Tampa Bay Lightning vs Boston Bruins
8:00 PM ET, May 23, 2011
TD Garden, Boston, Massachusetts
The Boston Bruins know they must concentrate on every shift. They have to focus even harder right after Tampa Bay scores.
The Lightning have packed key goals into quick bursts that have sent them into Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night tied at 2.
In the opener, they beat goalie Tim Thomas three times in 1 minute, 25 seconds -- including twice in 19 seconds -- in the first period and won 5-2. In Saturday's 5-3 win, the Lightning scored three more times in a 3:58 span of the second period to wipe out a 3-0 deficit.
"When they score a goal, I think the basic thing for us is we have to have a big shift after that and kind of follow it up and get the momentum back," Boston forward Brad Marchand said Sunday. "They just seem to build a lot of emotion after they score a goal and they just feed off that."
And they don't panic when they fall behind.
"We were really positive, even though we were down 3-0," said forward Simon Gagne, who scored the tiebreaking goal at 6:54 of the third period. "We talked about the first goal, and after that everything was possible."
