- for 60.

This is probably where being a great 3rd period team will be a good thing.

That was my exact thought. Its a new season, you better play with some desperation for the whole 60 minutes.

Woo Hoo! Good job Jackets!

Unbelievable. Picked the jackets in my bracket but honestly it was more of a joke than anything else. Now I believe.

Wtf Cuthbert. I hope you didn’t spend more than 3 seconds writing that opening speech.

There was also a complete absence of a push by Tampa at the end.

Guess they're not used to needing desperate goals late. Much satisfying.

Well this comment didn't age well.

Sportsnet will be showing the Sharks-Knights game right to the end. The SN360 channel should have the beginning of the Pacific Division game now that the Tampa Bay-Columbus game has ended.

I'm glad they won but Bruins beat Tampa last year first game and then lost the next 4.

Tampa has had the Presidents Trophy locked up forever. Jackets were battling every game. Makes sense they would have more fight than the Lightning in the first game. Bolts probably blow out the Jackets in Game 2.

This isn't new. This is a bully's game - if you're getting beat up, give some back. It's not gonna get called.
Why do we have rules at all then? Just send the refs off and have anything goes. Who needs speed and skill when you can cheat your way to a win?

I paid to watch hockey. If you guys don’t like hockey, that’s fine, but I prefer when the rules of the game are enforced.

Islander fans are the new Habs fans? Every time an Islander player goes down they cry for a penalty.

The Penguins-Islanders game is currently tied, could it be an early Easter epic?

Tampa must have read their press clippings, and figured Columbus would just roll over in the 3rd period. Expect to see a much more desperate team in game 2. Otherwise, they deserve to lose the series.

Also I like how they schedules these games. After the Pens game can switch over to the Jets game and watch the end of that.

I don't want a whistle every 9 seconds. I don't want a faceoff every 30 seconds. I don't want a defensive "line" playing vs "offensive" line in one zone.
I prefer hockey where two teams exchange chances and use the entire rink.

I kind of know what you mean, but PP filled games are unwatchable.

Ooh...that was an ugly trip by Lee on Gudbranson. He looks winded.

Edit: nope, his knee is buggered. That was unnecessary by Lee.
