@FlameRaptorRaven rated the Canadiens vs Lightning game 8.9 out of 10 in NHL on April 21, 2026. Final score: Canadiens 2 – Lightning 3. R1. Fan ratings and discussion on RateGame.

“2 games and 2 overtimes. This has the makings of an all-time series, albeit won full of drama, both the fun kind and the stupid kind. Let’s start with the positives. Josh Anderson continues to prove he hasn’t forgotten about 2021, he had a great game that included him getting into Tampa’s head. Habs were dialed in and yet Tampa scored first, only got Lane Hutson to match it. Anderson gave Montreal the lead and Dobes did everything he could to hold Tampa off, only for Kucherov to break his drought and give us OT The only reason I cannot rate this a 9 is because of the BS that occurred at the end. Sabourin should’ve been given a 5 minute major, no doubt about it. He clearly saw Josh Anderson and leapt into a blatant interference. Instead, the refs were clearly too scared to call a major that late and made it a minor. To be clear, I still think Tampa deserved to win. Not only did they kill the ensuing powerplay, they completely dominated overtime. Still, that bad call is stuck in my head”
