Well, well, well

Just like I said yesterday, any team scoring three goals against New Jersey's Martin Brodeur really ought to win the game. What's surprising, though, is the Lightning came back to beat the Devils, 3-2, with Vinny Lecavalier getting the game-winner.

Tampa Bay's Johan Holmqvist shook off his Game 1 jitters to stymie New Jersey, especially the diminutive Brian Gionta as time ran out. Maybe this team does have a little fight left in it.

Now that the series is tied 1-1, and with the teams heading to Tampa for Games 3 and 4, I'm looking forward to a hounding trip on Monday. I'm hoping, too, that the Devils opt to stay outside of Tampa. If they do, my commute will be considerably shorter.
