You knew they’d find an excuse to call the next on Bs no matter what. Guess it might as well be when the ice is bad at the end of the period.

It’s a bad playoff call, but that’s what happens when one side commits multiple legit penalties in a game, they are going to do video game logic to even it.

Just before that call, they asked Paul Maurice about the penalties Florida had taken and he just smiled and said he expected 2 PPs coming their way. The refs found one right away.
I was thinking the same thing. You knew at least one bs call was coming B's way at some point

Messier seemed like such a smart player but everything he says on the air is pretty dumb

Jesus dude. There’s worse after literally every whistle. It can just be a shit call.
Everyone here knew it was coming the second it happened. Penalties are 2-0, the call was gonna happen eventually. Even out minutes and all. Way of the NHL world.

Continues to be so shameful by the way that we can’t figure out how to have a clean sheet of ice.

One of the most infuriating things about the nhl playoffs is how they incentivize you to go out and commit penalties because
1. Refs " swallow their whistles" in the playoffs
2. Even if they do call you they won't call them all
3. If you do get called a bunch they will make up calls to even it up

it really is incredible. I mean we had a ref on a hot mic admitting it and yet here we still are.

Also you never know when one of those penalties might cause an injury that affects the whole series.
