How about getting out of a no-out, bases-loaded jam? It was Stamkos’ second of the game. — Taking a look at the Miami Hurricanes and their work on the recruiting trail. Later this morning, we take a look at the future of Jonathan Huberdeau what with him going into the final year of his contract and all. Here at Florida Hockey Now, we’re looking at the future of a number of players as the offseason plods along. After losing the first two games of the series following a lengthy break courtesy of the sweep of Florida, the Lightning stormed back to life and won what turned out to be the final four games of the series.

“The playoffs at times can be a war of attrition, and I think in the end the layoff helped us. If there is one takeaway this team needs to learn it’s find a way to take the opportunity presented and close teams out. He tried gutting it out, but was visibly not a 100% and didn’t play in the third period. It’s a lot of hockey in a short amount of time,” Jacob Trouba explained. Simply put, even for a young team like the Blueshirts, it was just too much hockey in a short amount of time. The Rangers struggled to score in this series past the second period of Game 3.

Steven Stamkos scored two goals and the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning are headed to the Stanley Cup Final for the third straight year ...

He made some unbelievable saves to keep them in it, but I think I just felt kind of a calming presence because of the group,” Stamkos said. "They found a way to get the big goal at the big time.” They are trying to become the first to win three straight championships since the New York Islanders claimed four in a row from 1980-83. NOTES: The Lightning played again without forward Brayden Point, who’s missed 10 games since suffering a lower-body injury during Tampa Bay’s Game 7 victory over Toronto in the first round. “And the fact that they they have every excuse in the world to not win because nobody would fault them by saying hey, you won one, you won two and to come back and and go for a third. He was the NHL’s leading goal scorer the previous two postseasons. “It was just one of those nights where whether it was the next shift after, whether I scored or someone else scored, it was just a feeling that we were going to get it done.” “I was just confident in our group that we would find a way, whether it was in regulation or was in overtime. But we played well, we battled hard, we had a chance to win all those games," Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said. “You’re still not at the end of our goal, but in saying that this group is pretty amazing and pretty special.” He gave us a chance to win every night. That was the feeling we had from puck drop.”

The New York Rangers were eliminated by the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the NHL's Eastern Conference Final. As the Rangers' surprise playoff run comes ...

The Rangers played more than 1,200 minutes in this postseason, but the single definingminute came in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final against the Lightning. It may not sound like much to a casual observer of the sport, but in that minute, the Rangers kept the Lightning pinned in their zone with a series of keep-ins and corralled loose pucks. But part of the fun of this team was the feeling that all of this wasn’t supposed to be happening yet — that the rebuilding process was getting results sooner than it was supposed to. The Rangers will enter next season with the weight of expectations for the first time in years. But the thing with a season like this is you only get one of them. But the Rangers weren’t supposed to even make the playoffs this season in the eyes of many experts. They won the first two games of the Eastern Conference Final while playing their best hockey of the year, then jumped out to a 2-0 lead in Game 3 before Tampa Bay took command and never let up.

They had to go through growing pains – emphasis on pain – just like the Rangers are going through at the moment. Before ascending to the heights they’ve been at for three years running, the Lightning had their share of letdowns and underachievements. They’ll learn from their experience and be much more of a post-season threat next year.

The Rangers have signed RW Vitali Kravtsov to a one-year, one-way $875k deal.

Given the relatively uncertain state of the Rangers’ right wingers going into next season, Kravtsov could have a strong opportunity to earn an NHL job and hold onto it. Kravtsov originally left for the KHL at the start of this season after failing to make the Rangers’ team out of training camp, and his reportedly strained relationship with Rangers GM Chris Drury was thought to be a factor in creating his steadfast resistance towards continuing his development with the AHL’s Hartford Wolf Pack. While that resistance to taking the developmental path the organization likely preferred for him has made him a bit of a controversial prospect, Kravtsov’s potential is undeniable. Dan Milstein’s Gold Star Hockey announced today that winger Vitali Kravtsov signed a one-year, one-way contract extension with the New York Rangers. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that the one-year deal carries an $875k cap hit, which is a decrease from the $925k cap hit he carried on his entry-level deal as a top-ten pick.
