#Notes

* Well the refs sucked but also we shouldn’t have made those mistakes in the 2nd period to give up those goals

    Frustrating game. Refs absolutely fucking sucked, the puck luck wasn’t there, and we didn’t put away some really good chances, but overall I thought we played better and really should’ve won.

  2. mwGuardBum

    Sat two rows behind our net, difference in the game was goaltending. Refs didn’t help either.

  3. itsyaboikawaiidesu

    Not one to usually complain about the reffing in these postgames, but Jesus were they were brutal today. Absolutely killed any momentum we kept trying to build. Guess they forgot Game Management is a thing.

  4. AutomaticLead

    refs are the most inconsistent trash, funny they can allow Reinhart goal but not this

  5. If anyone is short on funds, betting on the home team when Carter Sandlak is officiating will win 80% of the time so far, which is way better than any model.

    Edit: I misinterpreted—the actual record is 32-7-3, so a 76% win rate and an 80% points percentage for the home team.

  6. dolewhiplash

    Frustrating game but I can’t be too mad at how the team played, things just didn’t go our way.

    Also we didn’t let Drouin score on us so I’m taking that as a win

  7. Bjorn2Kill

    We were already getting goalies by georgiev, getting ref’d too is just excessive.

  8. Now I really hope the Rays come over to Denver in April next year and sweep the hell out of the Rockies.

  9. honkie-mcgee

    I stayed up for this? At least it wasn’t a shutout.

  10. I’m in shock they didn’t call that Mackinnon dive or the Rantaanen hold. Not to mention De Haan getting tripped in exactly the same fashion or Paul and Eyssimont both getting tripped for no calls. We weren’t gonna win anyways but the fact that those calls changed the game really pisses me off.

  11. The referees tonight were:

    Trevor Hanson, 603 games. Started in October 2013

    Carter Sandlak, 54 games, Started in March 2022

  12. toolschism

    How to beat Tampa:

    Get a lead going into the third period thanks to some bullshit calls and a few overturned goals. Wait until the refs completely swallow their whistles, and then just mug the shit out of Kucherov for the entire last 10 minutes of the game.

  13. MonarchChonarch

    Ice was dogshit, refs were dogshit, Georgiev was a pain in the ass the whole night… just not our night I guess but on to the next one

  14. nautica5400

    Gotta figure out something with the bottom 6. 2nd and 3rd lines are a blender while the 4th line has brought absolutely nothing all year.

    It’s basically hoping kuch, point, stamkos can carry us with a dose of hagel.

    Secondary scoring is abysmal rn. If the top guys get shut down, we have 0 chance.

  15. MsstatePSH

    just got home. that was a hard one to attend.

    oh well. Love seeing the Bolts in-person when I can.
