Stick to pasta’s face - no call. I know it’s a rough job but these guys are having a rough night

Don’t think that was a penalty in Hamilton. The refs are making it up as they go.
Respectfully, I disagree. I thought both of them warranted a call.

Maybe not in this particular game, with the way it has been called, but I thought they were both pretty obvious.

Canes going with the 'they can't call them all' penalty thought process.

Bergy got trucked, Pasta was likely accidental but point stands

First one, yes, he got the elbow/shoulder high.

Second one, he hit Backes right after Backes played the puck and the puck was still in Backes’ reach. Didn’t think it was late enough to warrant a call.

My main gripe is there’s no feel for what is and isn’t a penalty.
