It’s pretty clear on the one angle IMO — Bennett’s stick drives the goalies pad off the post. That created the opening to bang it across the line. Wasn’t intentional from Sam — he’s just banging away — but you can’t do that and the ref saw it.
Put another way, Vasilevskiy is one of the best goalies in the world. You think he’s going to push himself off the post? It makes no sense.
Edit: and now it’s tied. Let’s go!!!

The Connor McBennett love-in in here is vomit inducing.
Hard not to hate the Lightning but a 4 game sweep would be pretty sweet.

Well, at least neither team is going to have to travel far to go home.

Jesus dude, then leave maybe?
How hard is it to accept that Flames fans are going to cheer for a player traded at the deadline?

Tampa sure has become a heavy, dirty team.
Sutter isn’t wrong when he says size and speed are difference makers.
Barkov does nothing wrong in that battle. Refs being dumb.

Serious question: Do you ever make a post that isn't designed to elicit a reaction?

Also, a good point of comparison between these teams and the Flames skill-wise? Notice how many players can take passes off their skates while skating with speed?
There’s not a single player on the Flames team that can do it at this pace.

This is the first time I've actually watched a Florid game. Had no idea how good they are.

Barkov to Verhaeghe for a goal against his old team.
That's gotta feel great.

1st round playoff hockey, nothing better.
For those saying they have no interest in watching, what the hell is wrong with you?

This game has been out of this world. Both these teams are fantastic and I'm loving the energy from the crowd in Florida. Never thought I'd say that.

Agreed.
The season series was very competitive and it got nasty near the end of the year. There's a bit of hatred already between them.
It's going to be a great series.

I have to admit, I don't feel great about the Bennett thing. I am not judging anyone and nothing personal against Bennett, but his success is just a reminder of our futility.
But I still can't help but root for the Panthers in general though. They are a well built team.

Can’t believe how weak the North division seems after watching some of these other teams.

After 1 period, Barkov and Huberdeau already have a combined 7 shots on goal (4 and 3 respectively). The leaders of this team were ready to play tonight.
Bennett not far behind with 2 shots.
