There could be many reasons, such as they didn't want to rig too much just to stay under radar, or that they wanted to help certain market (Rangers) and didn't care much about Canucks. NBA is all but proven to be rigging series and they have sweeps and 5-games series too. Same with KHL and its preceder RSL (which was fixing games machine). Just because some series are 4-5 games, doesn't mean that ALL series are clean. It is false assumption. That said, I'm not implying that Game 6 was rigged, just arguing with this particular agrument.
