GDT: Around the League 2020-21 v24

They had a chance to sweep but they didn't want it.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Hedman looked like garbage on that powerplay

 

[yukoner88]

I guess that mayor gets her wish after all.

watch tampa blow it and they go to a game 6 back in Montreal

 

[CupofOil]

Pretty embarrassing for TB. League tries to gift them the game and they still choke. Expect 10 PP's next game, just to be sure.

I hate to defend Tampa or reffing for that matter but an obvious high stick when the guy is bleeding all over the ice probably should be called.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Shows the difference between Tampa and the rest of the entire damn league lol. Good thing they’re in some real cap trouble this summer with no magical injuries to help them get around it.

You say that now.

You know if the jerseys were reversed it probably wouldn't be.

It was absolutely a call that needed to be made but it's hard not to mention the same thing happening to us.

 

[McRpro]

I'd bet everything I own on Tampa winning game 5. Well not really but I can't foresee them losing it.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

As much as I wanted it over tonight to get on with the offseason, Montreal doesn't go away quietly.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Even if you're rooting against the Habs, how do you not hope for a reverse sweep? It would be even funnier than them getting swept by Columbus.

Not specifically that call, that was fine. I only watched part of the third and Tampa had impunity to hold and hook all period. The usual.

 

[Del Preston]

Reverse sweep.

reminds me of the Oilers
except the Habs always find a way in OT

Meh, I have no sympathy for the Habs who have mastered the hook and hold and carried that style of play all the way to the finals.

Perry definitely would agree with this hehe. Sliced right opened with the ref looking at the play earlier in the playoffs, nadda.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Reverse sweep.

I think the Tampa mayor might have to resign as she'll be blamed and all 11 Lightning fans might storm her office.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

That call pretty much symbolized the entire NHL and why it's an absolute clownshow.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

f***. Offseason delayed.

This.

 

[Cloned]

watch tampa blow it and they go to a game 6 back in Montreal

I hope not.

 

[Oilhawks]

Lol Tampa

NO SWEEP FOR YOU!

Reverse sweep.

This has to be the right play when a team doesn't want to close out a sweep.

They were super casual on that power play. They deserved to lose.

 

[bellagiobob]

I don't either. But the league's love for everything TB is nauseating. We all knew the fix was in at the start of the playoffs, this is just confirmation. Just sucks to be one of the teams that the league hates.

 

[yukoner88]

I hope not.

I enjoy watching things burn....so I kind of do lol

 

[BlackDogg]

I could get behind that.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Amazing that 6'3" 200 lb Jan Rutta couldn't contain an off-balance Josh Anderson; as much as he's overpaid in terms of regular season production, he looks absolutely tank like and has been able to create plays by outmuscling guys like Hedman several times throughout the series.
