Game three of the first round NHL playoff series between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Detroit Red Wings is Tuesday night. The series shifts from Amalie Arena to the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. There are some who say that game three is the pivotal game in a playoff series when the series is tied. There are others that say the critical game is game five. They are all important.
Does anyone really think that the Lightning would not want a do-over on game one? Does anyone think that the Detroit players and fans are not counting themselves fortunate to be tied at this point?
