The Lightning would score late to beat the Rangers 3-2 and pull the series to within 1. Although it was a tough fought game, the Rangers felt like the Tampa Bay Lightning had a game plan which was hitting a little below the belt.
Gallant shared his thoughts on how he felt the Lightning were being a little ''too rough'' with Rangers goalie Igor Shestgerkin during today's game.
#NYR Gerard Gallant on TBL's clear plan to crowd Igor Shesterkin's crease: «It fazes me more than him. I don't like it, I don't think it's a big part of it. Hopefully, when we talk to the supervisor tomorrow, they'll take care of some of that because It wasn't right.»� Mollie Walker (@MollieeWalkerr) June 5, 2022
One of the examples of the Lightning going to the net, was this play by Corey Perry, who's stick caught Shesterkin in the mask. Although a definite penalty, it's hard to agree with Gallant when his goaltender is trying to dive and draw calls like this.
