Michael Stuart: Price Steals Show in Lightning's 2-1 Shootout Win

habs had no excuse to play that poorly in a game against a tired and travel weary Lightning team, who just lost their best player less than 24 hours before.
Price played amazing, otherwise it would have been a blowout. Desharnais is probably the highest paid healthy scratch in the entire league

Don't forget Bishop!

He seems to be at the top of game when he face the habs...

But a terrible performance overall by the offense

bishop was the last thing we needed to finish are rebuild project!

The no goal call was poop. I saw on the Lightning post game the NHL sent a press release stating a rule that says if a goal is scored but the REF thinks the goalie was interfered it is a no goal at the discretion of the referee and cannot be overturned. What a joke make the damn REF accountable.

With that said the Bolts won, played hard, fast, and together. 45 shots wow if they keep that up the pucks will start going in. Its a long road to haul but I think this team has what it takes to be in playoff contention in March after the Olympic break.

Lastly, if Bishop continues to be a wall it will only be easier going forward.

you must be talking about the oilers ? lol

Love Stamkos, but he is NOT the only good player on the Bolts. Been saying this since the offseason.

The amount of young talent on the Bolts is embarrassing. If it wasn't for Price, that would have easily been 4-1.

That being said, wow... I always forget how good Price really is until we play him. What a goaltender. Montreal, if it weren't for Bishop, I'd be green with envy.

... with Bishop... we're good

yes you look at the oilers they have fire power but they don't have a price or a bishop. every nhl team has talent but you need a good goalie to bail you out of many games. Price did that and at least got the habs a point.

To be fair, the Oilers are missing a Hedman and a Gudas too.

And a Killorn.... (For all the amazing offensive talent Edm. has, they lack two-way swagger)

Justin Schultz ? but he is hurt right now

I'd take Hedman or Gudas over Shultz 8 days a week.

Good effort by the Bolts! I was really pleased with our offensive pressure. At times we faltered and that's ok, you really can't expect to dominate a team for the entire game.

Bish was awesome and he has certainly come a long way in a short amount of time.

Gudas had a good goal, so we should not have even gone to OT, but whatev.

If MSL can step up a little more, this team is gonna continue to be constantly successful.

Bring on the Ducks.

GO BOLTS!

we played a convincing game against the Canadiens. for continued success, we need to get that effort game in and game out to replace Stamkos.

5 games against 4 good teams 4 on the road and a back to back. Interesting 10 days coming up. 5 points out of them would be a success right now.

Without Stamkos, Ben Bishop is our Only hope. Our success rest on his shoulders. With him we have a chance, without him.... We're the Panthers

One of the worse comments you have ever made. Hope that was tongue in cheek, otherwise totally uncalled for.

That's one game, but was have 64 more to go. Let me know when you've pulled you're head out of your anal cavity and realize that one game doesn't a change a (frank)ig thing. Just ask Cooper.

(frank) people, look at the big picture, the past and the future, what the (frank) have we needed? Don't bother answering I can see the dumbass expressions on your faces already.
