The officiating was terrible tn
53-19 Shots in favor of us, and the disallowed goal was the difference, cant be too mad
LGL!
We are just fine, take some days to recover and back at it
TBL back to back 1st round exits this year.
Paul is a very good coach, Florida will be fine
This was an annoying a** game. Freakin Tampa. BTW, refs sucked again.
Maurice, please stop making excuses for lazy sloppy disinterested Hockey, they put 0 effort. They deserved to have their ass whooped and you should have jumped them for it.
If it wasn’t for the first stammer freak accident goal that oddly flung right from under a skate it probably would have been 3-3 in the third and then anything could have happened. Extremely close game after the first period
Флорида играет как расстроенный рояль. Пол нужно решить сейчас,до начала ПО.
