Utterly ***embarrassing*** the refs had the gall to make two embellishment calls late after giving Utah a powerplay. The Tkachuk one in particular was an utter joke.
Tough loss. Depth goal-scoring came through. We’re in the inverse form of what we had at the start of the year where now we’re great on the road and struggling at home as of late.

Refs just wanted it more

Just gotta forget this game existed and hope everyone is okay. I will curse these refs until my dying breath

I guarantee if there were 20 more seconds on that clock, we tie it. Oh well. We move on!

We shouldn’t have lost that. Wild card window is closing. Hope Lundell and Ekblad are ok and someone can fix the powerplay. It’s getting dire.
The Embellishment’s paradox. How can you fake a penalty and draw a penalty?

I just want to talk to the refs… I JUST WANT TO FUCKING TALK TO THEM, OKAY?!?

Jesus christ every goddamn night with the one sided officiating lately.

What an embarrassing game.

Two things are true, refs screwed the pooch late and Bob was not good enough. You guys will hate it but they need to pull a Lyon situation with tarasov and Bob for a little bit. Let him reset his focus a bit

Bad refs and bad/frustrating loss for us. At least we have Jets and then three Atlantic games coming up. Still room for movement before Olympics.

Came to the game late miss the 88 and 41 tributes. Bought tickets forgot the coupon code and then saw this bs loss. Got this cool pic though!
Calling this the end of the season is a wild take. We got plenty of time for things to change. However, we do need to atleast leave a game like this with 1 point cause damn. Kinda brutal to be tied most of the 3rd just to end up losing in regulation.

I love Bob, but his save percentage is below league average. There’s just too many pucks slipping through.
Worst loss of the season. Felt like we outplayed them only to come up empty. First embellishment call was garbage, then the refs top that with an even worse embellishment call. Lundell hurt. Wasted Vilmanis’ first career goal. Bob never stops a single breakaway these days. Bruins and Habs win in overtime.
Brutal. Just brutal.

I don’t know why they play more conservative with Tarasov and not with Bob. Hopefully Ekblad and Lundell are okay.
One these days Bob will have decent luck for more than one game. Tough loss tonight

I was worried we couldn’t overcome playing our terrible backup from last year and me being home to watch (haven’t won when I’ve been able to watch since 12-23) but I didn’t expect the RefPuck in the third. That was as egregiously bad a job by the refs as I’ve seen in a long time. I don’t think I’ve ever seen two diving calls in one game let alone period.
Also the give a penny take a penny shit with injuries is getting to be just absurd

Hard to win playing the Zebras and the Mammoth at the same time.
suzzerss
I was about to throw my glasses on the ice for those refs
MtnHotspring
The Leafs lost so there is that. Fucking Vegas.
the-realgloria
Absolutely brutal. All I know is that I NEED Ekky and Lundy to be okay. Please please please.
WaffleTacoFrappucino
i hope Maurice boils him in the presser and forces the nhl to suspend him

Embellishment?? After being tripped skate to skate?? How is that even possible??

Bob looks washed and the Refs wanted it more.

Those breakaways are guaranteed goals against us rn it feels like.

I’m beyond furious with this game. Tarasov needs to be the starter straight up, as I also don’t want the team to commit asset for a goalie at the deadline when Barkov’s comeback is not guaranteed.

So are we six points out or is it getting worse?
bestpredator
Hope Lundy is ok…
I think he emballished it though.

Loss might have been enough to do us in. Both Boston and Montreal won tonight as did Buffalo. We are now six points out of a playoff spot trying to keep teams who had been consistently good all year. Even if we go on a massive win streak, I don’t think it will be enough to get us into a playoff spot with the way the other teams are playing.
That game was winnable. A team coming in on the second half of a back to back and we did very little to take advantage. At no point in that game did we look like we were outskating them to every puck or beating them in every board battle. That’s a game we needed to pick up two points and failed to do so.
And before we blame the refs, the first two goals by Utah were off of two major mishaps on our part. A turnover at the blueline on the zone entry that led to a breakaway, and a turnover at the blue line during a line change. You do that and you will be fishing the puck out of the back of your net every time. We can afford mistakes like that.

Maybe the fourth line can start the PP
I’m furious. Embellishments!?!! Especially on 19?!? 🤬
How does one embellish that trip?!?!!

Absolute bullshit. Still can’t believe they called embellishment
bruins & habs win in OT when we lose in regulation, naturally
Also who was it who said “Hope that ERod whiff doesn’t come back to bite us” lol… welp…
And of course Montreal and Boston win it in overtime today.

Deeply odd game. But congrats to the Vilmaniac!
