#Notes
* In my personal experience we generally do better when allowing 2 or fewer goals in a game. Try to do better defensively Bolts, your playoff fate depends on it

Vasilevskiy love you but you gotta have that
That was…a game.
Oh boy hope Chicago is ready to get run over
Can’t be too upset about this one, the boys played great. Our mistakes (and the refs) costed us, which sucks, but we outplayed a very good road team.
Boys played absolutely insane tonight. What a game. Pretty damn obvious it was one sided with the Refs, but whatever. Team looked good tonight. Let’s go Bolts!
Sick and fucking tired of these missed calls against us dude. Fucking miracle come back ruined by this bullshit AGAIN
Boys fought back and somehow got a point kuch is heating up. Also for people who hate pulling the goaltender it works 1 out of 100 so its worth it
Yeah cause fuck a tripping penalty
Vasy has to be better, that was our game to win
anyone get those fights posted?
That was a tough loss. Played a really solid game and thought they deserved better. Great to see them fight back and get a point.
Kelly Sutherland is a terrible fucking ref. If his wife EVER cheats on him, he would blame the other man and knowing what? IT PROBABLY FUCKING ALREADY HAPPENED TO HIM CUZ HE’S SUCH A BASTARD AND HIS KIDS ARE PROBABLY ONES AS WELL. His Yearly Christmas Family photos probably look like ones from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, where every kid is different, and he’s too blind to even see it. Fuck Sutherland, and fuck the officiating from this game.
Find-a-ways showed some real fight and polished the hell out of the turd the refs laid out on the ice tonight.
Despite the loss, do y’all think the Bolts clawing their way back into this game shows at least a little trend in the right direction?
Also, I’m just gonna say it: Vasy absolutely should’ve had at least two of those goals, including the OT winner.
Third game we’ve lost this calendar year alone in OT from a blatant no call. I understand not wanting to decide OT with penalty but a no-call is the same effect.
There were games that the boys played this season that they deserved to lose, this wasn’t one of them. The fight and grit were amazing to see. This loss is tough because they didn’t lose this game, the refs decided the win.
I don’t watch many non-Lightning games. Is Kelly Sutherland an absolute shit show for other teams like he is for us? Leaky goal by Vasy, but it shouldn’t have even happened in the first place. Same thing with their second goal. Oh well.
3 on 3 and shootout losses are kinda random, we played great tonight just didn’t convert as well as Vegas did. Good to see us back on our game, if we play like that moving forward we should be just fine
We missed Heddy badly.
Get well soon. We’re raring and ready to go.
Glad they came back and look to be back in order somewhat regardless of the lost or not. That was a rare softy from Vasy there and maybe you shouldn’t give up an SH Goal. But I can’t ignore the refball, or refkey, whatever you want to call it. A clear trip that leads to the events of that Vasy softy. Completely unacceptable. But that’s an understatement at this point.
I would like to cordially invite this officiating crew to go fuck themselves.
Eleven
Eleven short-handed goals allowed this season.
So far… 😑
Btw, thanks Oilers for beating Boston and making me feel slightly better. Fuck Boston
I thought we played well, I feel like we dominated the 2nd. That’s was the most wild game I’ve been to in person
Honestly outside of our powerplay being dog shit and vasy looking pretty terrible I feel like that was the most complete game I’ve seen us play in weeks.
Call me crazy, but if we play like this for the rest of the year, Toronto will have to watch their backs
Probably the best game I’ve been to this season, and I’ve been to like 90% of the home games.
Refs were absolutely terrible though
This one stings because of our recent record, but taken on its own it wasn’t a bad loss and I’m not mad about it. The boys played really well and with a ton of intensity, and overall it was just a really fun game to watch. If we continue to play like this then I’ll be happy.
I CANT even be mad. We clawed back and got a point. But geez , these refs should have taken us out to dinner first good lord. Don’t blame any of these on Vasy, he is only working with the defense in front of him.
How many fucking times are we going to lose in overtime because of a blatant missed call?
Horrible officiating tonight. Glad we got a point from this and showed some drive to win.
Showed a lot of fight coming back tonight, so glad they got a point, but this short-handed goal shit needs to stop.
Love Kuch’s all-around game tonight, but if shoots right away there in front of Quick, he walks it off.
Everyone’s talking about the OT trip no call but what about Stamkos getting called when Kuch was tripped, or the no call interference on serg?
What a $hit$how of reffing.
We came back to tie and got a point, refs sucked more than usual tonight. Got a good 5 vs 5 brawl as well.. onto Saturday…
OK. My fault. I swear, each time I watch a game they lose.
I’m pretty sure I scared the shit out of everyone at Wulfaven by how loudly I expressed my disappointment at the OT goal lol. That puck moved in slow motion istg.
