I have no doubt that the refs knew it was 3-0 with less than 10 minutes left in a heated Game 7 and that influenced their call in this situation. Would it have been the same call if it was 1-1? No way.
And that is exactly what is wrong with the nhl reffing

Just terrible, terrible luck for Pavelski. You shouldn't get a 5 minute major for bad luck.

That cross check doesn't even register 99.9% of the time. It's a nothing play.

Flames fans aren’t Canucks fans.

We’ve never rioted.

Vegas missing Eakin is also a significant loss

Also, Vegas is going to have to murder somebody to get a penalty

To me it looked like he tried to sell the initial contact and then ended up getting hurt after falling awkwardly into the other vegas guy granted I only saw it in slow motion

I lived about 3 blocks from the Red Mile in '04. After game 7 against Tampa, we all just cried into our beer and then walked home silently. I remember it being pretty mellow on the streets that night.

I don't think he was selling it, just knocked off balance by Eakin, knocked again by Stastny, and couldn't protect himself as he went down in a really awkward position.

Just a bunch of innocent plays and terrible luck that led to an ugly injury.

Not sure moving Nosek up to the 3rd line is any sort of good idea. He's a complete black hole offensively and not great defensively despite the fact he plays on the penalty kill. Better off double shifting another Vegas player instead.

Overall, I do miss Engelland.

But I don't miss the get-walked-around-1-on-1-every-time Engelland

How many karlsons are in this game? Doesn’t matter. Too many.

Remember when we wanted these two teams to go the distance so we could be rested and play a tired group?

Someone will have to murder someone to get a PP in OT. Vegas will have to murder them worse I think though. They're owed.

They should have waived that icing off. They're not going to call that pick that lead to the Vegas player losing the race in game seven OT, but at least waive off the icing.

Murder them off a face-off?

I thought I was done staying up late watching hockey.

Damn you NHL playoffs.
