Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper got his too-many-men penalty on Friday — and seemingly so much more.
With the Stanley Cup in the building and the Avalanche a Game 5 victory away from hoisting it, the Lightning received several favorable calls inside Ball Arena — including the aforementioned too-many-men infraction with 2:43 left in regulation that spoiled a chance at an extended rally for the Avs.
The Lightning, who complained about a too-man-men non-call on Colorado that led to the Avs’ overtime goal in Game 4, committed three penalties and the Avs were 0-for-2 on the power play. Cale Makar’s outstanding two-point performance was tarnished by his tripping minor behind Colorado’s net at 6:58 of the second period. In a 4-on-4 sequence, the star Avs defenseman turned to retrieve a loose puck he was destined to collect by trying to get his stick in front of him.
“I don’t know. I haven’t seen it yet,” Makar said of the replay of his penalty. “It’s obviously to the ref’s discretion. Varies game by game but at the end the day, we just got to battle through it.”
