"Or EPI, Use the symptom checker and identify epa dot com to start finding answers, Joe, We talked at the top of the broadcast about the lightning coming out, controlling their emotions and getting a good start. Do you think of the job? They don't have to get done it. Yeah, I do. Uh, you know again, The game is being called little closer than we see some of the other games, which is fine. I have no problem with that. The calls. They may have been the correct calls. So we've seen a little bit more special teams in this in this first period. High minor penalties in all of the first Montreal penalty killing is special, and they're just way they the way they fill the seams off is really something to to again. Tonight are the Canadians on Tampa Bay now. Two or 14 in this series, with the extra man playing the liking zone but chase down behind the net and nudged ahead by in. Ruda, who took one of those five minor penalties earlier in the period would like to get it into Montreal's salt and crushed ahead by Romanoff. He had a big goal in Game four, and it's pitchfork diagonally to the right corner. The Tampa Bay Zone by ol Armenia comes back around to him with a little help from Perry. But Armenia couldn't keep it in the zone. Now on the left side, Cat maroon, he had a goal in Game four as well Dump It in behind prices. The Lightning will turn and change. And the only true matchup we've seen in this first period has been the fourth line against the fourth line other that Cooper's just trying to roll everything. Evans chips it in for Montreal that the Canadians unable to recover possession, and that comes Steven Stamkos area pass off the boards to Ross Colton got to it at the bottom of the less circle and centered and coming back to fully knocked that out of harm's way. But in the corner stand post regains possession for Tampa Bay. He'll swing it around to the right point. Waiting. There is Turn it turn. It just keeps it on the kick plate behind the net again for samples had it knocked away by. Hopefully, good puck support. There's Cirelli keeps it alive. Colton gated back to the Tampa Bay Captain, and Stamkos finally has it dislodged Gallagher skates to center gets the red line chips it in and chases himself. Sirnak angles him off. Nice defensive play thereby turn act and Byron follows up on the porch. Yeah, Coleman had it knocked off his stick, but Sirnak follows up. And the Lightning throw it ahead to center. It will trickle into the Montreal zone kept out quickly by Shea Weber to know treated brutally at the blue line by McDonagh as he was knocked off, escape up to center right bouncing puck. Yanni Gord goes behind his back and finds Coleman in front. Just Miss Boudreau, who was driving to the net off the open, left wing elected and angles the puck back out center. I still no score under seven to go in the first period of Game five. Lightning and Canadians from Emily Arena down dollars, along with Joe Micheletti and the rest of our Sports USA crew so glad you could join us this evening, Anderson backhands it into the Tampa Bay zone and races in after the two goal game in Game four, including the overtime game winner. Caufield knocked off his skates with the puck to the slot picked up by Suzuki for Montreal. Back to the line, Surat with a shot past off the end boards came back to the right of Vasilevskiy. You stick it aside. Field behind the net written off the fucking Anderson tripped up on the back of the net as he couldn't get away from. Some are so point Curries the other way for the Bulls will backhand too deep into the Montreal zone. Efforts. Suzuki, who takes the hit but makes the play Sharon Rockets and a head room in the middle of the iced coffee across the line with Anderson, who pitched boards behind the net. McDonough there for the Lightning moves it quickly. The 11 year veteran Otto Wisconsin got it as far as the corner and Brayden point puts it back for turning turn it going to be flushed from behind his own net. Now lightning trying to finish changes so they'll get it deep. And they get it deep from the wrong side of the red lines, so that is icing. Ryan McDonagh, who has been on the ice for a long time trying to make a pass and was ready to make a change at the same time, but missed on the past and now has to stay on the ice here and sure knack of Had a long shift to say believe slight, slight advantage for Montreal as they get some fresh players on the ice stall out to take the face off a long time. Corn in the lightning side and from his years in Carolina in his career in the regular season stalled 75 points in 75 games against the light doesn't have a point. Yet, though, in this series and Certainly could use him to get hot. Armenia gets it back to the point long shot, looking at the far post for stall and very nearly got away from Vasilevskiy. That was Weber. We made the pass uplifted back and the Lightning's Joseph Matthews Joseph gets to It drops it back and Tyler Johnson coming in late off the glove of price and out of play a golden opportunity. Turned away by Carey Price. We remain scoreless in the first of Game five in conjunction with NBC Sports. You're listening to the Stanley Cup Finals on Sports USA.

