Q105 Poll: Did Steven Stamkos Really Score a Goal Last Night?
Remember when that photo went viral on the internet about the color of that dress? I think this is the 2021 version of that.
Last night, Steven Stamkos scored a goal for the Tampa Bay Lightning, but it seems nobody outside the Tampa area thinks it actually went in. There was a lengthy delay after the score as replay officials in Toronto re-watched the puck’s travel over and over. After all was said and done, the NHL declared that it was a good goal. Or more accurately, they didn’t find enough evidence in the video below to say it was NOT a good goal.
Take a peek at this video and then let us know what you think in the poll below. I’m getting lots of flack today because I’m 100% certain it didn’t go in. I love Stamkos. I love the Bolts. But it was not a goal. Yet I can’t get anyone here at the station today to agree with me.
It ended up not mattering much anyway. The Lightning suffered their first home loss of the season.
Here's a replay of Tampa Bay's opening goal.
