This looked very, very bad. The Tampa Bay Lightning have just suffered a crushing blow in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final, seemingly losing their star goaltender Ben Bishop to a serious injury. 

The injury seemed to occur in a perfect storm of mistakes and accidents, with Bishop's mishandling of the puck leading to him reaching behind his net with his stick, which was then pinned against a Penguin's player's body, causing Bishop to twist awkwardly and injure his leg.

Obviously we have no clue how bad it is yet, Bishop will be evaluated by medical staff, but the fact that he was carried off the ice on a stretcher would appear to indicate this was on the serious side of things.
