Domingue tracking the puck laterally extremely well in SO, but we kept trying the deeke.

Should've followed Monahan's lead!

I thought we had lost and won about 26 times in that game. So rare for a goalie to stop Monahan twice point blank in OT. Unique game!

No shootout in the playoffs!

Good game from Big Save Dave and a huge one from Big Game Ben. Bennett seems to have that higher level when the intensity revs up.

That was an incredible game overall.

I hate shootouts. I enjoyed shootouts when I was like 12-13 but they're just boring now.

Monahan with some glorious looks in OT. Then five straight shooters can't convert to give Rittich a chance to win the game. Can't ask for much more than that -- give Domingue credit for getting them the second point. Love the battle from Rittich as well.

So Neal as the third shooter I TOTALLY get. But no Gio after all that?

Fun as hell to watch, bar in Kensington was all in!

Loss sucks but great performance against the top team!

Perfect time to healthy scratch Neal. Last game before Christmas. Announce it now. Make it loud. Let the NHL and all fans know. It’s to the point I want Troy Brouwer back. Maybe that will wake him up!

The last few shooters in the shootout were trying to get too cute. Sometimes you just have to make one move and let it rip.

Meh...I ain't even mad. Taking TB, who are far and away the best team in the league right now, to the 7th round of the shootout is solid. We showed we can hang with the best. We can't win a shootout, but I like our odds in a seven game series.

I know that at the end of the day these are points lost, but I honestly cannot bring myself to care. NOT AT ALL.

#### the shootout.

You liked how the team played without him in Dallas?

Gio would not have deeked. So he would've scored.

Nothing to be too disappointed with here. 2 of Tampa’s goals were own team deflections, the team remains clutch and Rittich looked good. I’ve defended Neal all year but I’m so done with him. He doesn’t provide the team with anything. Also l, can we just play 3 on 3 sudden death until someone wins, the shootout if a joke. But take the point because the OOT has been very friendly tonight.

This game feels like a win. amazing game and shows this team is among the elite. This is the kind of game that take a team to the next level, even if we didn't get two points.

He was coming way out of his net. I think dekeing was the right call. But with speed. Way too slow on the approach.
