Lightning blast refs for 'unfair' calls that ended season

The Tampa Bay Lightning were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs with a 6-1 loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday, and Lightning head coach Jon Cooper did not hold back on two goalie interference calls that went against them. The first call in question was a coach's challenge by the Panthers at 13 minutes in the first period, when an Anthony Cirelli goal was taken off the board due to it being ruled that Anthony Duclair impaired Sergei Bobrovsky's ability to play his position in the crease.
