TAMPA, Fla. — By most accounts, he never panics, always keeping a calm, communicative demeanor on the ice and in the Tampa Bay Lightning’s dressing room. Ben Bishop had at least five reasons to break character following a 5-1 loss to the Rangers on Friday night, but as he leaned against a wall and spoke of his Game 4 debacle, he betrayed little emotion.
Soul-searching might work for the Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist, who allowed six goals in consecutive games and introspectively walked the hockey world through 48 hours of self-analysis.
