Nobody's arguing whether it's a cross check, it's just never a penalty in the NHL

It'd be nice if Johnny showed up even strength for once.

Hell, or even as a PP specialist...

Tkachuk needs to rein it in...the refs are focusing on perceived cheap shots.

That’s a playoff crosschecks, wasn’t that bad at all. Could call that 10 times a game if they wanted.

That doesn’t look good for Johnny. Hopefully just a stinger but those weird ones can end up bad.

Looked intentionally dirty and dangerous there from the blue line camera angle.

It wasn’t the first cross check he got called for, it was the second completely unnecessary one.

Looks like Gaudreau took a skate in the mid section. Dude should be suspended stabbing another player.

Bennett takes another swing after the initial knock down, that’s where he gets a penalty. Same as Ehlers a couple minutes prior.

They NEVER call that. Regular season or playoffs. That's plain and simple jostling. You just warn at most.

You gonna start calling #### like that, you're going to be handing out penalties left right and centre all game long.

I wouldn't say never.

That wasn't just guys jostling at a faceoff. That was a forceful crosscheck, and it warranted a call.

Anyway, moving on. Time for Calgary to show their tenacity.
