NEW YORK – After shutting out the New York Rangers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final, Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Ben Bishop was asked about a significantly more painful moment before the Sunday night contest at MSG.
Did he take a puck to a “delicate region” during warm-ups?
“You hit the nail on the head there,” he told Scott Oake of Hockey Night In Canada, as millions of fans wince simultaneously.
Bishop took a Nikita Nesterov shot to the lower extremities, crumpled to the ice and left warm-ups.
