Former NHLer unappy with Leafs/Bolts game, says officiating was heavily tilted in Lightning's favour
When the Leafs rolled into Tampa for Thursday's Game 6, the mission was clear; get the win and avoid a Game 7 on Saturday. Well, the Leafs certainly played well enough to win the game, but the officials appeared to have their own agenda.
Following the tough 4-3 OT loss, Spittin Chiclets co-host Ryan Whitney took to Twitter to state that the Leafs were essentially screwed by the officials in Tampa in a game that the Buds were otherwise in firm control of.The Leafs have a legit complaint about the refs tonight. Very one sided for Tampa and it still took OT. Leafs outplayed them and Tampa is gonna need to play much better to win game 7. Kucherov made it 3-3 but was horrendous otherwise.
Game 7 is set to take place back in Toronto on Saturday night. In a series that likely should have ended in 6, let's hope that the Leafs come out with a chip on their shoulders to avoid another early exit.
