“The Tampa Bay Lightnings can’t lose”
“Anton Strålman, after the new victory: ”We are showing character””
“NEW YORK. It does not seem to play any role in what happens – in any way successful superior league leaders Tampa win anyway.”
“Against Montreal in the night, they were under 2-0, catch up, ended up in the new disadvantage, turned to the 4-3 lead, ended up again in 5-4-a disadvantage – and finally won with 6-5.”
“– We are showing character, but do not make it easy for ourselves. It would be nice if, one day, we realized that a good defensive will not hamper our offense, “says goalscorer Anton Strålman to Sportbladet”
“Yes, the duel between divisionsrivalerna Tampa and Montreal in Amalie Arena was a real Wild west show.”
“Hemmafansen was thrown between hope and despair through the evening, but finally got to go out in the Florida heat, with joy in the heart – thanks to young Adam Erne. He levelled the Habs 5-4 lead in the middle of the third period and also set 6-5 when a little over one minute remaining.”
“”Was not fun to only win 3-1…””
“– Yes, chuckles Anton Strålman, when we are talking with him afterwards, we apparently thinks it is fun to just win with 3-1…”
“– We are showing character when we come out and tajtar to it in the third period, they were not given much leeway when. But we do not make it easy for ourselves who end up in these situations all the time. It would be nice if, one day, we realized that a good defensive will not hamper our offense. We will produce no matter how we play defensively. Then it is well as good to make it good, he he.”
“”Feels good to contribute offensively””
“One of the produced in the night were ”Strålle” itself. He scored his second goal of the season and played up to it”.
“– Yes, it was fun. I am in the first place such as stay-at-home, and so to say take care of the house, but you get a chance, it feels of course good to be able to contribute offensively, he continues.”
“the Lightning now lead the overall table with eight points margin – and it gives a pleasant feeling of security.”
“– Yes, it is clear that it is nice to have the margin. Now we have done points in fourteen games in a row, I think it is. The suite we will of course not be able to maintain, will sooner or later slumps and losses. Then it’s nice with such a pillow. We want to especially divisionstiteln, it is important, explains Strålman.”
“Also, Victor Hedman accounted for two points, in the form of framspelningar, against Montreal .”
