    I can hear my peewee coach now “play til the whistle!”

    Weird play all around, usually the ref blows the whistle if the goalie hangs onto it for that long, no?

    Yeah, that’s a fuck up on the refs. Par for the course this season.

    Blues fan. Zero skin in this whatsoever. That’s dogshit on the refs.

    Even the linesman was coming in for a draw…horrendous

    Usually the refs will blow quicker when there’s a player going to the net but no one went for it so no hurry to blow it. Maybe play to the whistle next time?

  7. The goalie can get a delay of game penalty for freezing the puck when there is no offensive pressure. It’s a weird way for this to happen since it looked all around like everyone expected a freeze, but it’s actually a good non whistle given the rule.

    What ever happened to the *intent* to whistle or is it the actual whistle? Or is it the intent? Or is it the thought of a whistle?

    Bad look for Tampa. You play until you hear a whistle. They should have applied some offensive pressure that would cause the ref to blow the whistle there. They didn’t, and it cost them.

    I don’t like the lightning at all but wtf was the ref waiting for? Montembault made no move to show he was going to play the puck until everyone began to skate to the benches. It’s a dead ass play. Very poor officiating.

    Fine the refs and make sure they don’t get to officiate any playoff games

    Major fuck up by Tampa.

    Equally major fuck up by the refs

    Loool

    I’m sure the majority of people in here are athletes. What’s one thing coach always says? Play the whistle. Simple. No whistle? Keep er pushing.

    Oddest play I’ve seen in hockey. Send a forward to challenge the goalie and force the whistle. These refs have not been consistent. Can’t rely on the consistency of what happened the past 100 years.

    The ref literally has the whistle up to his mouth. Even the other refs skate away from the play.

    They’ve blown the whistle for less. Thats some bullshit. Ref at the play deserves to be fired. Go be a greeter at Walmart, you bum.

    This was a great game to tune in to randomly btw.
