Officials are conditioned to believe that the playoffs are to be more physical and games called differently than the regular season and it does feel like big teams like the Kings and Blues get the benefit of the doubt in the playoffs when physicality crosses the line into obstruction. The Flames for example didn't get away with anything.

Oh come on, they've even got the Greendale Human Being hoisting the Cup!

The Blues didn't put their opponents through anything worse than the last hundred teams to win this trophy.
You step over the men across from you, or you don't win.
Hopefully Johnny and Sean have been internalizing that lesson all summer.

I am more offended that the team I root for thought they could dipsy doodle around and win in the playoffs.
You don’t win the Stanley Cup, you take it.
