The call against Gunnerson was weak, the Dunn slash was similar to the Virtanen one and the high stick against Schenn was an obvious high stick that should be called.
The Blues are playing like the better team, I think that the Canucks lost their chance last game to put them away and the Blues will win in 6 or 7 games. Markstrom can't win every game on his own.
The more I watch this the more I realize how much the qualification round took out of teams, especially in a condensed tournament. With the exception of the Islanders/Capitals, the teams in the round robin just look more rested, less beat up and frankly a bit faster. That could be because they are the better teams, but usually in the first round you have a few upsets, but this year it doesn't look like that will be the case at all.
