4. Blake Coleman Game Winner, Game Two 2021
This was not the first time seeing Blake Coleman diving to score a big goal in the playoffs. His second period goal in game two in 2021 might have sealed the Lightning’s fate as eventual champs.
Game two was the best game Montreal played in the series. They came ready to play and were better than the Lightning for much of the first two periods. Coleman’s buzzer-beating goal in the dying seconds of the second was the ultimate back breaking goal where in that moment you kind of knew there was no way Montreal could win this game or make a comeback in the series.
This goal was the perfect encapsulation of Blake Coleman and Barclay Goodrow. Two unbelievable efforts on one play to take the spirits out of Montreal. When thinking about what these two trade deadline acquisitions from 2020, look no further than this play that just about made the Lightning champs.
