I always say the NHL is the only league in the world that changes the rules in the playoffs. And while officiating is poor in pretty much all sports only in the NHL would I say it actively changes in the playoffs.

Exactly, basketball is one sport that comes to mind. The intensity is without a doubt higher in the playoffs and the refs allow for a little more physicality but they still follow the rule book. There’s no rule book for playoff hockey, it’s whatever the refs feel like on that given day.
