TB needs to come out and win this game 4-2 if they want a chance in this series.

Tough to win a game 4-2 if neither team scores in the next few minutes

Haha very true. I moreso meant they had to come out with some goals....so scoring 30 seconds into the 3rd definitely counts.

I missed the OT prediction so I'll say it here.

Texier and Sergachev.

Healthy and playing like a horse? Or is he playing limited minutes and hanging out on power play?

He looks like he just got hurt again about halfway through the second OT.

Through two overtimes, every player on Tampa has at least one shot.

Only two players on Columbus do not have a shot: Wennberg and Atkinson.

That's pretty surprising all in all. I guess everyone is just trying to put the puck on net. I guess Wennberg almost never shoots, but Atkinson not having one is the weirdest part of that stat I think.

[newfcollins]

Robinson has played just 12:28 for Tampa. Has three shots.

I get surprised shot totals aren't higher. I know guys are tired, but I always figure they would shoot from just anywhere the longer the game goes. Increases the chances of a netminder flub, tip-in, bad bounce, etc.

So much for cutting the grass today. I still need to go get some beer for tonight’s games.

[newfcollins]

I wonder how late they will let Boston-Carolina start.

[hockeyrobot]

Imagine the first game of the playoffs with fans went to triple OT. Automatic classic.

[hockeyrobot]

Ryan..... McDonagh. Shoot the damn puck.

[Daydream Nation]

Kucherov twice with late jabs drawing the ire of the Jackets. Is he a sneaky dirty player? I don’t watch Tampa that often.

[PenguinHunter]

Ryan..... McDonagh. Shoot the damn puck.

agree! But if he shot it... we wouldn’t get quadruple OT!!!

[The Comish]

I just got home from work, then food shopping...and I catch the end of the third OT!!?? Wow! Guess I missed the OT challenge, lol!

These guys legs must be like cement right now. Two games back to back on the first night lol. Six + periods. Crazy.
