Game #5 Recap: Jackets eliminated in back-and-forth OT loss.

Welcome to my workday stream-of-consciousness noon game recap - this is a scary place to be. Between ignoring my day job responsibilities, tweeting from @cbjcannon, and drinking cold brew I made from whole bean espresso, y’all are in for a wild ride.

First Period:

Pretty standard start, until 5:38 in when Tyler Johnson lands his first goal in the series. I mean, someone had to score first. But then, Blake Coleman has to add insult to injury with the Lightning’s second goal just one minute later.

Come. On.

Fortunately, Alexander Wennberg, an unlikely hero of this year’s playoffs, dings a shot off Vasilevsky and Nick Foligno buries the rebound.
