It's opening day and I already have rediscovered my hate for the NHL. Blatant "team down by 1 gets a power play in the last ten minutes" game management call to artificially create what will now likely be a 3 point game due to the way teams play for the tie in these situations, in turn artificially creating standings parity.
Everything working as intended.

And yet seems totally clueless, as if this was the first hockey game she's ever attended. I'm not sure I've seen anyone add less to the broadcast from ice level.
C'mon man.

I'm serious, I can't think of anyone worse at it. Has Gene Principe ever been set up between the benches?
On the plus side, Stone broke the tie so that's justice.

Glad that game didn't go to OT. Vegas pretty much willed that win to happen, they look like a good team again, but we'll see how far goaltending will take them over the course of a season.

L.A. deserved to lose. You could tell they were sitting back in the last 5 minutes and trying to play for the tie point.

game mgmt is clearly for the purpose of entertainment, but it violates the intergrity of the game being played when penalties are created based on the score regardless of how cleanly the winning team is playing . boo indeed . i am of the school of thought that in sports calls need to be earned no matter the circumstance . i do miss the former generation of officials for that reason . stingy with calls but fair
