    One of the crazier games in a while.

    lightning give up two goals on the first three shots, and still win. About half the goals were fluky.
    Got shafted on the penalty at the end of regulation and eventually had to kill off a 4 on 3, then got a break on a call and buried it.

    Good break on paying off the makeup call for that ridiculous embellishment penalty.

    I actually think it was a penalty. Benn's stick tripped Tyler. He didn't kick him, but he grabbed and tangled his leg. Keith Jones pointed it out well in the post game.

    Yeah I think it could have been a holding penalty. Definitely wasn’t the slew foot the ref called though.

    Agree Ben. Holding Penalty with a stick in the legs to take his feet.

    I love how Phil called out Shatty for not shooting a couple minutes prior.
    Phil is a national treasure. He is so grumpy and aggravated when guys do something dumb I love him.:D

    This. This. .... and THIS!
    So glad my son has a flag football game and the Gators are playing to keep my mind off it AND we don't have to wait 48 hours.
    The Gators have spoiled us with titles over the years, but for fans of Tampa teams this is a very special and rare event we may get to witness.

    Then...fingers crossed...the Rays might give us a fun few weeks too.

    OT NHL playoff hockey is insane. OT NHL Stanley Cup Finals hockey is soul crushing.

    I go back to 2004's Lightning elimination game six double overtime win in Calgary. Calgary had a couple breakaways in OT.

    I can't really explain the extreme anxiety on the first breakaway. I almost got sick... I barley watched the rest of it, just listened to it... I can clearly remember the scream- "St Louis!!!!"

    So, no more OT hockey, guys. Just curb stomp them from the start and win this tonight!