"Joe Micheletti, John Oliver and Emily Arena. The Canadians on their first power play of the game in a scoreless game five John Rueda offer a cross check at 7 19. Canadians have to go back into their own goal in coming over and Coleman very nearly. It's a short handed goal. He's got it again in trying to pitch Forks, backhander wide and Jeff Pizza, trying to settle things down for the 1st 20 seconds of the Montreal power play, which has been fairly ineffective in the series is equally ineffective. Canadians just one for seven on the power play, but they're making soft plays, jokes and they're getting outworked by the penalty, killing the lightning round. For sure, they thought Montreal thought that Tampa Bay was just going to clear the ice, clear the puck down the ice and the first one, Tampa Bay didn't try to make a play. And they did. The Goldman Suzuki fires it hard around and into the Tampa Bay zone. McDonough pops into the front of the net. Nobody home but Anthony Cirelli of the Lightning and he'll Isis. We've got a penalty coming up behind the plate. Is it coincidental minors? Let's listen. 81 got minor interference. 94 about two minutes embellishment, So it's an interference call on Sure knack and embellishment call on Perry. So it is coincidental Minors at 8 15 Peri Peri slammed the penalty box gate as he went into the penalty box. He didn't like it sure, not just came over and gave him a shoulder to the chest, and Perry went down. And the officials felt that he embellished to call enough to even things up Joe. To me, It's the age old conversation. We can talk about it all night long. How can it be both? It's either one or the other, but it is both because that's the call it does not affect. The manpower situation remains a five on four power play for the Canadians and Anderson offside as he tries to pull a pass from behind him back into the Tampa Bay zone. The Canadian power play still has 48 seconds left joke, but it does not look sharp. No, it hasn't. You know, this is a power play that that hasn't hasn't really looked all that sharp throughout the series. They got some young players on there. And you know, we've spoken so often about the Montreal penalty killing. Tampa Bay's is excellent as well. Now Anderson and Coleman jostle at the edge of the circle, exchanging short cross checks. The officials have to come over draw the old line in the back seat like on vacation with your brother or sister never works. No, it doesn't was going to say we'll see if it works, but Remember, the retaliation is always what Mom and dad caught. And here comes Coleman off the face off. He had a chance to come in short handed. But he's caught by Anderson is going to take a penalty that hooking call and Al Coleman saying it should be a penalty shot. He's all the way back at his own movie, but he's got a point. Did he have a breakaway and so cemetery so Tampa Bay makes makes the play. They try to clear it goes off a glove and slows down. And so Coleman is able to try to reach out and he loses control and trying to control it with his right escaped and that didn't work. So the game is being called tightly. You know, I'd go so far very safe. Would you consider that a pretty good penalty? Because if Anderson doesn't take that penalty, your point, I think Coleman, who's got great speed off to the races on a breakaway for sure. So it's four on four for the next few seconds as the lightning people fuckin and served Check trying to get it back from board had his stick lifted. It angles off the boards and back out center right shots. 10 2 in favor of Tampa Bay. Montreal Power play did not even produced a shot on goal before they took the penalty there by Anderson at 8 43. How Suzuki wiped out by Coleman Coleman's been all over the ice. Been the best player on the ice in this first period. He has points in every game in this series. And now Tampa Bay wanted one appellant. Too many men on the ice Suzuki on his way to the back. Edge. The puck just appeared in front of him went off the skate of a teammate that was going over the boards, and then he just dumped it in the rest of the way. I don't think it was too many men on the ice, and there's nothing else the officials agree with. Hedman handles it. Sentara is Tampa Bay Seconds away from going on their own power play now on their second power play of the game as the Canadian sweep it away, and Hedman has to come back and get it. That's another example. Cirelli gets it right at the blue line, carries it over the blue line, and immediately he's attacked. He loses the puck. Montreal clears it. Hedman brings it in for stand post wires it around and Cirelli battling with Byron to try to keep it alive. Future. AW, made a little pump pass into that bump position in the middle. Got it right back from point now has it right circuit out high. Hedman capitalists takes a wrist shot doubled up by Carey price Now that time Tampa Bay was able to get set up and when you draw has it that's when he becomes so dangerous. So he's on the right side, and he's looking for either a plate of the middle of play down on the side of the net. But this time you got it to Hedman on the left point, have been walked in and initially decided to take the shot because Cirelli was directly in front of Carey Price. But Cirelli took a step to the side price was able to see the shot. Make a safe rally wins the ensuing faceoff to the right of price stuck on the end boards. Evans didn't get it out shot passed by him. And the boy was looking for future off the right post, and he didn't connect hustling the other way. Evans trying to split the defense shorthanded, and he's written off the puck in the left corner. Now by Hedman dying Seconds of the power play, 10 ticks remaining. The man advantage point across the line. Trump Sutra back to feature off his pass deflected towards the Net, capped away by Carey Price and collected by the Canadians to know clears the zone. That'll do it. Out of the box. Anderson and the Canadians full strength, so Tampa Bay over two on the power play, and they turn it over at Senate. Here's Suzuki on his own into the Tampa Bay Zone strips to the left corner wanted the centers of the far post. But that came gored to intercept that. It stood out by the lightning. This go all the way back in the Montreal ice. First man on Heathrow rolls it slowly to the side of the Net, and Carey Price scoops it up. He'll hang on just under nine minutes to go.

As he went into the penalty box. He didn't like it. Your neck just came over and gave him a shoulder to the chest. And Kerry went down. And the officials felt that he embellished to call enough to even things up, Joe to me. It's the age old conversation. We could talk about it all night long. How can it be both? Either one or the other. It is both because that's the call.

So the Game is being called tightly, Joe that go so far as Would you consider that a pretty good penalty because of Anderson doesn't take that penalty. Your point. I think Coleman, who's got great speed is up to the race is on a breakaway for sure. So it's four on four for the next few seconds as the lightning people fuckin circuit kept trying to get it back from Gord had his stick lifted. It angles off the boards and back out center ice.

