Should I feel outraged about the bad refereeing?
WSH-3
TB 4 (OT)
Mathieu Garon [6] allowed 3 goals on 29 shots for the win.
First Period
WSH Hendricks (2), (Laich), 16:55
TB Purcell (13), (Downie, Stamkos), 18:50
Second Period
TB St. Louis (13), (Pyatt, Clark), 1:05
TB Thompson (6), (Moore, Wyman), 10:59
WSH Perrault (8), (unassisted), 13:07
Third Period
WSH Brouwer (15), (unassisted), 5:53
Overtime
TB Stamkos (33), (St. Louis, Garon), 2:45
Steven Stamkos [7] and Pavel Kubina [8] were the game's first and third stars.
Make no mistake about it, Washington's third goal was a completely blown call. The holding on Matt Gilroy [9] that led to Brouwer's unassisted goal was a joke. I'd be more outraged were it not for the craft Russian leg sweep Vincent Lecavalier [10] put on Roman Hamrlik to spring Marty for the Lightning's second goal. Still, for the refs to blow that call it plain view was pretty shocking.
Brett Connolly [11] was -1 with 1 hit in 5:08.
J.T. Wyman [12] had an assist and 3 shots and 1 hit in 13:00. Played very well coming off the shelf.
