NHL: Around the League 49

If Lucic went full Lucic Smith would be paste.

Sure. But what a stupid play. No idea what he's thinking.

Lucic doesn't.

Calgary’s been super-undisciplined the whole playoffs.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

No sympathy for Mike Smith

Their defense hung Markstrom out to dry for at least two of the goals.

That’s not what I’m talking about.

Smith took some contact very liberally a few times already, you can tell the refs know his MO, so they were anxious to send him off for contact protocol which is a good rule IMO. While it sucks if you're okay after big contact it's a good reminder to key players who want to flop at critical times which itself has become a popular thing to do.

I went another direction with the general premise.

Great challenge by the Florida staff

 

[BobbyJet]

Officiating incompetence is hitting an all time low in Tampa tonight. It has taken over 10 minutes to make a decision of whether the puck hit the netting or not. They obviously don't know and have no conclusive evidence but made the call anyway. NO GOAL!

 

[BobbyJet]

And here we go again.

No goal again but they still got it wrong. Cirelli should get a penalty for winning a draw with his hand. DOH!

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Long time to spot a hand pass if they're challenging it.

 

[CourtneyDagger50]

This is hilarious

Can't call a penalty on the review

It's very conclusive, I don't get how you think it's like they dictate the camera crews. Its them that are taking forever to gather the right angle.

No but they showed the angle from over one of the official's (#94) shoulder. He had to have seen the obvious hand pass from the dot but somehow didn't see it .... or didn't call it.

The constant crying about officiating from someone who has watched the NHL for five decades blows my f***ing mind.

If you start calling hand pass penalties in elimination games you better be 1000% sure. They called it just fine.

Meanwhile, with all the delays, Refs wearing their head pieces looking dumbfounded, the casual fan has turned on a basketball game or a movie.

Tampa gets one that sticks

FL outshooting the lightning 39-20 and Tampa still scores first

I mean, maybe in Canada...

The bad bounce goal seems to have broken spirit of Panthers

Lifeless ever since
