Just an incredible display of biased officiating.

No high sticking call???
- JohnScammo



Probably in front of the redneck linesman that called the high stick on Casey. What a (frank)ing joke!

I don’t even know what to say about Lee anymore. You can’t back check in OT you shouldn’t be playing.

If Lee cannot deflect the puck, he is worthless.

Dare I say, he's looking like a liability in this series

Swap him out for Bailey, maybe?

I normally don't like saying that, but I don't know how anyone could say it wasn't.

I don’t know, but I saw Fast was wide open and Lee was dragging ass before the pass was even made. I know he’s your boy but he’s been dogpoop the first 2 games.

Not sure why they didn’t call the high stick on Mayfield but Butch was wrong with the 6-0 penalties. It was 4-1, two were high sticks with blood and one was Martin sitting on staal. They had a trip that negated part of the first 4 min major.

I don’t know what we have to do to get a call. Plus, that’s another goal I think Sorokin wants back. We had this (frank)in game, if we don’t come back and win this series, this game is why. I hate blaming refs too but mayfield was literally high sticked in front of not one, but two officials. I know it’s OT but that’s pretty blatant.

Lee ain’t worthless, but he is struggling. Mayhaps he’s hurt?

He's not worthless, but he hasn't been the same dominant force he was a few seasons ago. Not sure he's ever completely recovered from that surgery...

Worthless was too harsh, but this team simply does not have enough play makers. They are lacking in speed and skill. 0-2 against Tampa and in danger of being 0-2 in series against the Canes.

That, and he’s great at shooting the puck high to the glass.

The problem is he's also failing in areas that aren't related to speed. He's losing a lot of physical battles. I don't expect Anders to surprise anyone with his burst at this point but I also don't expect to see him get dropped along the boards or cleared out from the crease as easily as he does now.

There’s no excuse for the goal. He was coasting and Fast just skated right past him. I hate harping on it, I’m just pissed right now. Once Nelson scored the goal, it’s like we turtle shelled again. Blame the refs all you want, they deserve it but we blew this game simple as that. And Sorokin was not good tonight. We’re spoiled and I want him signed long term but this was not a good night for him.

41% tonight.

Again, I was fine with trading Beau, but It's hard to not think of how useful he was in an OT situation like that.

Additionally, I'm as big of a fan of Sorokin as anyone and typically am hesitant to criticize him, but I did not like his positioning on that last goal. (Easy for me to say)

It's something a certain scratched player has done many times. That cannot happen especially from the captain.

Carrying the team all year, you have to hope it's not getting to Sorokin now.

Horvat is playing himself into a problem. You can see he’s pushing, he’s not playing bad, but when you sign the kind of contract he signed and you don’t produce…he’s gonna have a bullseye on his back in his own arena. Especially when you consider Beau was a fan favorite and Raty was everyone’s prized pet.

Yanic Perreault should come out of retirement.

Lol I edited my post to include my feelings on Sorokin tonight.
