And the craziest thing is that the last minor penalty that wasn’t a delay of game call took place in the 1st period of game 4. 8 periods without calling a minor penalty that isn’t an automatic call.
Just ridiculous game management by NHL refs that’s leads to the grittier and more defensive team having an advantage.

Deboer didn't even
blame the refs.
...he just pointed out their incompetence.

“Just a soft call. But I can’t even blame the refs,” DeBoer said in his post game presser. “They’re fighting through the embellishment of grabbing your face or falling down or dropping your stick every period. I can’t even blame the ref. They fool them on it.”

Deboer doesn't get fined for talking around perceived bad calls, while Cassidy speaks more directly and does get fined...I guess that's the NHL for you. "They're bad calls...but I don't blame the refs, they're just bad calls"...so wait, what? You're criticizing the refs just the same..."You suck at your job, but I don't blame you"
