challenge to begin with.
 
I get the sense this isn't going 7 one way or another. If Tampa takes this it'll be over quickly. The Rangers will never make it easy though.

The longer the series goes, the better chance the Rangers have, I think. They play their best game with their backs against the wall. I was feeling confident before Pittsburgh but honestly thought they'd get waxed by Carolina. I was way more impressed by Pittsburgh than Carolina though. As those series have shown, regular season play means nothing, and I just hope the Rangers don't go into this overconfident. Tampa are back in the ECF and won back to back Cups for a good reason.

Good luck and may the best team win.
