Tampa Bay Lightning denied dramatic comeback by a controversial hand pass call—was this the worst NHL officiating of the season? Nick Morgan and Greg Stephen break down the Lightning’s 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, spotlighting the late-game chaos, Brandon Hagel’s remarkable night from benching to near-heroics, and head coach Jon Cooper’s fiery postgame reaction. Did Toronto’s decision-makers overstep, and how much did intent matter on the disputed play?
Other hot topics include the Lightning’s ongoing puck management woes, Curtis Douglas’ diminishing enforcer reputation, and rising defensive performances from J.J. Moser and Darren Raddysh. The discussion also touches on Gage Goncalves’ shrinking role and what that signals for lineup strategy moving forward. Can the Lightning harness these ups and downs as they prepare for a crucial rematch with the New York Islanders and a critical Canadian road swing?
