Nobody talks about the fact that they only allowed 29 shots, eight of which came in the third period when the Lightning were going all-out for an equalizer over the final eight minutes. Were the Canadiens lucky to keep Tampa Bay out of the slot for most of the game (and series)? Nobody talks about the fact that Alex Newhook’s goal was scored on a play where he did exactly as he intended to do. Was he lucky that he got the right bounce on the play that was intended?