Too many men on the ice Suzuki on his way to the bench. Puck just appeared in front of him went off the skate of a teammate that was going over the boards. Then he just dumped it in the rest of the way. Don't think it was too many men on the ice and nothing else. The officials agree with me. Cadman handles at center Ice Tampa Bay seconds away from going on their own power play now on their second power play of the game as the Canadians sweep it away, and Hedman has to come back and get it.

"We are set to go Game five of the Stanley Cup Finals with Joe Micheletti. I'm John Ahlers. The referees for tonight's game as assigned by the National Hockey League are Dan O. Rourke and Gord Dwyer. The lines that are Michelle Cormier and stop Cherry lightning in their home blue. The white Lightning bolt down the chest. White numbers in blue helmets traveling left to right across your radio dial against the Canadians in their road whites, red shoulder piping blue pants and white helmets and we are underway the face off at center ice controlled by Montreal. It comes all the way back and price out. So the left of his nets to sweep it away to center ice. David Savard throws it rink wide nous scales the boards and goes into the Montreal bench. Just 10. Seconds in, We'll get a whistling a stoppage of play. So the two third lines if you will Joe to start the game again. I think that that will change because again the third line that Johnny Gord for for Tampa Bay, But John Cooper always likes to start that line to give them a little energy to start games. I don't think it'll say third line against third line, in fact, immediately, who sends his second line out there Cirelli, along with Stamkos, able to get the puck into the zone, Colton, who has filled in ever since One went out with the injury while missing his fourth straight game. Touch deflected back into the Montreal Zone. Way Outcomes Christ to play it because like in and blew a wheel on his way back an alert play by the Montreal netminder Evans trying to throw it into the Tampa Bay zone, But it was block by McDonagh checking to Savard. He'll leave it for circuits have now changes off the Tampa Bay bench. 45 seconds in and surrogates moves it up the right side. Lake Coleman right back out. Another ship for this line flips the backhander towards the net, and it's sealed off to the ice by Carey Price, John. We're talking about about intensity and and preparing for games in our pregame show today. What I didn't Mentioned at that time was you take a guy like Mikhail Sergeyevich out. He parks his car in the back with the rest of the players. They had to go back and get him because he left his car on When he got out. He gets out of his car. You talk about focus. Right. All you're thinking about is playing this game. He gets out of the car. He leaves his car running and they had to go get them to shut it off. That's where these minds are in preparation for a game like this. Canadians win the draw and bring it to center Dumped in by Philips. Donald Gordon took a little bit of a run at Sherrod as he moved the puck out of his own. The two of them exchange. How do you do now? The Lightning back to center Hedman across the line for Gord, on his backhand on the right side tries to hit the brakes and peel back. He's off. Tangled up and the puck swatted away by Chara. This will go all the way down and B I six and that's what's Geron in these big defenseman for Montreal have done in this in this series. They have tried to continually pound Those Tampa Bay forwards in particular, some of the smaller one so board makes a little play gets it inside the offensive zone. Right hand board makes a little turn. Sharon stays right with him, knocks him down and then ice is the park. So the point line comes out for the first time in Dino wins the draw. Keeping the Montreal zone around the boards have is able to get it to center, and they'll try to effect a quick change like dump it right back in this plot, backhands it behind the Net. Pick up by Sharon keep moving His backhand pass up the right boards intercepted by point, but he couldn't keep it in, nudged to center where Byron will lay it back for Weber, Canadians through center in Lexington, just trying to redirect it deeper, couldn't get it through the neutral zone. The creature off real facts point in on left wing hits the break the right hand shot looking for passing options, lays it back at the line. McDonough rides it around the boards in behind the net, sealed off there by Jake Evans, the Canadians who moves it up and out with a little help from Lincoln and fired right back in by Internet. That's the matchup that Montreal want, at least here in the early going Jake Evans and shirt it into the lineup last game. They want him and his linemates out against the breaking point line. Evans first game of the final and he contributed to this Assist in the overtime win for the Canadians. Again, the lightning able to dump it into the zone. Josh Anderson, the hero of Game four, gets it back out to center right on the tape for coffee across the line, joined by Suzuki backhands it right into the priest. And it's caramel steered aside by the stick of vasilevskiy, countering back the other way the lightning and drove gets one away off the left boards that's easily handled by price of local tenders. Get an early, saving an early touch, Not that difficult for either one of them. And now Anderson Rockets one in from outside The blue line. That's an even easier safe for vasilevskiy. Right and changing as they clear to center ice in our regroup by the Canadians Back in their own zone, Corey Perry takes a pass at center up the right boards, rims it around off the stick of vasilevskiy to the left side. Armenia trying to keep it in along the stall, it bounces to Cameroon. He finds Johnson and he sends it rink wide skating into it as Joseph and he tripped up because he comes into the Montreal zone in the game's first penalty will go against the Canadian. Well, Matthew Joseph Has phenomenal speed. And for Tyler Johnson, Tyler Johnson made a really smart play. He gets the puck on the right hand board just inside his own blue line. And so what he did is he threw throws the puck all the way across the ice, and he lets Joseph uses speed to catch up to the puck, and by the time he caught up to it in the offensive zone, he gets tripped down. So the early power play in this game Goes to Tampa Bay Lightning with their 13th power play of the series. Montreal has had just seven but again when you play aggressive and you play with speed, sometimes you draw those penalties. Of course, the Canadians a big five for five in Game four on the penalty kill now 40 of their last 42 Joe, in a span of their last 17 games on the peak has just been phenomenal, and the key for them is not to let Tampa Bay gets set up in the offensive zone. Carry off for a hook at three. 21. The lightning get it includes drop in front and all alone was point. But he couldn't handle the pass cleanly has to chase it to the corner rims it around the wall and now Stamkos speeds middle of the ice at the blue Line for Hedman. Hedman gets it back from future off in the right circle back to Putra One timer, and it's club by Carey Price, no traffic in front of him, and he's able to hang on.

