Other than all the whining going on, you must admit:

Names / Stamkos / Palat
Killorn / Johnson / Kucherov

...Looked pretty damn good in the 3rd.

 

[Hoek]

Which is why Cooper won't go back to them.

 

[Iceman]

I went to bed and missed Hedman and co. taking over the game in the third period? :S


Edit: Actually, looks like Oilers scored 5 goals.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Not sure how they can be happy with that game...

Sad but true.

I agree. It was dumb luck that won that game.

Happy with the 3rd, definitely. What the hell was the first 60 minutes though?

"The thing that stuck out for our group was our compete," Stamkos said. "I certainly felt our group responded to the challenge from each other, coaching staff, from the organization, that we need to be better."

Said defenseman Victor Hedman: "We showed how good we can be. Everything was like normal."

Did these post-game quotes come from some future game where the Lightning didn't play like crap for 50 minutes and luck into a win or... ?

The Kool-aid Coop gave out after the game must have been good for them to believe that.

Not sure how they can be happy with that game...

Winning that game was almost as close to worst case scenario as you can get, it gives a false sense of accomplishment.
