Stars   2  OT2

Bolts   1

Errrrmmmmmm....have we not seen this before? Tampa starts a series losing the first 2 at home and forced to try and get back into the series on the road! It has happened before but can GM Ferr do it again?? He is going to have to or his season as well as the BRHL season will come to an abrupt end. Lets not all just throw in the towel just yet however as both of these games have gone to at least 1 overtime and both squads have had ample opportunities to blow the other out. Through 2 games the total margin of difference is 2 goals so things could turn quickly, especially if one of these tenders have a slightly off night. Despite both games going to overtime both teams are going into the next game healthy and both will have 100% ready to go tenders, the question will be if Tampa stays with Quick or changes to Smith. Quick has been outstanding all playoffs and was again this night but he is 0-2 in the finals so Tampa may need a shake-up more then the change. Also of note has been the lack of production from sniper Anders Lee, since returning from injury Lee has been a total non-factor but up until now Tampa has continued to win. With Tampa digging themselves into a pretty deep hole they will most certainly need more from him if they expect to be crowned champs! Stars up 2-0 returning to Dallas
