Asked earlier in the day what he anticipated from Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said he expected his team to be “way the heck better in the first 10 minutes”ť than it was three nights earlier in a Game 1 loss.
If Tampa Bay could weather the energy and excitement inside Ball Arena, Cooper said, it would be okay.
It couldn’t, and it wasn’t.
Not “by a country mile,”ť to use another Cooper phrase.
The Avalanche jumped out to a two-goal lead in the first eight minutes and extended their advantage to three before Saturday’s game was 14 minutes old. Until the final minute of the period, Colorado had more shots in the back of the net than Tampa Bay had shots on goal.
By the time the final buzzer sounded, the Lightning’s 7-0 loss was one of the worst in Stanley Cup final history.
