Lightning @ Blackhawks
Tampa Bay 2 Chicago 1 (ot)
Lightning zap sorry Hawks
Dogged by connection problems and lag, the Tampa Bay lightning came good when it mattered to take the two points in keenly contested match up.
After a scoreless and even first period (Hawks led in shots 8-6), the Blackhawks took the lead when Bryan Smolinski took a feed from Radim Varbata at the top of the right circle and wired a wrister past the stranded Lightning netminder. shortly after that unfortunately both GM's got disconnected from the game and indeed the EA servers and GM eeedowls needed to do a reboot to get things back up and running. As there was nine minutes left in the second period, we decided to follow GUG guideline and just go straight to the third (first period of a new game). Well, the break seemed to do the Lightning a lot of good as they came out and pounded the Blackhawk net for nearly the entire period. They finally got their just reward the Fedotenko crashed the net and the puck dribbled the Khabibulin's legs and into the net with just fourteen seconds left on the clock to force OT.
Well, the Hawks had been here before, last season letting the Red Wings score in the last seconds before conceding again in OT to lose the game, and it was deja vu as a streaking Vincent Lecavalier one timed a beauty just a minute into overtime to send the lightning back to Florida with two well earned points.
Shots on Goal (as close as I could get them)
Chicago 16
Tampa Bay 25
Three Stars (my choice)
1. Vincent Lecavalier (TB)
2. Ruslan Fedotenko (TB)
3. Bryan Smolinski (Chi)
Great game Angus - thanks for your patience while we sorted out our problems - I wonder how the Madden game went against OTH?!

Let's just say the Madden game went really well for one team, and really bad for the other. ;)
Angus won something big to something little.