But it has been that long since they have found themselves in this position in a Stanley Cup final. It has not dimmed the hopes of 3500 or so as we're thinking here, tell, waving, screaming and Light, saber waving fans at Bell Center, but it is a very, very steep hill that they're Canadians must climb, however, when Dominique Ducharme and the coaching staff from Montreal, look at it, That's not how they're approaching. It isn't well, it's not because they've been so they've been through so much as a team, uh, that they just feel that they can overcome. Any type of obstacle, and that's the approach they are taking to this game. They're not looking at this as well. We have to win four.

"Across the line on left wing, an election and his angled off good played by Anthony Cirelli. They're allowing them to stretch it. They caught the Canadians on the change plot gets it over and Kucherov scores. Bad change by the Canadians costs them dearly. It's 31 Tampa Bay and what an alert play by the Tampa Bay defense again. They've been involved in every goal. John hollers Joe Micheletti on the call Here on Sports USA. It's been always something from Montreal in this series, and not usually a good thing. What's cost? The most are bad line changes that even cause that Killer to on old goal, uncharacteristic turnovers and bad locations. Odd man rushes galore and they've never had the lead in the series, which has only happened to other times and Stanley Cup final history. When it was all said and done, head coach Ducharme has some thoughts on the importance of scoring first now. Well, I think it's huge against any team, it would be something important. But at the same time Cannot stop lying. And you know if you don't score the first goal, so no, we want to have a good start. I thought, uh, I thought last game we, uh it's not that we had a bad start is just You know, the major spirit right away on a on a nice ng and and on Empire play. Uh, fuck that we to understand. Uh so we need to, uh Managed to start the right way. Come out, dynamic, active, uh, playing our game, and, uh, you know, getting that first goal there for sure It would be important. And then there's carry Price who was standing on his head, with or without a helmet. All playoffs long from Montreal. But in this series against the best on the planet, the haves Future Hall of Fame goalie ISO and three with the 4 39 goals against at an 8 35 save percentage. Has allowed two goals in the first four minutes of a playoff game for the first time in 87 career starts, and that can get you one win, let alone a chance to win the cup and he knows the score. Now. You don't have a choice. Uh, you know, we've we've overcome adversity all season long. And you know racks are obviously against the wall. So we're going to start bringing our best. Yes, an understatement for sure. And don't ask his coach. If there will be a change in goal for this must win carries a guy playing Monday so If you wonder, or people wonder about who is going to be a net. Kerry is going to be in that. And, yeah, you can talk about one guy and another guy. It's about all of us. To borrow all of us. We need to be better in front of him. Everyone all 20 guys putting on the jersey you know you are looking for Monday night. Playing their best game. That's it. And so how are some of price's teammates sounding now that their backs are super glued against the wall? Well, Brendan Gallagher was actually asked if he can take any positives from that disastrous game three loss. You just have to Correct the mistakes. I mean, it's your here. I'm not going to sit here and take a whole lot of positive. We We believe we can play with these as we believe it since Game one. We just haven't shown it enough for a full 60 minutes. Uh, you know, we've had we've had spurts where we've you know, everything We've talked about. Everything we've done is work. Uh, but there's just been mistakes in our in our game. And, um, you know, we're playing too good of a hockey team. They're you know, they're deep everywhere. They're gonna capitalize are gonna make you pay. Uh, so you know, the positives are this This team has been In many holes. This change been doubted, but the character in that locker room isn't going anywhere. That's something that, uh, we're going to keep competing. Keep playing. In terms of how the games are being played. We need to get better. Sorry for the possible record amount of cliches ahead, But here they come as expected under the circumstances. Josh Anderson, What's your mindset to stay positive? Um, no, we're here for a reason. And, um, obviously, we've dug ourselves a little bit of a whole year. And, um, in the mood slight right now, and, um, we have a job to do, and we're gonna Do everything we can to, um, stay in this thing and fly out Tampa on on Tuesday. So everyone just getting prepared for tomorrow night's game, and, um, we're all going to compete and work hard and put off full effort in Of course, Tomorrow night is now tonight and many moons ago, I was the radio voice to Wisconsin hockey and their leader, then badger. Bob Johnson had some wonderful sayings. Not sure if this was his or not. But what should be hanging in the Canadians locker room right now and became a championship slogan and Madison 60 minutes. No alibis. No regrets when we already know it's a great day for hockey because it always is, and even more so, with the perfectly shined up Stanley Cup in the building, along with our glossy broadcast team. John dollars and one time Montreal drafty A few years back. Joe Micheletti, standing by Atlas, Sandra Bell Fall in Game four and May. None of us ever have to be as desperate as the ABS are tonight, guys. Well, you you Teddy. You pulled out a few of the many cliches that will probably toss around time. The cup is in the building. There's no tomorrow at their backs are against the wall. They're desperate hockey team. All of those things. But also the Tampa Bay Lightning of tossed some cliches around Joe. The fourth one is the most difficult game to get, and there's a little history here. Certainly there were ghosts at the old Forum. Those ghosts remain in Montreal. The Canadians have lost the Stanley Cup final eight times in their history and going to the final 32 times, but only once. In the city of Montreal. Have they lost here? So this is not a foregone conclusion. If you're the Tampa Bay Lightning. You have to just keep the mindset I would think of. Keep your foot on the gas. John Cooper, talking with the media this morning, said. We had a couple of chances last year to finish teams where we didn't I don't get the feeling this is a team that.

