Watch as Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman Eric Cernak catches Kyle Okposo up high on a big hit late in the third period, and the Sabres’ bench isn’t happy after no penalty was called.

LETSSSS GOOOOOO BUFFAALOOOOOO BABY!!!!!
How Bias can you be?
The best revenge was the makeup call in OT and Lyubushkin scoring a shorthanded breakaway goal in OT
It’s crazy that the NHL has to review a non call for a suspension??? Glad to see the 2 refs system is working so well!
Okposo actually raises his head slightly right before contact and Cernak still caught him in the face. Definitely a dirty hit. Brian Engblom, or w/e his name is, downplaying it is hilarious in all the wrong ways.
The refs this year have been atrocious. Coaches, players and fans across the league have been complaining. The NHL needs to address the issue
If you can call the Marchand slew-foot a slew-foot in video, you can call an elbow an elbow.
love the boys backing up their captain there. refs are blind for missing that. hope okposo is okay with his history of head injuries.
Good to see that Tampa is still Bettmans favourite team!
“The elbow does come up bbbbbbu bbbut but it wasn’t that bad”
Did he loose any teeth?
that number 24 is like 14 years old
Funny how the lighting always have some type of dirty elbow hit against the Sabres. Weak ass team tbh
Who is this announcer? What an absolute joke
Commentator is simping for lighting
Dont forget Okposo's history of concussions. No wonder he was hot.
3 games
Cernak belongs in the ECHL
In a 1 minute time span, they had a no call on the obvious elbow to the head, and then turned around and called a delay of game penalty on Buffalo off of a deflection to give Tampa a PP going into OT. Sabres beat the Zebras and the lightning tonight.
The NHL loves Tampa and hates Buffalo. This should be a suspension, but I doubt the league will even look at it.
These announcers 🤣🤣
One thing on the long list of reasons to love Skinner. He’s always irate when his teammates take cheap shots
Love to see those boys finally fired up
Obvious cheap shot and the Tampa announcer is a complete homer. Moron. But if the Sabres had any grit on their team, Cernak would have left on a stretcher.
that's an elbow
his elbow is pretty tucked in. the worst comment i have heard in a while. buffalo needs to add some size i think or atleast more toughness.
How the Lightning have gone the past 5 or 6 years without being recognized as the dirtiest team in the league is pretty baffling. Yeah they’re good but they’re also a bunch of dirtbags.
Wow these Tampa Announcers are on the Mount Rushmore of biased play by play. “Okposo never saw him coming” – “oh Okposo must have sensed it coming” “well his elbow was tucked in”. Then there reaction to Stamkos OT FLOP of a “trip” (as they saw it). Congrats gentlemen you have hit an all time high in “Homerism”
Guy with a history of flying elbows into people's faces.
Guy he hits, concussion history
Nothing to see here
NHL Refs: What happened now…….?
Ya, it was just an old school elbow right to the head. The NHL is never going to get serious about concussions and hits to the head.
Props to Comrie for knocking the net off to get a whistle.
Josh Allen Jersey in the crowd
What's the issue?
It's Hockey..not tennis.
lol at all the soft buffalo fans in the comments
Dude he literally hit him right in the head with an elbow. He even flown his elbow out like a chicken wing. Didn't realize I was watching Boston's announces
what a bunch of homa announcers! go get a real job at chick fillet
The announcers sound like f ing clowns in this clip.
Tampa slowly creeping up to Boston status on teams to hate.
At least the commentators called out the scrum every time there’s a hit these days
Nothing wrong with that , just wish it was Thompson laid out!! 😝😀🦏
