Everyone ignoring the pretty blatant trip by McDavid to lead to that second goal.

This Kings Oilers series is a ton of fun to watch, for someone who doesn’t cheer for either of them. If I did, I’d be fully stressed.

How the fuck is that a penalty? It was a perfectly legal hit. And they waited for the 2 on one to develop before calling it...

That just looks bad.

Seems about right but hard to square a suspension with the on-ice officals reduing a major to a minor upon review.

And the cross check to Hathaway's ribs long after period over is only a fine.

Always fun to see how the wheel of justice spins in Department of Player Safety

In no world should Tkachuk have been suspended for that. What are you even complaining about now?
Could’ve been a 5 easy…that was a brutal shot that I think was intended exactly for that sweet spot over the pants.

Edit: 5 as in a major, not 5 games

Coming in long after period is over and jabbing into someone's ribs directly where there is no pads with that amount of force is intent to injure in a completely non hockey play. He skated for a long ways away to deliver that blow. It doesn't belong in hockey in any shape or form.

Given Hathaway missed 0 shifts and stayed down partly because of the cross check and partly because he got sack tapped by Bennett, I'm fine with it not being anything.

Biz doing a really good job breaking down the Foligno hit between periods.

The TNT rules analyst guy a predictable useless shill for the refs with an incoherent explanation.