"Our Sports USA, Los Angeles Studios or we are most proud to bring you every minute of the Stanley Cup final and we are down to crunch time. It's do or die, or it's golfing season for the Montreal Canadians who trail Tampa Bay 03 in the best of seven final, and only one team has ever come back from dropping the first three games and going on to win the Cup. In 27 tries and 20 of those clubs getting the sweep. And that was the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs over Detroit. And no, I wasn't there. But leaves Captain Syl Apps was and he got to skate off with the Stanley Cup that sits in the building tonight, waiting for the now probable back to back run by the Lightning. Meanwhile, the last sweep in the Cup final was in 1998 when Detroit put away Washington and who is the captain of the wings and their M v p that season? Stevie I Zerman, the man who helped put this Tampa Bay Club on the championship map. So a little trivia for you to play with their as we get you ready for Game four last Friday night, saw the first Cup final game played in Montreal in 28 years in the home team lost 6 to 3. The haves had everything in their favor, except for maybe the rosters. It was the emotional return of interim head coach Dominic Ducharme from Covid Protocol. They had a small but loud and proud, very boisterous 3500 fans in the building and many more outside chanting. We want the cup, but it was Tampa Bay that came out flying, and they not only scored first, but twice in the 1st 3.5 minutes of the 1st and 2nd periods, which was just too much to overcome. For the haves and oh, not only haven't a Canadian scored first yet in this series, but they're yet to get a lead, which is by far when they are at their best 26 giveaways in Game three by the haves after just five in each of the first two games, hardly the recipe for success first time in 12 tries this postseason. Montreal has scored at least two goals in a game and lost Now. It feels like months ago when the Canadians won seven straight and scored first in each of those to get here. Module did get back in the game two with a big first goal of the playoffs by Phillip Danault in the opening period to make it 2 to 1, Tampa and then it was only 1 40 into the second period when the Canadians made one of their too many bad mistakes that may have cost them the game and really the series. Gallagher feeds it across the line on left wing and Lincoln and his angled off good play by Anthony Cirelli. They're allowing them to stretch it. They caught the Canadians on the change a lot. Gets it over and Kuchar off scores. A bad change by the Canadians costs them dearly. It's 31 Tampa Bay and what an alert play. By the Tampa Bay defense again. They've been involved in every goal. John Hollers Joe Micheletti on the call Here on Sports USA. It's been always something from Montreal in this series, and not usually a good thing. What's caused the most are bad line changes that even cause that killer to an old goal uncharacteristic turnovers in bad locations. Odd man rushes galore and They've never had the lead in the series, which has only happened to other times and Stanley Cup final history when it was all said and done, and coach Ducharme has some thoughts on the importance of scoring first now. Well, I think it's huge against anything it would be, uh, something important. At the same time. Cannot stop lying. And you know if you don't score the first goal, so you know, we want to have a good start. I thought, uh, I thought last game we, uh it's not that we had a bad start is just They made us period right away on a on a nice thing and and on the power play. Uh fuck that we to understand. Uh so we need to, uh Managed to start the right way. Come out dynamic, active. Playing our game. And, uh, you know, getting that first goal for sure will be important. And then there's Carey Price, who was standing on his head, with or without a helmet all playoffs long from Montreal. But in this series against the best on the planet, the Habs Future Hall of Fame goalie ISO and three with the 4 39 goals against at an 8 35 save percentage. He's allowed two goals in the first four minutes of a playoff game. For the first time in 87 career starts, and that can't get you one win, let alone a chance to win the cup and he knows the score. Now you don't have a choice. Uh, you know, we've we've overcome adversity all season long. And you know racks are obviously against the wall. So we're going to start bringing our best. Yes, an understatement for sure. And don't ask his coach. If there will be a change in goal for this must win carries a guy playing Monday so If you wonder, or people wonder about who is going to be in that Kerry is going to be in that. And, yeah, you can talk about one guy and another guy. It's about all of us. To borrow all of us. We need to be better in front of him. Everyone all 20 guys putting on the jersey you know, are looking for Monday night playing their best game, that's it. And so how are some of price's teammates sounding now that their backs are super glued against the wall? Well, Brendan Gallagher was actually asked if he can take any positives from that disastrous game three loss. You just have to Correct the mistakes. I mean, it's your here. I'm not gonna sit here and take a whole lot of positive. We We believe we can play with these guys. We believe it since Game one. We just haven't shown it enough now for a full 60 minutes. Uh, you know, we've had we've had spurts where we've you know, everything We've talked about. Everything we've done is work. But there's just been mistakes in our in our game. And, um, you know, we're playing too good of a hockey team. They're you know, they're deep everywhere. They're going to capitalize. Gonna make you pay. Uh, so you know, the positives are this This team has been In many holes. This change been doubted, but the character in that locker room isn't going anywhere. That's something that, uh, we're going to keep competing. Keep playing. In terms of how the games are being played. We need to get better.

