This is absolutely meaningless, but Carolina is 5-0 in game 7's in franchise history. Includes the Scott Walker game.

I'd say their overdue for a loss.
Ugh. That was excruciating. Trying to remember whose facial bones he rearranged without any penalties/fines/suspension. Am I remembering that correctly? That he got off Scott-free? ;-)

Aaron Ward, and yes.

Remarkably, Ward only missed Game 6 (the punch happened in Game 5).

Ummm... okay.

Guess they don't think a suspension is worth it since the series is over.

what are we even doing here?

The McAvoy trip was a slew foot.

Why is the league calling attention to the bad judgment of its own referees? It was clear last night the referees decided no infractions would be called in the third period. The players seem to get this quickly, and both teams committed numerous penalties.

The league has to stop allowing referees to change how they call a game based on which game in the series it is and which period it is.

Great sport, Mickey Mouse league.
