Tampa is, like, really freakin’ good

The third period comeback was not to be this time around.

In the first encounter between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Philadelphia Flyers, the orange and black erased a 5-1 deficit halfway through the third period to force overtime, before eventually dropping that November matinee at the Wells Fargo Center, 6-5.

The second installment of Bolts-Bullies, this one at the Amalie Arena in December, followed a similar script. Despite opening the scoring, Philly trailed 5-2 entering the third period, and again staged an unlikely comeback to force overtime before, again, ultimately dropping the game 6-5 in the extra frame.
