Key quotes
· 3 pulledIt has been noted that the Montreal Canadiens won Game 7 of their series with the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night with a Stanley Cup Playoff record low nine shots on goal. This is clearly not true. It was eight.
It can only be nine if we are defining 'on' as 'behind,' and 'goal' as 'the goalie's behind.'
The Canadiens won the game, 2-1, and so stole the series despite being dominated by the Lightning in all the ways that the visible eye could discern, provided you're not picky about the scoreboard.
