Game Recap: TB 3 - MTL 6
Torts called out his "core" players after the loss in Toronto, and they responded. Vinny Prospal had a goal and two assists. Vinny Lecavalier and Marty St. Louis both has a goal and an assist. "I think our top players threw it right in my face after we challenged them the other day because they were the best players on the ice." Tortorella said, "I think we battled hard to come back. So we have to just keep on finding the positives and just keep on getting better."
The team did battle. After ending the first period down 2-0, the Bolts came out and put up 3 in the 2nd period, and took a 3-3 tie into intermission.
The third period, however, was all Montreal. Defensive turnovers and odd man rushes took their toll, and the Canadiens put up 3 unanswered goals, a couple of which uncharacteristically got by Ramo, to send the Bolts to their 6th straight loss.
"We fight back in the game and were able to win that second period," St. Louis said. "It was a tough period in the third but I feel like we didn't really make them earn it."
"I feel bad, I let my teammates down after we came back after the first period and what we did in the second period ... I let the team down," said Ramo "I should have had it, I need to be more sharp on those shots."
With the loss the Bolts sit just 2 points ahead of LA for last place in the NHL.
