The officials were really quick with the whistles tonight. They blew it down offside on Toffoli just before the second LA goal, but it was no where near offside. It looked like it was going to be, but Toffoli stopped it from crossing the blue line, but the whistle went anyway. It took the faceoff outside of the zone. Literally seconds after the that faceoff, LA scored.
They also blew it down when when the puck was still alive in the LA crease, and once when it looked like the puck was going out of play, but it didn't (which was probably more irritating to the Kings).
These are small things in the big picture, but they affected the outcome this time.
