Michael Stuart: Lightning Power Play Clicks, Propels Team to Game Two Victory

Solid win, three more to go. Nice to see Cooper make adjustments to the lineup, dropping Bogosian and Schenn.

Ruutta showed he was not in sync and almost caused an early goal. Bogo and Schenn hurt? I did not think they were that bad? Bogo has been surprisingly good at times.
Yeah, and nice to a better PP!

I think Bogo was a healthy scratch for Ruuta, and I think Schenn might be banged up a little bit. Hopeful for a stammer return tomorrow night!!

Bogo was rightly benched just for that mind-boggling stupid idea of leaving the front of the net to fight someone and then having them score from the exact spot where he should've been.

If that was Tampa’s best shot, Dallas takes this in 6. As far as borderline antics go, all I noticed was your superstar burying his face in his gloves and peeking through to see if the ref felt sorry for him and called a penalty.Taking that hit used to be called Hockey. Now, I have no clue.

Dallas has not seen the lightning's best shot. And they never will as long as they're without Stamkos. Dallas should be concerned the series is tied at 1 despite the way Tampa has played, which has been very sub par outside of 2 out of the 6 periods played.

the leading playoff point scorer will take ANOTHER multi point game along with the win and move on. You should do the same.

I guess I can throw in the 3rd period of game 2 in there as well..that was a pretty good effort playing with the lead trying to close out the game.

Boo hoo, just like you said the series is tied. Tampa should be worried not Dallas. I’ll move on when I feel like sister. So as long as you are without Stamkos, I guess that’s your best shot.

Also the real reason “the way Tampon has played” is because of the team there facing.

Look at the poor Philly fans with the classy input. Somethings never change.

Unrelated story - in my teens, I spray painted an "X" on the end of a "Welcome to Tampa" sign.

It wasn't a billboard unfortunately, but it was a large sign sitting on the side of a very busy road. It was impossible to miss. Weirdly, it stayed there a lot longer than I thought it would. It was there for a few weeks before it was repaired (not replaced). You could still see where the X had been for a few years after that, before the sign was eventually replaced.

anyone else think we see stammer tonight?? I'm hoping! but wouldn't be surprised we never see him again until next season starts

just read that he was not with the extra skaters at practice today! a good sign we may possibly see him tonight... or they're just trying to keep everyone on their toes including dallas

I live near a town called Stone Harbor. The letter D always appeared at the end of Stone. This went on for decades.

That would be a pleasant surprise. I have my fingers crossed, but also not counting on it.

A sign like that is begging for the D. LOL.

Stammer is in . Wonder who Cooper will play him with.

If you're Dallas, that is the last guy you want to give a breakaway to.
