This is why the game should've been postponed for starters with half of Tampa's regs out. Also, not calling up the only goaltender from Syracuse worth anything, Miftakhov, basically ensured this game was over before it began. Tampa could've won this game with some NHL quality netminding, but not with bad AHL level tending. In the end, the Panthers fans can celebrate a rather meaningless win like they've won the Cup(as per usual with them), and the Lightning will just beat them when the games really matter(also as per usual).
