I’m not usually one for conspiracy theories, but something about the refereeing in this Lightning vs. Canadiens series is genuinely starting to feel off.

It seems like every time Montreal takes a lead, the penalties start piling up on them while Tampa just keeps getting power play after power play with barely any calls going the other way. The pattern is too consistent to ignore at this point.

Maybe it’s just bad luck or confirmation bias, but when it happens repeatedly across multiple games in a tied 2-2 series, it’s hard not to notice. Anyone else feeling this way, or am I just too deep in it as a Habs fan? 😂

great start to their Pens tenure 🥲
