  • Intro:

    Post-game sound after the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the New York Rangers 6-2 on Monday in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Final at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Jon Cooper, Tampa Bay Lightning Head Coach:

    "I've said this before, you walk into that kid's house and you look at the trophy mantle and all you see is trophies of where this kid has won: the Memorial Cup, Calder Cup, World Juniors. Winning follows that kid. And you have to be, you're a special player for that to happen. And Tyler Johnson is not the only one this happens to, but to do it in the greatest league in the world on the biggest stage, in the world's most famous arena, it's pretty impressive. It doesn't get any bigger than that. And I don't know. I can't say enough. He's one of 20 guys that takes the ice for us every night, but he is team first, will first. It's just incredible to watch. Never lets you down."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Alain Vigneault, New York Rangers Head Coach:

    "Well, there is no doubt their top players had a very strong game, and a couple of our guys didn't have their best game tonight."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Tyler Johnson, Tampa Bay Lightning Center:

    "Well, we definitely didn't want to go to Tampa down 2-0. That's always a tough thing to get back, especially against a great team like New York. But I think what we were mainly focused on was the fact that we worked so hard to get into this position and we didn't want to just squander it away. We felt like we played very well in Game 1. We definitely needed more. And I thought the team responded very well tonight and I thought we played a great game."
