What are their comparative payrolls, which way will the wind be blowing in the Garden and in Tampa and how will the wind impact the flow of the game and the shooting of the puck?
Ya left out temperature in the garden / tampa and how hard is the ice relative to that temperature.
That statement reminds me of the Old Boston Garden where the A/C or electricity would suddenly quit in the old Celtics or Bruins Playoffs causing game stoppages and temperature swings ! Yup, Nothing like controlling the momentum ! Those old Bostonians know all about LEGAL advantages !

I was just a wee lad, but I do recall actual fog in the Boston Garden.

I've also seen this in Finn's bedroom.

I was at one of the fog games in the old Boston Garden. They had to call the game and we had a lot of trouble finding our way out of the seating areas into the stairways. The tilted floors upstairs didn't help either. I think it was a playoff game. Not sure.

I Remember the Patriots having the tractor illegally clear a spot in the snow for a game winning field goal ! I also recall my beloved N.Y. Giants opening the doors at one end of the stadium on windy days so that the wind would blow in the oppositions face when trying to kick a field goal !

5-3 man advantage and you give up a goal? I'm not a hockey expert, but that can't be a good sign. How often statistically do you give up a goal in that situation?

Act they changed it to a 5-4 power play.

Tampa totally outplayed then.

Lundquist does have a problem with games 2 & 5 in his history.

But don't count him out.

Hopefully Lundqvist can stop the puck in this game or else !

The LIghtning pass the puck very well and STRIKE like .....Lightning :roll:
this kid Tyler Johnson makes it happen !
Callahan looks to be getting his edge back . My original prediction of Lightning in 7 could be pushed up to 6 if the Rangers Defense can't find a way to slow down the puck movement.
