Heck of a game tonight. I've been listening to most of the game on XM radio, the Lightening feed. Phil Esposito was NOT happy with the officiating. But the Lightening just scored with six men on the ice (missed...)

Missed goaltender interference call...check.
Missed holding-the-stick call...check.
Missed too many men call...check.
Yep, sounds like a normal, run-of-the-mill NHL ref game to me!
Almost makes me long for the keen officiating of Dan Marouelli. Almost. (insert disappointingly non-existent suicide emoticon here)

Yeah, that too many men was bull?. They somehow always manage to catch it when it’s inconsequential/has no impact on the play; yet when it matters........ blinders on.
I was just hoping VGK would show up tonight. Looks like that’s not happening.
2nd period decided this game. Patches hit the post on a quasi-breakaway...then Martinez had basically the same look he had when he clinched the Kings' 2014 cup...just missed the corner of net Price gave him. Then there's Fleury's botched poke-check on the GWG...these are the little things that make the difference in a tight playoff game. Vegas better get some rest, tighten things up, and take Game 3, or else I might end up like Nicholas Cage's character in Leaving Las Vegas (but I'd use better quality vodka ?).
I watched two periods, pretty exciting fan. (wife always asks - your team is out, why do you watch. Answer: stress free quality hockey - just like football woman!)
What a brutal mistake by Fluery. His Matrix gets glitched every now and then. So frustration. Now it’s going to overtime.
Well, we deserved to lose that game. Shooting a puck from Pluto on Price isn’t exactly a smart move.
Total bummer. Looked like they were going to steal the win there. Better rebound real good in Game 4. Watch, Fleury will look like the second coming of Ken Dryden and post like a 58 save shutout or something crazy like that. I also think he should wear this jersey, as a gag:
Here's to hoping he can "catch fire" in Game 4!
Get that rag off of the forum.
Tough break for Fleury, the replay is hard to watch.
WOW, hell of a finish tonight. Hell of a save by Pollack in front of an empty net. A warm evening here in Maryland, too nice to watch TV inside. I watched the game out on the patio on the laptop.
That was something else! This year's playoffs are doing wonders for mental health during a pandemic. Absolutely fantastic so far.
This has to be the worst officiated game of the playoffs, the NHL should be ashamed of this officials performance.
McDavid drew a total of 0 penalties the entire Oilers/Jets series, I would tend to agree.
Oh, My Word! Espo on the air. Coaching, or commenting? One of my favs in Boston 1969.
The Lightning put an absolute Ass whooping on the Islanders. Good thing there’s a few more games. Wow
