He's not getting fired, but he's justifiably going to feel some heat. How in the world does Auston Matthews only play 18 minutes in a game 7?*

*Somewhere, Pi is thinking "Because he got his contract and got lazy and out of shape and can't play any more than that."

This is absolutely absurd

But, you know who Cassidy played less than Matthews' 18:48?

Bergeron, Marchand, and Pasternak

Mind boggling.  Maybe Babcock is not who we thought he was.  

[PerreaultForever]

Really happy Leafs lost. Consolation in a dismal year. Now a summer of laughing at their panic, complaints and cap problems.

The Leafs boards are asking for Babcock's head and many want Keefe.  They have a fire Babcock thread that is up to 38 pages!

Not for nothin, but how hard would it be to have a camera mounted at crossbar height to determine if a high sticking occurred. It's not like cameras are expensive anymore.

 

It's just not SJS's night.

Keefe would probably do a better job honestly

Eakin just did something bad, ejected with a 5, Pavelski down hard.....I'm expecting a hefty suspension. 

Maybe SJS can close the gap on the long PP

After watching that I don’t even know if that was a penalty. If it was it’s not by much. More of an unlucky play.

Was it bad? I couldn't really tell. It just seemed like a weird play.

I do want overtime, though.

Yeah, I didn't see much at all, except an Injury, unfortunate, but it's a terrible call

This announcer is pretty good.

Holy cow SJ just tied it

If Vegas ends up losing this the NHL owes and apology to them and those officials need to be done for the rest of the playoffs either way. Just bc someone gets hurt doesn’t mean it a penalty let alone 5 and a game. The Sharks didn’t even really react. This is garbage.

And the counter-attack.  Again.  The Sharks look like a beaten team.

 

Boy, what a turnaround!

[Ross Rhea]

Wow

[Wyldnwoody44]

Wow.... I've never seen anything like this. 

 

But yeah, they got jobbed bad by the refs, and I have no real rooting interest in this game 

[Doohicksie]

HOLY *****!

Vegas completely got jobbed. An over reaction to something that was clearly incidental, based on how Pavelski looked. I really hope he's ok - I hope it's not in sensitive to say it looked very unusual to see his body react like that to that type of contact. 

[calti]

theres gonna be a nasty reaction to this......maybe worse than when the saints got jobbed

It was odd, looked like he took a cross check to the face, I'm wondering if his face shield cracked and cut him when he hit the ice?

Refs wrongly assumed there was some egregious penalty since a guy was down and bleeding. Stupid stupid assumption. Maybe look at the video if they have no clue?  Idiotic.

That's what I seen also, a cross check to the face/head and that caused him to go down awkwardly.

Game 7 of a six month season and the refs are guessing that a penalty occurred. Completely changing the fortunes of two teams.

The portion Pavelski was conscious for definitely wasn't.

The $64k Q becomes was Leblan (sp?) the hero or the goat?.  91 seconds of PK left to find out.
