Series Tied 2-2

My 3 Stars: Petrovic, Luongo, Greiss

 

YES! We did it! We tied up the series. However Reilly Smith did not record a point and we did not get a first period goal. Luongo did a great job and so did Greiss. The score should’ve been 4-1 if the refs counted the Huberdeau goal and Jokinen who always misses an empty net missed it again by inches. Jakub Kindl was dressed over Greg McKegg and got 0:00 of ice time. Then why dress him? Huberdeau had a breakaway and was shoved from behind by Pulock and crashed into Greiss and the puck went in. Huberdeau got hurt but came back. He also was slashed by Brock Nelson in the hands but was ok. Gallant challenged it after it was ruled no goal and it was again ruled no goal. Some guy on the Isles had a similar thing happen but the whistle blew and Lu had it covered and he poked in between the pads. On the power play Jagr went behind the net and found Purcell who scored in an empty net. That was Jagr’s 200th career playoff point (5th all time). Barkov took a stupid penalty. I’m serious. He lost his cool and slashed a guy. Then Kulikov took a penalty and they got a 5 on 3. Like 2 seconds after Barky got out of the box, Tavares scored. SHUT HIM DOWN! I’m going to be upset if he gets a point in game 5. Then, Petro got the puck from the point and waited and fired a wicked wrister. Wilson got his first career point with an assist on the Petrovic goal. Thornton did not play.
