GDT: 4/16/18 - 7:30PM EDT - #1AT Tampa Bay @ #2WC New Jersey [ECQF GAME 3]

[Bolt 45]

Refs missed glaring penalties on both sides tonight.

For instance, somehow........this wasnt called a penalty.

"

Translation: Refs were bad tonight, and it looks to have influenced the outcome.

 

[Master P]

The people on this board blaming the officials are a f**king joke. The Lightning choked. Plain and simple. Accept it.

Just because you keep repeating it doesn't make it true.

 

[Master P]

Please join the main board gdt, shit is lit. Devils fans finally showed up.

The people on this board writing * for months like "Trashilevksiy" or "First round exit" or something like that, are "something I cannot translate".
Maybe I can.
Ridicolous.
And *hole.

 

[Steazy Doo]

I have to question how long someone has been around this game when they say this is a choke.

 

[These Are The Days]

I don't care. In the playoffs, any time you have a 3rd period lead, you're expected to find a way to win. No excuses. I'll gladly take a 3-1 lead coming out of Newark but the Lightning let the Devils back in the series tonight and it's only going to get tougher on Wednesday. They missed an opportunity tonight.

And exactly how is one supposed to find a way to win when Jersey can have like 9 players on the ice and Sergachev goes to box for what's his face running into his ass like he's Mark Sanchez?

Before tonight Cooper was 4-4 in game 3's

Time to shut down that repeat script of yours? Seems like it got stuck some months ago

 

[JoVel]

Anyone have a clip of that Serg's "cheap shot"? Would like to have another look at it.

Don't forget the blatant tripping in the first few minutes. I must've seen the Lightning haul down like 4 guys in 5 minutes

 

[FinnLightning26]

There's a reason so many series are 2-1 and not 3-0. Boston lost and even Nashville is getting their asses kicked. If we win Game 4, everythings fine. If we lose, I would say we're in trouble.

Anyway, we didn't have the puck luck either tonight. We score a goal from those two scrambles 9/10 times. Tonight it didn't go in. The Devils have had a lead in this series for a whopping 7 minutes. That tells a story too.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Frustrating loss. Was winnable, that too many men penalty killed us.

Lightning are falling into a habit of losing the 3rd period. They have to be up by a lot going into the 3rd to win, which was done the last two games, but not this one.

I fully expect a win on Wednesday, the Lightning are pissed, and will come out with fire.

 

[Bolt 45]

Please join the main board gdt, **** is lit. Devils fans finally showed up.

I'm good. It smells like pickles in there.

 

[JoVel]

Looking at the main boards thread...

... where are there roomy parking lots in NJ?

 

[BenedictGomez]

Here it is.

It will probably get referred to the league office for disciplinary review, but I dont think there's enough there to say it was intentional & suspend. The reverse angle does look worse than this view though.

Oh f*** off. Wouldn't call it a choke when the game was tied going into the third period. We had chances to take the lead after their second goal but we couldn't put it in an open net. Shit happens and it's not like the Devils didn't play for their lives. The PK was also the best it's been in a long time. It's a clean slate on Wednesday and I have no doubt in my mind we will win that game.

 

[Steazy Doo]

If anyone wants a laugh, read the Hedman cheap shot on Hischier thread.

I'm the one with the repeat script?! That's pretty damn funny. Losers blame officials. Good teams go out and take care of business. It's simple, TB lost it's composure and then lost the game. Hopefully they will learn from their mistakes.

He won't get a suspension off of that, It wasn't intentional.

assassination of sergachev by the coward coleman

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

I don't like cheap nut shots, even when a favorite player on my team does it.

But yeah, Devils fans are acting like their darling boys are all perfect angels.

Ah well, it looks like there is finally some real hostility building up on the main series board. Must be the Playoffs!!

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

I missed the game - WTF happened

 

[FinnLightning26]

Also wouldn't mind changing up that top line. They've had three games to figure it out and they're still doing their usual dipsy doodle crap. They've been complete non factors 5 on 5.

 

[The Gongshow]

We lost because you missed the game! Don't you dare miss game 4

 

[BenedictGomez]

NBC thinks it was intentional, called it a "sneaky" move.

There might be a 2nd Sergachev clip they look at from tonight though (0:18 mark). I dont think he connects though. I'm gonna' say no suspension.
