Lightning play down to their opposition and get burned.
MTL-5
TB-4 (SO)
Brian Elliott allowed four goals on 31 shots before allowing one of three to convert in the penalty shot session for the SO loss. His club played stupid in front of him. Not his fault.

MTL- Suzuki
TB- NONE
Nikita Kucherov was the game’s second star.
Marty’s got that Montreal team playing hard, but they play dumb as a box of rocks. Inexplicably, the Lightning decided to play pond hockey and stooped down to Montreal’s level. Let the Canadiens hang around. Got burned. Cooper’s gonna light them on fire, and they deserve it.
