sounds like a cry baby. but him saying they called the result is accurate imo. unless they say well he fell cuz you pushed him which happens 50 times a night. we all know hockey calls are a lot of times on the result and a lot of times in 3-0 type games. nothing out of ordinary at real speed, that looked like a high cross check that crippled an opposing player. I get why the call was made...the league will now add review to all major penalties...which is a good thing.
Also, at 3-0 with 10 mins left in the game, the ref is thinking..this is over...its been an ugly, heated series, and the Sharks captain just got broken...I need to calm this down before it explodes. Get Eakin out of the game, maybe SJ scores once or twice, VGK score an empty netter and we get out of this without an ugly scene.

A nice compromise would have been a 2+2. Two for crosschecking, two for drawing blood. Like with high sticking calls.
Sharks would have rallied the same, scored twice, and made it an interesting finish.
Actually, screw that. That Vegas PK was so dreadful they probably deserved to allow those extra goals. The Sharks were sniping goals like they were Stephen Paddock at the Strip, and the Knights PK unit stormed the wrong floor.

Lost in all of this is how badly MAF reverted to his previous playoff form with the Pens. From that SH OT winner in game 6 on... Two of those PP goals are almost 100% on him. I might be mistaken, but it looked like he even ducked out of the way of one of them... The OT winner in game 6 was absolutely putrid. It hit the middle of the net, from the top of the circles. What?
The officials never even saw the play. They thought Pavelski was "crosschecked in the face". That was the explanation they gave Vegas. It was a nothing play, that happens a hundred times a game, and off of pretty much every faceoff. A freak accident, because of where Pavelski stumbled after he was pushed, where the faceoff went, and where Stastny was headed... A five minute major in the 3rd period of game 7 for THAT, is an absolutely ridiculous joke of a call. It's not even a penalty, by the standards the officials themselves set throughout the season. The proper move here is calling a 2 minute minor, and then explaining to San Jose that there was no malicious intent, and Pavelski got tangled up with Stastny afterwards, and fell awkwardly. But, this is the NHL, where most officials are incompetent. Where, somehow...not one of the four guys on the ice actually saw the play... Vegas absolutely has a gripe, even if they imploded in fantastic fashion.

Really didn't look that bad. Looked like he fell awkwardly...2 min. But it is what it is...Fuck VGK and MAF.

The Hurricanes were the better team in that game and deserved to win.
I think Bruins and the Blues have to be the favourites at this point?

Weakest goal of the playoffs:
Just absolutely laughable what Holtby is doing there. Gives up a rebound on a soft saucer, then HOPS over the puck when Aho gets off another weak shot.

The best part is the perceived easier path to the finals than usual (with all the top dogs eliminated) has to wrecking leafs fans insides even more.
