Good first game.

 

[Frenchy]

empty net 4-1

 

[DearDiary]

If all the skaters on the icing play have to stay on the ice for the defensive face-off, shouldn't the goalie technically have to stay pulled?

No, this rule has existed for a long time too

 

[Fisticuffer]

Beautiful start to the series.

 

[Firsov99]

This is it. The “South” Stars win. Tampa has a lot of homework to do.

 

[BoltsFanPinellasPark]

Bolts looked horrible for the first 2 periods. If the rest of the series goes like the 3rd in this one. Bolts in 5.. Good night!

 

[robertocarlos]

How come they can put the goalie back in when it's a Lightning that caused the icing. I thought you had to keep the players on ice for the face off.

Hockey minds blown.

 

[Paul4587]

Khudobin with an incredible third. What a game from him. At the other end Vasi was garbage, costing Tampa the game.

 

[Troy McClure]

Dickinson deserved that EN tonight. He's played well.

Amazing his best shot of the playoffs came from the neutral zone. He nailed it.

"Six against...goalie and five" - Doc Emerick

what ??

 

[BMOK33]

I’m pretty sure if Tampa dropped that 6th game they’d have lost that series. They just are going through a bad stretch right now

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

GG Stars.
Definitely played better overall this game. Certainly more rested.

Bolts seemed to put things together towards the end...too little much too late though, but at least it is something they can look back and build off of.

 

[Captain And Coke]

Other than a skate to skate own goal, Khudobin has had a solid game. It's not going to get easier for Tampa. They better regroup in game 2.

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Bolts looked horrible for the first 2 periods. If the rest of the series goes like the 3rd in this one. Bolts in 5.. Good night!

Tampa scored zero goals in the 3rd so how would the bolts win?

 

[BusQuets]

There's not been many goal scoring chances for Tampa. Dallas defense has put up a clinic again.

 

[powerstuck]

No, this rule has existed for a long time too

Makes it too easy for the team playing 6 skaters then.

 

[U55]

Good game no excuses. Expected to lose this one. Tampa looked bad in this game at the beginning. I expect tampa to win the next few in a row coming up. Hopefully stamkos will come back and score a few on the pp to ignite the team.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

That was a decent game, Tampa looked very tired but we're good in the third. And I really wanted to see Benn beat up Maroon. Overall it was alright.

 

[BTO]

Doby!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Great game by Dallas.

 

[Elysian]

What an amazing start to the series

 

[socko]

Dallas will win the Cup... Tampa hasnt got the offense to win right now.

I'm not very impressed with Tampa's depth scoring over the last few weeks. Their stars are great though. This game was all Dallas.

 

[Troy McClure]

How come they can put the goalie back in when it's a Lightning that caused the icing. I thought you had to keep the players on ice for the face off.

Because the league wants drama and comebacks.

 

[Paradise Circus]

East is weak

 

[JeffP]

TBL looked better in the 3rd, but Dallas turtled to maintain their lead.. it is what it is
See you in 2 sleeps.
