Florida Panthers dig deep hole down 2-0 heading to Tampa (Florida Hockey Now)

Ross colton scored with 3.8 seconds left to lead the tampa bay lightning over the florida panthers in game 2 on may 19, 2022 in sunrise.

Then we threw it away again, lost a battle, and were chasing behind the net. That lead to the benching of Sergei Bobrovsky in Game 2 where Chris Driedger allowed three goals on 29 shots in a 3-1 loss. They weren’t forcing us, really, and we threw it away. Washington 4-2; Tampa Bay d. We’re getting a little stubborn at times and when you get out of sync with these kinds of things, it’s hard to get your mojo back. - Round 1: Florida d. We had the puck behind our net and were fine. I thought we’re in a great position,’’ Brunette said. “We controlled the puck with 20 seconds left and just didn’t manage it. When you have it, you have to keep it so we don’t have to be able to find it. I thought it was better. I liked the urgency, thought we had some looks.

We can make a difference in the future, not in the past. Once I saw the puck behind the net, I just went to the front of the net,” Colton said. The first such day was Tuesday. “This is a good challenge for us. We’re here to win a series.” “I was kind of trying to sit back and let the plays come to us. Colton said he was just trying not to get scored on in the final minute. “It was quiet, but all the guys are pros. They understand that the next game is big. “The sun will come up, and we will wake up, and we need to keep playing like we’re playing.” “We’re two games closer to where we want to be, but we’re not there yet,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. He gift-wrapped it for me,” Colton continued.

The Cats finally got one to go with 1:53 left in the second. He posted his fourth win in a row and finished with 35 saves, Corey Perry deflected Steven Stamkos’ pass by a Sergei Bobrovsky with the second assist going to Victor Hedman. The goal came thirty-seven seconds after Brandon Montour went off for hooking. Last-second, fatal mistake aside, the Panthers are matching Tampa Bay’s defensive game 5-on-5, proving that they can play low-scoring playoff hockey. The Panthers had two power play chances in the third, one early, one late, and failed to convert on either. A complete failure by both the players and the coaching staff.

"I knew there was less than a minute left, so I was trying to end the game and not get scored on," Colton told reporters. Lightning right wing Corey Perry beat Bobrovsky for the first score of the night 12:06 into the game.

If there is any team that can turn the series around on a dime, it’s the Panthers. They’ve spent all season coming back from deficits, there is no reason to think, given half a chance, they couldn’t do the same thing in this series. The Battle of Alberta was number one. For the Lightning, they have to keep their foot on the gas. That task will be much more difficult against the Lightning. After a bit of a rough start to the series against Washington they bounced back to win the final three games. In Game One, the Tampa Bay Lightning established their will with their special teams prowess.

Lightning sacrifice their bodies to find a way through Game 2 battle ... (Tampa Bay Times)

With two days off, Tampa Bay will have time to rest before Sunday's Game 3 at Amalie Arena.

The Lightning registered 24 blocked shots on Florida in Thursday’s win, with Cernak blocking a game-high four and McDonagh blocking three. On Thursday, Perry fired off a shot during warm-ups that ricocheted off the crossbar and hit him in the head, resulting in stitches near his right eye. During Game 1, Cernak missed the entire third period after blocking a Montour shot late in the second. The Lightning tunnel was the NHL’s version of a fashion runway — as one player went down, another came back up. He blocked the shot after the Panthers won the face-off and was slow to get up. When he finally got back on his skates, he hobbled to the bench with a helpful push from Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh.

For more than 59 minutes Thursday, the Florida Panthers felt like they were going to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning or, at least, they were playing enough of ...

We have a belief that we can do it and the other part of it is I really liked our game,” Brunette said. The Panthers gifted the Lightning a pair of games and there was no bigger gift than the one they gave at the end of Game 2. The Panthers knew the margin for error was going to be slim, and they leave South Florida for Tampa feeling like they let two winnable games slip away. In Round 2, Florida is less than two shots and scoring chances off its regular-season 60-minute average. The Panthers committed a giveaway with about 15 seconds left, lost track of Nikita Kucherov behind the net and made “a fatal mistake,” as interim coach Andrew Brunette put it, when defensemen MacKenzie Weegar and Gustav Forsling both followed to the star right wing to make up for their lapse. “Unfortunately, that was the difference.”

Mishkin's Extra Shift: Lightning 2, Panthers 1 - Game 2 (Official site of the Tampa Bay Lightning)

Radio broadcaster Dave Mishkin recaps Tampa Bay's Game 2 win over Florida.

But the Lightning got through the kill, setting the stage for the Kucherov/Colton heroics. The Lightning dictated play through the end of the period, but the Panthers regrouped during the intermission. They posted six of the frame's first seven shots (the lone SOG from the Lightning was a shorthanded clear from Nick Paul that ended up going on net). Vasilevskiy made key saves on chances for Duclair and Bennett (twice), keeping the game tied at one. So the game remained tied at one as the Panthers went on that late power play. It was a gutsy win for the Lightning, who blocked 24 shots (painfully so, in several instances). They navigated their way through Florida's surges. There were two segments in which the Panthers applied heavy pressure and put the Lightning back on their heels: the start of the first period and later, the end of the second period (after Eetu Luostarinen had tied the game) into the beginning of the third. Vasilevskiy got a piece of the shot, but couldn't stop it completely. The Panthers fed off that energy and dominated the early minutes. The Colton goal was the game-winner, of course, and ultimately decided the outcome of Game Two. But there were plenty of key moments in the first 59 minutes and 56 seconds. It was an incredible pass from Kucherov and a decisive finish from Colton, who snapped a one-timer into the top of the net. Looking for immediate energy, the Panthers started the game with their fourth line, which had several big checks on the opening shift. Lightning players prevented the Panthers from gaining clean possession and clearing the puck.

“Attempts to attract mom with her kitten’s scent failed and biologists pulling an all-nighter with the kitten in a cage in front of a live stream camera produced nothing, so we feared hope was lost,” FWC officials wrote. There are approximately 120 to 230 adult panthers in the state. The adult female heard the kitten meowing, and the pair were reunited, the FWC said.
