When it's mattered most, Bishop has been clutch

It was earlier in the playoffs, and Ben Bishop watchers were on high alert, again, looking for cracks. Forget that Bishop had won Game 7 against Detroit with a shutout. The Montreal Canadiens had won two games after the Lightning had grabbed a 3-0 series lead, and the pressure was on. In other news, Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban suggested Bishop had been “sitting on a horseshoe,” or: lucky.

So there was the supposedly rattled Lightning goaltender after a practice. I told him wouldn’t it be a great idea if he did an interview sitting on a horseshoe, you know, to keep things loose?
