NHL; Another Isolation Cup Celebration?

July 5, 2021 3:45 am

The Tampa Bay Lightning insist they are not thinking about winning the Stanley Cup back home in Game 5 despite families not being allowed in Montreal for a potential second consecutive celebration in isolation in Canada. The Lightning are looking to sweep the Canadiens in the final in Game 4 Monday night at Bell Centre. Coach Jon Cooper and captain Steven Stamkos say the team is focused only on the start of the next game and not looking ahead. That’s the product of the Lightning’s recent playoff past falling short in potential close-out games. Stamkos says a lot can happen in a playoff series that makes he and his teammates want to end this one now.