"So you only pay for what you need halfway through the first period in Montreal, the Lightning with a fast starting to lead in a series, they already lead two games to none. Joe Micheletti. We've seen the haves with little push back here, but nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. No, but there they are doing a better job. Vasilevskiy is really having to fight and work to see some of the shots at Montreal is getting Face off right at center ice, controlled by Phillip Danault, dumps it in behind the net and vasilevskiy out to paddle it away himself. Savard up on the rush takes the long rink wide feet out of the zone fires a good low, hard shot, kicked away by price, long rebound collected and brought the other way by Danault. Driving The net is Gallagher Dental Scores Center Lane Drive from Gallagher may have Taken the eye away from Vasilevskiy and Philip to know has his first of the playoffs. Well, that's the key matchup that was against the point line. Now what started this play was serve our Tampa Bay defenseman skating down the right hand side he got in Inside the top of the circle, got a shock, then tried to get his own rebound. So now he gets caught up and it's a two on 12. No coming down the left side. You were right as far as Gallagher cut going quite hard to the net. And, you know, waited for Gallagher to get there. Then he took the shot. Ambassador Husky had trouble finding it goes over his right shoulder and the response by Montreal is a big one. They get to within one. John Cooper has Francis Sharon over at the boards in front of his bench, and they are looking at the video to see perhaps was this offside, It could have been because Gallagher You can see how to step onto no Gallagher was going right down the middle. And are they going to challenge? This does not look at it. It looks like it. So there's been some criticism locally. Put your surprised face on. There's been some criticism of whether or not this to know life needs to pick up the pace offensively here in Montreal. Well, there's your answer, and it's now 212 nose. First of the playoffs at 11 16. Well, maybe, you know, finish. I mean, they've gotten plenty of chances. They just don't haven't done a lot of finish it.

"Here are John Ahlers and Joe Micheletti. Won't swap from Central Bell in Montreal. It is game twat of the finale de la Coupe Stanley John dollars alongside Joe Micheletti as this series moves north of the border. The Montreal Canadians host a Stanley Cup final game for the first time ever at Bell Centre, trailing this series, two games to none. The history is here, Joe Micheletti. The Canadians are hoping it works on their side. But we are going to focus on somebody who's coming into the series who we will not see on the ice tonight. Dominique Ducharme after a 14 Day quarantine following a positive test for Covid 19 back on the Montreal bench tonight, you have played in this league you have coached in this league. A lot of fans out there are going to say a coach on the bench. Is it that big a deal? I think it is. In this situation. You know, most coaches will tell you that as the as the Stanley Cup playoffs, go on. And if you're fortunate to continue to go on Coaching. Probably isn't as intense as far as exes and ohs as it is earlier in the series, But there's something more to this because this whole Montreal story to me. Is something that's special. And part of the special story is the fact that Dominique Ducharme took over mid season He was an assistant. There was a change with the head coach. He takes over now, Over the course of the second half of the season. They go through injuries. They go through trades. They go through an awful lot of different things. And so he he was there to absorb all that. He's got a special relationship with the players because you know what the players appreciated what he did to help get them here, and it's a team that no one thought would be in this situation. So there's a there's a genuine, uh, happiness amongst the players. At the head coach who came on midstream gets to be in this situation, and I think that will help them. The other part of this is that Luke Richardson, who took over as the head coach, while Dominique Ducharme was gone. Goes back to handle the defense, and I think that's really important because they've got their 5th and 6th defenseman that played about 10 minutes a game. I think they're going to have to be utilized a little bit more as the series goes on. And with Luke Richardson deal That's his specialty is he was a NHL defenseman for years and years over 1400 games in this league, and so that's his spot, and I think that that will help them. Going forward, also having him back in the spot that he belongs, Interestingly enough, where Richardson is concerned 1417 regular season National Hockey League games for five different teams over 17 seasons. Never been to a Stanley Cup final before he was the interim interim head coach behind the bench until tonight. Ducharme incidentally, took over mid season He is still officially the interim. Head coach here in Montreal, and many would say, Well, clearly, that tag will probably be removed. But in the regular season after taking over for Claude Julien, 15 16 and seven was the record all the more remarkable that the Canadians find themselves here. But Joe do they find themselves in a must win situation? Clearly not an elimination game. The old cliche. We hear it all the time. A team is not in trouble in a series until they lose a home game down to after having lost two on the road. Is this a must win for the Canadian? Yes, they have to win. Have to win. Unless unless they they lose this game and Tampa Bay ends up losing a whole slew of their key players, including their goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, because he's the best in the world. And the way he plays in the way he can his record in elimination games. So so for Montreal, you have to look at this game that if they don't win, this series is over. It's just a matter of what day it ends on because To come back and try to beat Tampa Bay with the squad they have on the ice Now. They still they still are are missing. Alex Killorn. He will not play again tonight, so he misses his second straight game. But they have such depth. On this team, and they know how to win coming off of what they did last season. So so Montreal has to win the game. I think they know that so far in.

