After a unanimous decision from fans and team principals that it wasnt successful, F1s new qualifying format has been scrapped The F1 supremo added: I am a prudent man, and new things must be tested. The new qualifying caused a bit of shock, but maybe we can salvage the good of the format.One suggestion is for a halfway house solution whereby Q1 and Q2 remain under the new elimination rules while Q3 reverts to the more established format.The idea of stopping the 90-second eliminations after Q2 and running Q3 under the old rules was first floated by team managers during a meeting with FIA race director Charlie Whiting during the second Barcelona test, only for the original idea to be voted through.

The puck, headed for the back of the net, went off Prices toe and bounced into the boards. The goalie called it a lucky save.Its the norm now with him, Montreal forward Torrey Mitchell said. Youre almost not even surprised by it. Most goalies, its in the back of the net. That just gives us that momentum, it gives us such a big boost. You see the confidence that we come out with on the next two or three shifts after those types of saves.Price beat Tampa Bay for the first time in his last eight starts (1-5-2). His previous win against the Lightning was on Dec. 28, 2013.Alex Killorn scored the lone goal for the Lightning, who lost against an Eastern-Conference opponent for the first time this season.

Blown coverage by the Lightning left the Pacioretty all alone on the edge of the face-off circle, and Bishop couldnt see the shot with Andrew Shaw posted firmly in front of goal.World-class goalies dont have chances on those, Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. Look at the goals that went in. They werent gifts. They got the extra bounce and we didnt.It was a pretty even game. It came down to two good teams, chances were probably even and shots were close. It came down to special teams.Price beat Tampa Bay for the first time in his last eight starts (1-5-2).
