Bad calls happen, but do better stripes.

I thought the call on Mangi on the faceoff after the Stars 3 min shift was the worst. 2 minutes for your opponents being exhausted.
Savvy veteran play by Pavelski there - seemed like he even slowed down to entrap Backlund into it. I think the right call would actually have been both holding on Backs and holding the stick on Pavelski.
Didn't like the Hakanpa hit from behind in the 3rd either.