They've got 11 led by Nick Suzuki, with eight Canadians making a big push here in Game two, and almost throughout the entire 35 minutes, played already. I'd add one is a feathered in behind Vasilevskiy, who's been outstanding Canadian four check gets in money and he couldn't get it over to Anderson. But now he engages cut her off. He gets a little support, and it's brought back to center ice by Brayden point. Surrogate. Jeff is the trailer. He'll wind it up the left boards and in John Merrill has it in his skates for the Canadians back to the corner, But point is there and he is absolutely wiped out by Joel Edmundson. Puck squirts to price and the goal crease and he taps it ahead for Josh Anderson. He can move and he speeds into the Tampa Bay zone cuts to the Net. Vasilevskiy makes the stop. You know, fresh off the Montreal bench keeps the puck alive on the left boards in the Tampa Bay zone, pushes it to the corner. Little give and go to know has it again from behind the net feeds the right 0.1 timer by Petry in the left had safe by that, so let's see that change direction in front. Canadians now getting a little net front presence. It was our Mia who got the redirect on that one boy. Has he been good in this game? Puck comes back in and the Canadians are offside. You go all the way up and down the line up. For Montreal, and so many of their players have been much better their team game and this feels Like a 51 game, and the only reason it's not it's because of Andrei Vasilevskiy. He's the reason why Tampa Bay is even close to being in this game. This is totally one.

What has his last 16 months been like for you? It's been as it has been for everyone a time of concern, obviously not normal and a little crazy because we've all had to do things differently than we've ever done before. Whether it's personal or professional. Our priority from a legal standpoint was to finish the 1920 season. To get through this season to protect the health and well being of our players, our staffs in the communities in which we play and we had to do it all remotely because we weren't functioning the way we normally do, and we had tremendous cooperation more of the clubs. We had tremendous cooperation, especially from the players and the players Association and our fans have been sensational. But, you know, we hope that this effort was Well received as an attempt to give people some sense of normalcy and seeing buildings opening up and being like here in Tampa with a packed house. Hopefully makes people feel good that we're getting to the other end. Yeah, I know people that I've dealt with would be friends or fans, or, uh, you know, founded rather remarkable, with everything that was going on in the world, both Personally for a lot of people and dealing with covid and from a business side of all the major companies around the world that that we're in such dire straits that you were able to get this back. And here we are 16 months ago, and you're getting ready to present another Stanley Cup. Was there a biggest challenge of all this? We wanted to make sure that we had the resources and the wherewithal and the opportunity to do the things that we did. It meant that we had to be agile. We had the very focused on what our optionality would be, because things were being thrown at us on a regular basis without any predictability, And in that regard, the owners of the franchises have been unbelievable, both in terms of their support. And their financial commitment because financially this was a very difficult here because roughly half of our revenues come directly or indirectly from people at games. And obviously that revenue source was largely impacted.

That's a lefty with a big say Suzuki had a breakaway He couldn't score. Here's another chance. Josh Anderson goes wide on right wing and other bad angle shot, but this one is blocked by Ron Rudin. I got to get the Tampa Bay defense credit. They block a lot of shots. A lightning have had a power play here. In the early going. They did not get a shot on goal during Power play. Anderson has it again at center for the hats and puts it up on the shelf behind the net. Using the gloves to take it off was Vasilevskiy that starts a breakout. Johnson's past flutters into the Montreal zone and Price 20 ft out of his net to play it, But he turns it over to stand post who comes in and that was disrupted by Sharrock good defensive play by Chara, but a penalty coming up to Montreal.

And he was it was about Inside the circle, and he was put it was put under pressure. Half of a anticipated where he was going to go with the puck and when he dumped it off to the side boards. Steven Stamkos was there right away to intercept it, And now he's walking into the front carry prices trying to scramble back to his net bench. Theron, who had been in the corner has to scramble back and made a real good play. To disrupt that shot, but it led to a penalty. This is what the Canadians before the series said they couldn't do. They are not staying out of the box head in the middle of the ice gives it to trump One timer from the right circle pop straight up in the air off the pads of Carey Price recovered by the Lightning and Hedman again gives it to coach dropping the right ring. He moved it into the middle brain point. Quickly fired and wide. Stamkos recovers to Hedman. All the way to the top of the circles. He lets it go, and that missed the mark. Future off seals the right while to keep it in where they worked lower and lower in the zone. Every time you try shot is blocked, and a sweep of the puck gets it to center ice by our jury looking and good play by likening. It allows Montreal to get penalty killing changes. And I liken it steals the puck at the line from Kucherov, but running out of his net to play it was Vasilevskiy, but you can see what happens. When Tampa Bay is able to set up a play in the offensive zone. They force Montreal to back off and then they go to work, and they had a couple of really good chances to get one pass Carey Price and couldn't now maroon joins this power Play unit in place of Killorn is that net front presence as it's brought in on the right side By Sergey Chow. He feathers it back and working. The right holds its put. Your off, who tried tried to hook it back to circuit said that was sniffed out good job by Merrill who broke it up. The room, gets it back behind the head and find Stamkos on the left wars. Circuits have now out high looks off. A defender now does give it to trump. Never a bad idea. He gives it back to him, and the coupes are off wires. One timer that one hit Carey Price and the Mask and I think the buckle on the back of his mass pop because he was pointing at his mask. Referee. He did get his attention blows the play. I'm wonder if that didn't happen before I thought the saving made on who draw their He got it with the left pad. It looked like to me but again, just Tampa Bay Power play. They've had. They've been able to set things up. And and get some get some scoring chances, but Carey Price with a couple of big saves. So now we have a chance to take a look at. He didn't make it. The initial say the puck actually deflected up into his mask, and that's where he had the issue. Good job by the referee to blow down all the whistle and The play dead hit him right in the mind joke off the face off the Canadians Control and Shea Weber has everyone ducking on both benches. As he wires that 100 Mile an hour slap shot by them both and all the way down writing use the middle of the ice to try to gain the zone. But again, the puck comes to Weber. His clear, though, doesn't get out. Maroon kept it in. And now it's a lot on the left boards in the dying seconds of the power play back to the line circuit check gives it to Tyler Johnson right circle his shot blocked as the penalty expires. Byron is out of the box. He elected and come up ice with Paul Byron Reaching forward on the left side caught my back checking Tyler Johnson and the Lightning again possess cleared to center where Petrie handles it. So Montreal survives two early penalties there, two for two on the kill, and they didn't shut out Tampa Bay from a shop perspective that time, however, as price had to make a couple of segues to Foley can't take a stretch pass about lying and our turn at the defenseman storms.

