Since the commentator took his opinion in why the home team isn't playing so well and mentioned being with family, I will give my own.
At home, you have last line change and are worried about match-ups and trying to stop the line you are designated to match up against.
On the road, you are just focused on trying to beat whoever is matched up against you.
I need to call my co-worker and see if she is wants to go to game 6.
No way in hell am I driving back after that game but can't spend the night in Tampa again.
Sad period...they lost any focus they had after giving up 2 quick ones. The sad part is...they were the better team in the first. We had more shots, more hits, better FO%, more opportunities, the PP looked good, hit a few posts, but clearly not getting any goals from that got into their heads. Something about playing at home these playoffs is just killing teams. Oh well, get it in Tampa, don't let this go any longer.
Sorry, but I have to laugh at the announcers. They were commenting on the Lightning delaying behind the net, saying they might wait there for 2 minutes and laughing at them. Then they complete a change go down and score.
