Tampa forward Ross Colton, after defeating Florida in the second match of the quarterfinal series of the NHL playoffs, did not hide his emotions, describing the actions of teammate Nikita Kucherov.
Tampa won 2-1. Colton became the author of the winning goal four seconds before the end of the meeting, Kucherov gave the pass to the striker.
– When you play on the ice with Kuch, you need to be ready for anything. When I saw the puck behind the net, I just went ahead. Kucherov has eyes in the back of his head. I didn’t even know that he knew I was there. He wrapped the puck for me in a gift box, — quotes the words of Colton official website of the NHL.
Tampa are leading 2-0 in a 2-0 best-of-four series. The next match will take place on May 22.
