ESPOSITO: "That Was a Deliberate Attempt to Hurt Kucherov"

NHL Hall-of-Famer and Lightning founder Phil Esposito joins Beckles & Recher on Thursday to discuss what went wrong for the Bolts in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Islanders. Phil explains what a crosscheck feels like and then discusses how everyone in Canada is even talking about how bad the officiating has been in this year's playoffs. Phil then proclaims that everyone, including the Lightning, crosscheck and get away with it, but he also adds there's no place in the game for that. On the state of refereeing, Phil has lodged a lot of these similar complaints for the last 20 years, and it has only gotten worse. All that and MORE!
