It’s safe to say that Thursday night’s game will not be included on Ben Bishop’s Vezina Trophy demo tape.
The Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender has been one of the NHL’s best this season, but he’d probably like one 15-second span against the Calgary Flames to be stricken from his memory.
Two boneheaded passes by Bishop from behind his own net directly led to two absolute gift goals for the Flames in rapid succession — so rapid that the on-screen scoreboard barely had time to update before Calgary potted its second.

The Flames beat Bishop again late in the third and added an empty-netter to seal the 4-1 win.
Hopefully, they let him put his arms down to throw out the first pitch.
