GDT 11/25 Sabres @ Lightning 7pm et. Msg-b

[miles]

this game is making me so angry. the lightning are committing felonies out there and not being called. larson tells a joke and gets called for 2 penalties. its bull flop

[R_Dudley]

That was a stupid holding penalty by Larson there right at the end of the period. 

How can he not know grabbing a guy from waist behind will get called.

Larson loves that penalty box. 

We were just robbed of two penalties, are you f%$^ing kidding me?  How does Larry get a penalty on something stupid like that?

[Thorner]

I just hope he's ok. Head injuries are scary.

[Beer]

Hopefully that elbow knocked Dahlin back into the “generational” path.

JFC, there should be a bench-clearing brawl in the third.

He does tend to fall into penalty trouble.

I don't think it's in his DNA. Guy is like full of valium all the time.

I’ve seen him have a few choice words with refs before but you’re right.  It’s still very subdued

The Dahlin criticism has jumped the shark at this point. Kid is top 20 in D scoring at 19 (the only D-man with 16 or more points playing less than 20 minutes a game) and was a plus 2 headed into today. He was slumping but has been way better lately.

A most unsatisfactory period.

That'll get the conspiracy theorists going.

It's not a conspiracy when it's right out in the open. You can't honestly think the officiating has been even in this game.

WTH is with these refs?  Now a trip goes uncalled.

And a tricky tack on us.

Tampa=MFT.

Dare I say it ... the criticism is ... obnoxious. There’s a clear difference between criticizing his current play. And making broad sweeping definitive statements on his overall ability or talent. Good grief...

[John Tucker]

Of course the damn Lightning feed didn't show a replay of the elbow.  All they said was a strong play by Cernak!!  Effing refs... Have we had a 2 man advantage yet this year??

Do you honestly believe a ref saw that elbow and decided not to call it because of Tampa's status as a top/"favored" team?

I get he’s top 20 scoring and that’s great but he is a defenseman and not a forward.  I would like him to play defense better.  I understand that comes with time so it will be a few years before we see if he is a true star defenseman

Yes. Do you honestly think the ref didn't see it? He was the puck carrier.

If you want to call a blatant elbow to the face a strong play

I know I absolutely believe that some teams get a benefit of the doubt when already down a man... Totally believe that would've been called had it been the other way around

[Tondas]

Third period.  Kill the penalty, then score 2 goals.  Bob's your uncle.