"Joe Micheletti anything about tonight's game? Our question comes from Alec in Chicago, Joe he wants to know his Montreal going to be able to make a strong push in the third against the Tampa team, Notorious Shutting it down when holding the lead after two periods of play. You know, John, I think the one thing that hockey fans and hockey people have learned in this year's playoffs is Don't bet against the Montreal Canadians. No one thought they'd make the playoffs. No one thought they get through the first round the second round. Third round and here they are in the final. So just from that premise alone and the way they play, you can't bet against them. Now that being said, you've got the Tampa Bay Lightning that learn how to defend with a lead. Last season, and that led them to winning the Stanley Cup and he is absolutely right about the way of when Tampa decides to just lock it down. They can do that. 12 to in these playoffs when leading after two periods of play are the Lightning. I mentioned it earlier affairs repeating in the regular season, the Lightning were 26. Oh, When leading after two periods of play the only team in the National Hockey League over the course of the truncated 56 game season that did not cough up a lead after two periods of play, John and I think Think Campo came up will come out and try to stay aggressive. You know, the way they lock it down is they don't take risks. The play is not there. They'll make they'll make the safe play if it's not there, but if they get an opportunity to get into four check Cause turnovers, get scoring chances. They're certainly going to play that way. That's been part of their evolution as well. You go back to 2019 when they ran away with the president's trophy and then were swept in the opening round by Columbus. They had their detractors who said they can't win 21 games. They don't know how to lock it down. They they're not a team that Take their foot off the gas will be successful.

Coleman chops it right back in front and little chaos in front of the Montreal net is settled down as Josh Anderson brings it back to center. How about Phillip Danault starts the opening face off, wins the face up and makes a change. That's all important. Now Montreal is looking at face offs and puck control in this period. Price sweeps one away from behind the net. And now Anderson speeds to Senate knocked off his stick as he gains the blue line, But we'll track it down himself, Curls it along. The end boards are Turi lechon and gets there for the Canadians. Leaves it on the wall to know sweeps it deep. But Anderson going for a change, so the Canadians will relent and the lightning get it to center. Stamkos feathers it in behind the net. Petry gets there. First Little reversal, but Stamkos got there. Loved away and now Gallagher Place for Dino at center. Canadians through the neutral zone Lechon and had it poked off his stick as he tried to dump it in. Now he retreats back into his own zone. Where Petrie in Edmondson play catch Edmondson's past. Out of the reach of you know, we'll go all the way down. This is icing against Montreal. And that's part of the way that Tampa Bay will defend by just getting up. Making you do something with the puck before you're ready to And sometimes When that happens, it turns into an icing.

He obeys the game misconduct was yeah he goes. He's given a ten minute. Game conduct a game misconduct. The ten minute misconduct thought he was kicked out of the game now because he had the empty net goal. That's that's right. I forgot about that. That's right my bed so anyway. He punched pavel buchnevich on the side of the head. As down on the ice. He then pulled our tammy erin by the hair and he hit him too as well. Parental leave the game. I don't know if it was related but a lower body injury and so the whole thing was just a mess. Power morgan baron. What i would do in the off season would get into weight room. I'd go to a boxing gym and learn how to box. I lift weights. And i become tom wilson now not be like him but be the guy that the rangers don't have but not dirty now but he's big enough and strong enough and you know he's he's a good enough skater where i think that if he took it upon himself to say hey i'm gonna come back next year and not gonna crap out of people you'd find himself a job while here was david quinny says simply no no excuse for play like this. Yeah well we all saw it and there are lines. That can't be crossed in this game and it's just to me. It's just those as zero respect for the game in general and one of the players in this league now who could have got seriously seriously hurt. Madison and here was meek. Zibanejad again with the reacts. Him to i know i figured it should have somewhere expected the game instead of players and i don't even know i don't honestly know where to start really no place to start. You don't do it. Oh by the way. The rangers were eliminated from the postseason. David queens just another level of disappointment..
