Tampa Bay Lightning win 2nd Stanley Cup in 2 years, ending Canadiens’ inspiring run
Montreal Canadiens came up agonizingly short Wednesday in their against-all-odds campaign to end Canada’s 28-year Stanley Cup drought.Instead, it was the Tampa Bay Lightning successfully defending their Cup title, edging the Habs 1-0 at home in a physical, hard-fought nailbiter to claim the series four games to one.The game’s only goal came after 33 scoreless minutes, when Ross Colton — playing in his first Stanley Cup final — tipped home David Savard’s pass as it drifted through the crease behind a surprised Carey Price.Price left the net in the game’s final minute to give the Canadiens an extra attacker, but it was to no avail.
