This game gave me flashbacks to the 2020 and 2021 conference finals. The good games, not the games when Tampa just crushed Long Island. Tight, low scoring, but full of tense moments and excellent goaltending. The game started slow but sped up over time before ramping up in the 3rd period when Tampa showed some urgency and the Islanders became committed to blocking every shot the Lightning threw at them. The last couple minutes had me in the edge of my seat as the Lightning hung on to the puck for what felt like eternity. Sorokin was terrific and just like 2021, Ryan Pulock may have made the most important block. Even with all the pressure, the Islanders hung on. Not a flashy game by any means, but a great game if you want a ton of drama and close play. Don’t sleep on Vasi, he was terrific despite being the loser tonight. Hard to beat great passing and an unfortunate rebound.
