Game Thread: Tampa Bay Lightning(2) vs. Montreal Canadiens(3) | ECQF

I'll go so far to say it's been an amazing first round so far

Hope the second can keep it up

yes they have, and they've all been competitive. Even the games that started out as stinkers rebounded and wound up close, minus the Wings/Bruins game earlier today.

Stamkos goal or MTL empty netter.....make the call

I like the Jon Cooper death stare as he walked off the ice...

Refs contribute to the ending of this series

 

[Comeds]

True but it was still a shit call, if anything Price made the contact

I didn't like the call. I was just saying why the ref waited until the puck was in the net to make a call.

Tense 3rd, whew.

Tampa got robbed. Hopefully this will push the league to make goaltender interference calls reviewable

Not surprised to see the majority of complaining about tonight's game coming from Leafs fans. Yes it was a bad call, but can't say for sure Tampa would have won tonight anyway

At the very least they would have gotten it into overtime - when that call happened it was 2-1 and then I think the Habs scored right after that

Well you never can tell how both teams would react after Tampa goes up 2-1. The game probably wouldn't have gone the same way

Tampa wouldn't have gone up 2-1, it was already 2-1 Habs at that point - game probably could have been different if things changed but I think that game would have went to OT the way the Bolts were coming along

Montreal always gets the calls in Montreal. Why is this a shock to anyone. In the end though they was the better team for most of the game.

The whole argument about bias refs and fixed games is like the same for me as watching the hangover III a waste of time there was no point

As long as you're drinking, it can't be that much of a waste of time

Game was tied 1-1 when that play happened. Gallagher scored 4 minutes or so after it was waved off to give Mtl a 2-1 lead.

Well fuck you for blowing my theory to hell


Lol

Good to see the league keeping the only Canadian team in the playoffs. What a shit show of a series.

 

[Comeds]

LOL, I dont like the call but no one is "keeping" Montreal in this series. They won a sloppy evenly played game one, they close to dominated game two, and they outplayed Tampa last night. If the goal counts do I know Montreal comes back and wins the game? Of course not, just like if it counts no one knows that Tampa wins or takes the game to over time.

Are the refs forcing Tampa to keep turning the puck over? Thats the difference right there.

 

[SLY]

I'm just being an asshole. I didn't even watch the game, I just saw all the hysteria surrounding the no goal and decided to throw some fuel on the fiya.

Google Translate

Not the best translation, but the gist of the story is that the Montreal Police are reminding people of the ordinance against "Spontaneous Assembly". I guess because of the times that that leads to spontaneous dis-assembly of something nearby.
