Bolts started the game really well and then after the hit on Condra the rest of the 1st they played soft. The 2nd was even but the Lightning still couldn't find their game. In the 3rd the Lightning played probably the best period all season and could of easily tied the game if not won the game if it wasn't for Griess who made some really good saves in the 3rd. The fact is if the Lightning took their chances they would be 1-0 up in the series even despite the unusual bad goaltending they got last night.
Would've been nice to see a Steven Stamkos vs John Tavares matchup this series, that would rival Sid vs OV.
Tough break for the Lighting last night, every goalie is entitled an off night I suppose. I fully expect Bishop to bounce back in game 2. Was really impressed with Thomas Greiss last night, he definitely upped his game since he was our backup last year.
