still feel pretty good about their game.
"We knew we hadn’t played our best game yet," said Lightning defenceman Kevin Shattenkirk. "Obviously going down by a goal we knew if we got back to our principles, we would get our chances. We were patient with it." "A team like that has so much fire power up front and the back end too and they start coming in waves in the third and pushing it’s tough," said Borowiecki. "They’ve just got so many weapons that you just have to try and weather the storm and do your best to not give them chances off the rush. It’s kind of where they thrive. They’ve got guys who can make plays and make things happen and unfortunately we weren’t tight enough in the third and they made us pay.
The Lightning went on to take the lead in the second by scoring twice in a span of 65 seconds. First, Hedman found Verhaeghe in the slot who buried the puck into an empty cage. Then, just over a minute later, a trailing Shattenkirk picked up a loose puck and fired it past Anderson. "We were pretty lethargic the first two periods and it was a little deflating to get that goal scored with eight seconds left," admitted Lightning coach Jon Cooper. "We weren’t really getting momentum from anything, not even our power play, so we needed to regroup. We’re walking in there pissed off they scored, but it was probably the best thing for us."
