The benefit of 2010 OT goal reaction was Kane knew he scored, so he commences to celebrating while players/stripes weren't sure. This one was funny cause Kadri was still giving puck effort after he scored.
On Kane's goal, I was watching Sharp the entire time thinking Kane was going to feed him a backhander at the top of the circle. Didn't even see Kane shoot, just saw Sharp's reaction lol.

The Avalanche had 6 players on the ice for the winning goal. Shouldn't have counted but they didn't (couldn't?) review it.

Just delaying the inevitable if they took it back (the series win, not necessarily a game win tonight) but still... stings for TB to have lost on a bad goal.

Also, Chu-chu train is BAE:

The tmm was completely inconsequential as one of the Ava was at the bench, and TB had 7 skaters on the ice at the same moment anyway.

Those who are downplaying Nichushkin's game are off base. Throughout these playoffs he has been one of Avs biggest threats to score on a nightly basis, has good size, can play both sides of the puck effectively and is obviously a guy who shows up for the playoffs.

Nuke is having a playoff run exactly like Bickell and will end up being slightly overpaid, but still a good player if he stays healthy.

A lot of bitching about a TMM that happens many times in every single game throughout the year. And TB can't complain about shit, since they got a way with 7 guys on the ice last year in the ECF.

I've never been to Ottawa, but literally everything I've heard is that the Sens barn is in the middle of nowhere and a pain in the keister to get to. This would seemingly be right in the heart of Ottawa, so potentially a gamechanger move for their franchise.

Never been myself but from descriptions and pictures it would seem (Or at least was) like putting an arena outside of Peotone for Hawks to play in

Not gonna lie it was kind of poetic justice watching Kadri score a goal on a missed call after he got tripped wide open in the slot in the last few minutes of the third with no call.

Distance-wise the Canadian Tire Center is as far from downtown Ottawa as the United Center is to O'Hare
Really can't compare the 2. O'Hare isn't the outskirts of the market, millions of people live a highway away in every direction.

Ottawa's metro area is about the size of Milwaukee. It'd be like putting the arena in rural Kneeland, 20 minutes south of downtown and 30+ from all the affluent northern suburbs.

Actually, there was a multitude of non-calls in the 3rd period .... with seconds to go in regulation a blatant hook against a TB player who had Kuemper down with a wide-open top half of the net. Meanwhile, the early minors against Stamkos and Hedman were a product of the refs trying to even up the penalties (even though they didn't exist).
IMO, Cooper was absolutely right in his carefully worded post-game interview. Thankfully he was smart enough to get out of there.

Lazy line changes happen a dozen or so times a game. Much ado about nothing.
I thought there was even an extra Tampa player on a sloppy change that play. It happens all the time and they were not calling anything midway through the 3rd on. it had to be something like a high stick to get called or boarding.

I f***ing love Nazem Kadri so much.

As much as it still hurts not having him with the Leafs, I'm so damn happy for him and I'm glad he's on a team I can enjoy rooting for (unlike Bagel . . .)

Pretty much nothing was getting called from the end of the second on. And there were calls that could have been made against both teams. The refs had put away their whistles, and that wasn't going to change for a ticky-tack tmm penalty.

If anybody on the Bolts, players or coaches, thought it was too many men, how come absolutely no one said a word about it until Coopers presser? The answer is because it wasn't an egregious tmm.

Coopers' "my heart breaks for my guys" bullshit is laughable. Especially considering the Bolts have been holding sticks and running picks the entire playoffs, without getting called.

Exactly. Much more blatant penalties went uncalled that could have easily ended the game sooner. All 4 refs missed it, so clearly it didnt affect the play that much.

My heart breaks for my players BS, please, maybe they should have ended the game sooner or stopped Kadri from scoring.

All four officials, and everybody on the Lightning.
