Tyler Johnson scores, 1-0 Lightning. It was a 2 on 1 because two Islanders collided with each other at the Lightning blue line which created the turnover.
Sportsnet is doing the simulcast from NBC, Kenny Albert and Brian Boucher are calling the game.

You have to listen to the Tampa broadcast on Fan960. Esposito is basically my grandpa watching hockey. Trashing Drouin alot
The Tampa radio broadcast is just the worst. They have this guy doing the PBP:
And Esposito is... fine, I guess? But Mishkin just is unbearable.

That was unbelievable. They just had a 4 on 4. The Lightning win the faceoff and proceed to go absolutely globetrotters. They complete a full change in the process of passing the puck around with ease and spending 1:50 in the Islanders' zone before an errant pass sends the puck back to Bishop.
The Islanders were down 2 goals in the third period, and they got a chance to play 4 on 4 and maybe generate some chances. They didn't even touch the puck once.
No goals resulted, but that was perhaps the biggest demonstration of "we are much better than you guys at hockey" I've seen this whole playoffs.

Islanders just going HAM on the Lightning to begin with. Bishop's the only reason it isn't 2 or 3 cob. Goal just (correctly) waved off after a high stick... which was really stupid for Boyle to touch that puck, he would have had a tap in.
