@WeTheThunderPod We did but not nearly enough. Also doing a really bad job of forcing Dobes to move laterally. Lots of nothing shots into the crest. Credit to Montreal for limiting high danger but also on us
This organization deserves every ounce of karmic hell they received from doing what was done to Steven Stamkos. Guentzel has been great but Stammer was the heartbeat of this team.
Andrei Vasilevskiy on blocking out the noise before overtime of Game 6 against the Montreal Canadiens:
“To be honest, I didn’t hear [what was said in the locker room before OT], I was kind of one-on-one with my thoughts. It’s the same as the crowd here, I don’t hear anything. Same in the locker room, I don’t really listen to anything. Seriously, I have too much going on in my head to listen… It comes with experience, obviously. I mean, sometimes I’m losing it for sure during the season. I’m a human too, but if I do, I do that in the locker room by myself.” #GoBolts
No matter how this game ends, the Lightning deserve credit for how they responded after whatever game 5 was. It’s just a shame it took facing elimination to get this version of them.
