@ReviewLightning You sign him and play him here and there on night you think are going to be more physical

You are Julien BriseBois. Scott Sabourin is interested in resigning with Tampa Bay. He just completed a league-minimum contract. What's your move?

@PointSpecialist @bhags38 I know, but if we do make that trade, we have Geekie, James or Paul as the 2C. If you trade Point, you’re looking to get someone that can play center or at least sign one in free agency.

@Maniaked @bhags38 Idk Blake has been a demon, Nadeau is promising they have no room, both those guys inserted into the T6 and you have your new stamkos RH OT

#GoBolts #SoundTheSiren

@PointSpecialist @bhags38 Trading a 40 goals scorer for depth pieces is very risky

@Maniaked @bhags38 There’s almost no risk with this for TB

@MoserNorris We have 15m in free cap space on a weak free agency class. There is no reason not to sign him.

That Raddysh quote does not sound good in regards to him staying

@iAmNickWize He wasn’t bad in my opinion. He created a lot of chances and shot the puck at every chance he got. Dobes was just that good.

Me after Game 1: “Kucherov has to be better in the playoffs” Twitter after I said that: “you don’t know puck” Twitter after game 7: Kucherov should be traded he sucks in the playoffs. Me: No #GoBolts

@DrakeMT As a lightning fan I 100% agree with that. They shouldn’t look for make up calls or to even the PP opportunities.

It definitely reads as a makeup for the Matheson high stick, but FFS just call the game in front of you and you don't have to do that.

@BoltsJolts It was an obvious call unfortunately.

Just can’t make it up man. Ignore no less than 6 blatant penalties ignored for the Habs and they call a simple battle on Guentzel. Probably the weakest of the infractions let go in the period. Hilarious.

@BoltsJolts I love near Montreal and most fans I know are extremely bias. Even the media, the habs can’t do no wrong.

Do not breathe on a Hab funny because I guarantee the refs are looking for reason right now.

@ReviewLightning I live near Montreal. Even the media here is so bias towards the Habs it’s unbelievable. I think a lot of their fan base reflect what they ear in the media.

1. Habs fans call for their team to literally cripple Kucherov 2. Habs players chase, slash, and cross-check Kucherov throughout each game 3. Refs call a cross-check against a Habs player for shooting Kucherov into the boards 4. Habs fans: "EMBELLISHMENT! EMBELLISHMENT!"

@FrankNad @WeTheThunderPod The refs sucks for both teams, it just seems like a bunch of habs fans act like they are against them without taking into a count all the favorable calls/non calls they also received. My feed is full of that lately and it’s annoying lmao Good luck to you too.

@Maniaked @WeTheThunderPod You're right, forget this one. You got it, both teams are good and every games could have go both ways. My point is 'stop blaming the refs'. Other than that we should have a nice matchup for the end, no shame to lose this one for any of the 2 teams, good luck to you.

How often do you see this not called? 99% of the time?

@sam_lionetti @DrakeMT I agree that James definitely reacted late. But it was a clear high stick on the play. You can complain about no embellishment penality sure. I heavily disagree on the Kucherov “dive”. He would not risk an injury like that.

@Maniaked @DrakeMT Sure, but both teams got some ridiculously soft calls. Even with this new angle on the Kappy “high stick” I don’t see definitive contact and James 100% goes for a sell. Don’t get me started on that performance from Kuch. Habs gotta finish better and refs need to chill.

Can't you just give us that one since the last one was completely fabricated and embellished?

@FrankNad @WeTheThunderPod So looking at the box score, it was a goal on the soft Guentzel penality. Also, you can look at an other angle and it wasn’t a phantom call, the high stick happened a bit earlier. Just stop the excuses, your team is good, but lost fair and square.

@Maniaked @WeTheThunderPod We didn't score on that one and are you saying that slashing (soft or not) is the same as faking a high stick ???

@_JordanDecker The refs were awful for both teams tonight. Stop it with the excuses. Matheson dove to give you a 5-3. A soft slash on Guentzel that lead to the Caulfield goal. Obviously was a phantom call on Kapanen too tho.

Cooper can thank the refs for that one. Literally won the game because of a phantom call…

@FrankNad @WeTheThunderPod The Guentzel “slash” on Dobes.

@Maniaked @WeTheThunderPod Tell me which one we did score on ...

@MikeBartner Obviously Kucherov would risk an injury to get a PP.

HE DEFINITELY milked the injury after they blew the whistle, but to call that a total dive is insane.

The thought of Kucherov diving shoulder first into the boards

@HabsChronicle Yeah one of the smartest player in the e league would risk an injury to get a PP. dumbass take.

Yet another dive. Kucherov probably hurt himself for flopping so hard.

@FrankNad @WeTheThunderPod both teams scored on a bad call. You can’t complain.

@WeTheThunderPod How often do you a sucker like James fake a high stick?

@GogglesPaesano2 @BoltsJolts Tampa top 6 forwards are significantly better lmao. The main difference so far is the depth and montreal’s ability to block shots

@BoltsJolts lol Tampa has no depth and the Habs top 6 forwards are better Dobes is out playing Vassu and Tampa’s goon shit is helping Montreal

TB and MTL are pretty evenly matched overall. TB has a slight edge on paper in most areas but it’s not much. The difference so far in this series has been MTL executing at a higher level. Less mistakes, more chances. That needs to change starting tonight.
