The Toronto Maple Leafs had a golden opportunity to close out their best of seven series Thursday vs the Tampa Bay Lightning leading the series 3 games to 1.
But as the old saying goes, "the fourth game is always the hardest to win."
The Lightning didn't make it easy fighting for their playoff lives and some questionable officiating didn't help matters either.
4 Missed Calls By The Officials On Tampa Penalties.
What the Leafs have to realize is they can't worry about the officials.
If they want to win this series, they need to show they have that killer instinct or it will be another year we say the Leafs blow a 3-1 series lead.
Here's some of the clips form Thursday's game:
