Bolts hope to save best in nervy Game 7
Canadian Press
6/6/2004
TAMPA, Fla. (CP) - Home has not been a safe haven for the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Stanley Cup final series, but centre Brad Richards was glad to be back on Sunday.
The Lightning arrived home in the late afternoon from Calgary, where a Martin St. Louis goal in double overtime on Saturday night had given them a 3-2 victory that squared the best-of-seven series at three games apiece.
The nervy Game 7 is set for Monday night at the St. Pete Times Forum, where the Flames have won twice in the series so far.
``I'd rather be at home any day,'' Richards said. ``It's going to be exciting.
``We've got our crowd. It's our environment. The only time you feel it's an advantage is in a Game 7. Sometimes Game 1s suck. The other team has nothing to lose and they come in and take it to you. But it's a lot easier to have Game 7 at home.''
The Flames are 10-3 on the road in the playoffs, but the Lightning have another statistic to worry about - they haven't won two games in a row since sweeping Montreal in the second round and winning the opener of the Eastern Conference final against Philadelphia.
For Tampa Bay veteran Dave Andreychuk, all numbers go out the window for Game 7.
``We are trying to concentrate on one thing - going into Game 7 and playing the game of our lives,'' said the 40-year-old, who is seeking the first Stanley Cup of his 22-year NHL career.
``We have given ourselves a chance by winning in Calgary, but by no means will it be easy just because we are at home. We have to realize that. What we're concentrating on now is stopping this little streak of not winning two in a row.'' It will be the 11th Game 7 of Andreychuk's career, tying him with St. Louis Blues defenceman Al MacInnis for second place all-time. Scott Stevens of the New Jersey Devils leads with 13 career Game 7s.
``Game 7s are the ones you remember, especially because it's the finals,'' said Andreychuk, whose record is 4-6 in seventh games.
``What I talked about before the (Game 7) against Philadelphia was that, whether you're at home or on the road, it's one game and anything can happen. We have to have our best game.''
The mushy ice at the St. Pete Times Forum so far has seemed to favour tight-checking Calgary over the Lightning, whose attacking style is better suited to a harder, truer surface.
But on the Lightning's side is their new-found resiliency. If their youthful team was prone to cracking under pressure, they would likely not have survived Game 7 against the tough and experienced Flyers.
Game 6 against Calgary was another test they passed, although controversy lingers over whether an apparent goal by the Flames Martin Gelinas in the third period should have counted.
Lightning defenceman Darryl Sydor, who won a Stanley Cup with Dallas in 1999, said he has seen a similar determination among his Tampa Bay teammates.
``I have seen a lot of the same things with our team as we have made this journey to the final game,'' said Sydor. ``It's like an old dream.
``Everybody is starting to realize what it is going to take to win that final game.''
A danger in Game 7 is coming out to strong, he said.
``We need to control our emotion. I think that's been our downfall here. We want to do so well and get it done, but I think that sometimes less is more.'' For coach John Tortorella, the deciding game will come down to the top players ``making big plays at big times.''
He got that in Game 6, when Richards scored a pair of power play goals and St. Louis, who had been checked to a standstill for most of the game, found a way to score the overtime winner.
St. Louis, the NHL scoring leader this season, has scored in consecutive games and appears to be getting hot.
``In the playoffs, when you have the type of reputation that he's built, he's going to get attention and teams will try to shut him down,'' Tortorella said of St. Louis. `` At times, Calgary's done a good job of that, as we've done with Jarome Iginla at times.
``But big-game players don't just give in to it. They find a way to make a big play and that's what happened.''

Hodge: NHL needs to re-vamp review rules
TSN.ca Staff
6/7/2004
As conspiracy theories go, this one is actually a bit more believable than Darryl Sutter's claim that the idea of the Flames winning the Stanley Cup makes the NHL cringe.
This one says the NHL wants Calgary to win, so it won't have to re-live Martin Gelinas' phantom goal/no goal over and over again--so it won't have to resort once more to its standard response--"that's our story and we're sticking to it."
Did the NHL invent that expression or just adopt it?
Brett Hull's goal in 99 --"We reviewed it and it was legal."
Kerry Fraser's re-assignment --"It had more to do with continuity than with the outcry in Calgary."
Gelinas --"Replays inconclusive."
That's the latest story they're sticking to.
And maybe there was, and still is no way of determining, beyond any doubt, where that puck was in relation to the goal-line, but that only proves that the NHL needed much more time than it took to make that ruling on the spot.
Countless times in far less-important games, we've seen the NHL delay face-offs at centre ice for trivial looks at close calls.
That there was no such extra time spent pouring over these replays is unfathomable - except, of course, if nobody realized the need to look at them until it was too late.
ABC television presented the evidence just in time, but play proceeded as if nothing had happened, and we are left to believe one of two things -- the NHL completed a full investigation, or the NHL didn't even start one.
In Game Seven, we'll find out if it mattered, but even if it didn't, it's about time the NHL did a review of its reviews -- the national football league system that puts the onus on the teams to call for challenges is far better.
On Saturday, if it had been the Flames' responsibility to call for a replay delay, maybe it would have been done, but if it hadn't been done, it would have been Calgary's fault.
Surely the NHL would prefer that - conspiracies aside, of course.

The nice thing is that if Calgary gets the next one, they're still in this by a long shot. A fluke goal can happen in a matter of seconds. That's all it takes.
Even if they aren't getting scoring chances, if they still skate hard (which they still are - throwing hits and all)... they'll draw penalties... a quickie PPG and it's equally as good.
Just about the worst part right now for Calgary is Tampa is just dumping that s#it right out the second it comes in... Calgary can't quit. It only takes seconds...
Tampa: "safe is death"... well if they do that... they're screwing themselves... this could be a shaky one for them...
