You know, even Brodeur lets in goals. He doesn’t have a 1.00. SV% or a 0.00 GAA. The more they shoot, the more likely one will go in – no matter who’s in between the pipes.

Alrighty. Shots are 13-3, New Jersey – the only Lightning players to have shots are Lecavalier, St. Louis, and Malone. Faceoffs are 50-50 between the teams, and pretty much 50% or 0% for all of the Tampa Bay players. Downie & Malone each have two hits. And the Lightning have five giveaways, while the Devils only have two.

…but for the Lightning players, they gotta stop playing like they are facing an immovable object. They’re not even making an effort to be STYMIED by an immovable object.

Stop waiting for the perfect deflect and pefect angle and SHOOT. Not dump-ins from the blue-line type shots, but actual shots in the general direction of the net. Don’t give the Devils the extra time to get the puck away from you — put a shot on goal and then fight for the rebound.
