There's nothing we hate in hockey more than when the officiating plays a larger part in the games than they should.

"This series isn't over yet. We still have alot of life. Lot of hockey to be played."

The Lightning looked liked they had a commanding lead over the Leafs when it was 2-0 but the Leafs battled back. Auston Matthews scored with just under 5 minutes left in the 3rd period to give the Leafs a 4-3 lead that they would hang onto and take a 3-2 series lead over the Lightning.

Game 6 is tomorrow night back in Tampa Bay.
