Ffs can it get worst? This is the worst officiating I’ve seen all year. Does the league hate Dallas, genuine question.

ESPN's Emily Kaplan seriously needs to stop thanking foreign-born players in their native languages. It's patronizing, offensive, and tired. Pasta's reaction was very telling. Someone needs to tell this woman that the interview isn't about her!

Drai's game is built for the postseason. He's so good around the net - shooting and passing.

What would happen if OT hypothetically never ended. What if they just play so much that everybody gets so tired so nobody can score

It’s recency bias by me, but it seems like skaters have been hitting the ice with the back of their heads after a hit a lot recently.

Makes me wonder why the rear of the helmet doesn’t have a bit more protection - it’s probably the least obstructive part of the helmet. They’d look ridiculous I bet, like how Jordan staal used to look like darth helmet, but maybe they should add like 1/2 to 1” more to the backside and make it like a crumple zone. It’s rare that the event happens, and when it does the helmet is trashed as the crumple would be used up, but it would probably save a lot of injury time and not restrict player motion.

Helmet manufacturers would love this idea.

I love the atmosphere of playoff hockey. Can't wait for 2045 when the Canucks finally make it there

Whoever lined up at LW for LAK did that right off the draw. Nice play.

I mean the guy swung his stick and tripped him even the EDM announcers said it so idk what he could have done. Should have just not swung his stick and he would have been fine.

EDM left the Kings way to open on that PP as how do u allow that much space.

a 5 y.o. wouldn't have tripped over that stick. Lizotte's delayed reaction says it all.

Kings fans were complaining about the reffing all game just for the King to 2 of the weakest call ever at pivotal points in the game

While, you're not wrong, still a bonehead move to swing his stick like that and it cost his team the game.

I thought that was a good call TBH. But maybe Desharnais got tripped right before

I know you're right. And the ref sees the Desharnais swinging his stick wildly and sees the player fall...I see why the call was made. Just bothers me to see the game end on a weak call like that.

Even EDM announcers said it was a trip and that he needed to control his stick better so idk if they aint complaining then idk what to say.

As that was a wide swing which was kind of funny in slow-mo

Anyways time to watch 2 green teams fight

The Wild were an expansion team. They were never the North Stars.
