While the Rangers were finding another way to lose to the Caps, the Canadiens lost to the Lightning in the worst way imaginable. They one upped us losing to Tampa with a second left to fall behind 3-0 in the series.
Imagine being a second away from overtime in a game you fought back in and controlled. Imagine needing it after dropping the first two games on home ice to a opponent you can’t beat. You cannot make it up. With only 11 seconds left in a tie hockey game, a careless Canadiens turnover at the Tampa blueline allowed Ondrej Palat to come in transition with Victor Hedman, who found Conn Smythe candidate Tyler Johnson for the Game 3 winner at a wild environment in Tampa. How wild? Try this on for size.

Awesome fan reaction in the newly featured #MyPlayoffsMoment. These are fun to watch when they don’t involve your team losing. The Lightning are one win away from the Conference Final.
