Agree with everything above.....if we can make it for a game next series vs CHI ear plugs are a must...it was so loud at times yesterday I woke up still having a headache.

As for Zach.......I commented to my daughter a team is always in good hands when your best player is your hardest worker. He was both of those things yesterday.

Parise is worth the price of admission alone. Glad you and your daughter got to see the clincher. Lifetime memories.

No penalties called. There were more than a few.

 

Definitely agreed, that was my point... after everything they let go in a game with 0 penalties called, the one someone decided to call with 3:00 left (a time by which refs have often put away their whistles in even the most penalty-filled playoff games), against the team up 2-1 was nowhere near the most egregious foul of the game. It was a pretty incongruous call.

The hit from behind by Ovechkin is as textbook of a penalty as you will ever see.

Exactly my point. Ovie's hit (amongst other plays) somehow weren't penalties, but the scuffle at 3:00 left was roughing? The refs had the whistles in the pocket until they realized the game was almost over and wasn't tied.

 

I don't love that the calls become looser in the playoffs, but everyone knows it and has the opportunity to adapt. But to call it so loose that hits like Ovie's aren't called, but then tighten up right at in the last critical minute and call a pretty soft penalty is annoying.
