Ticky tack 2
The officials have managed to get the fans back into this game. Honestly, they weren't much of a factor leading up to this point. And looking at the Lightning's mostly sluggish play through two, you've got to wonder how Tampa Bay is tied after two periods.
But after the officials called penalties on both St. Louis and Lecavalier -- the latter or which was questionable -- the fans were chanting words not fit for blogging consumption.
The Lightning survived the 5-on-3 and the fans have something to cheer about -- or cheer against.

Officiating is just awful tonight...of course it always is when you ahve mr magoo wearing the orange armband. When you have a HALL OF FAMER like Espo talking about how bad a penalty is, you know there's a problem.
BTW have I mentioned that I'm forced to listen to this game on the radio, since for some reason so far beyond me it isnt funny, this game 4 OF A PLAYOFF SERIES is not being televised in Orlando.
Pure genius.
