They did overcome it. Jesus Christ. They scored a shorthanded goal to take the lead at 3-2 on a penalty that was absolutely fucking ridiculous. They maintained that lead, and with 7 minutes to go, they should have gone on a power play that may have sealed the fucking game. Instead, the refs don't make a call that even the national pundits are saying was obvious, and instead of being on a power play with all the momentum, they end up tied.
How much more do you expect "champions" to overcome?
I can't even wrap my head around this nonsense. I'll ask it again. At what fucking point do you think it would have been too much to overcome? If the refs handed Tampa a goal with 3 minutes, 1 minute? 10 seconds? How easy do you think it is to score a goal in the NHL playoffs?
And no, I don't remember the refs handing Montreal a game tying goal with 7 minutes left, when they should have been awarding the Bruins a power play. I don't remember the refs giving Montreal a double minor for high sticking when a Montreal player hit himself in the face. I don't remember a Montreal player hooking the shit out of Marchand on a breakaway and not having it called. I don't remember the "slash" they called against Krug happening in Montreal. I don't remember the refs tossing Bergeron out of one faceoff after another against Montreal. I don't remember Montreal having almost double the number of power plays through 5 games. It just goes on and on and on. The Bruins and Lightning have been officiated completely differently since the drop of the puck in game 2.
