TAMPA, Fla. – We might really shake our heads when this Stanley Cup final is over and we actually find out what ails Ben Bishop. You have to give it up to the Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender for his ability to push through pain and give his team the best effort he’s had.
That’s why it’s almost unfair that Bishop committed an all-time gaffe Saturday night. If the Chicago Blackhawks go on to win the Cup Monday in United Center, it’s headed to the hockey blooper reels forever.
Bishop basically gift-wrapped the first goal of Game Five with a large Christmas bow.
