This isn't really bitching so much asking for consistency


If you don't wanna call interference in the playoffs, I'm fine with that. But like...why is it even in the rulebook at all?

There's no better display of the NHL's Stanley Cup officiating than a guy who is openly being bear hugged by a defenseman having his goal called back because his stick was technically too high.

I mean… if he wasn’t being held he still couldn’t have tipped the puck legally so I don’t know what’s “technical” about it

It was just the slow-mo view from centre ice of "none of this is illegal until this guy's stick touched the puck too high." A perfect encapsulation that the refs will let the subjective things go but the objective penalties do not see leniency.

I guess interference is to prevent every play being icing, is my best guess? Knocking a dude away from an otherwise routine pass?

Right certainly there’s a million things that can be called penalties and aren’t in OT because the refs are cowards, but there’s just no world where that particular shot could have turned into a good goal because that review is automatic and the rule doesn’t allow interpretation unlike nearly everything else

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
well Dallas left it to OT but they finally won a period.. too bad no goals were forthcoming.

Minnesota was completely off the rails there, they couldn't clear a puck out of their zone clean that entire period.. Too bad Dallas couldn't capitalize :(

I ain't fuckin saying it should have counted because of playoff leniency. The opposite. Call the hold!

I hope both these teams play until their locker room orange slices run out.

The Kings just do not manage the puck at all, it’s crazy to watch defenders just whip the puck to nobody every time it comes to them in the zone

Bunch of casuals.


Honestly, refs could have been marching guys in both jerseys to the box all game but haven’t been pretty evenly. They keep calling the big game critical stuff on scoring chances is fine with me. That call on Spurgeon was a good one with the Dallas player going to get to that puck right in front of the net otherwise. Plenty of cross checks but they’re being pretty consistent about not calling soft ones.
