Refs are terrible this year. At least they’re bad for everyone? But yeah. Don’t know how they missed those, pretty blatantly obvious.

It happens. Novak got hauled down earlier too. Refs are bad.

Whether right, wrong, or indifferent, officiating mistakes are a part of all sports….

You know damn well Edmonton would get penalised immediately too, that’s what happens when you have a good PP the refs are dogshit
Cautious-Mammoth-657
He is so good that they literally can’t call all the infractions against him or the other team would be short handed half the game 😄 at least that’s what I’ve always thought. Def not fair but probably their reasoning

You’re missing some great defense

I stopped trying to figure out NHL refs a long time ago. They’re all black-out drunk and they drink at the same bar as MLB umpires.

“Am I missing something?” : then responds like an angry child to anyone who suggests it was simply a missed call.
Buddy… Edmonton is one a historic run… you can relax…

Who were the refs for this?
Sc00tzy
Clean tackle

Referees are already on bye week

Refs do not call penalties they manage them.
And yes it’s making the game suck

Puck was fairly close at the point of contact, could be argued they both made a play for the puck, one guy bigger than the other, possession unclear, keep it moving.
Refs also let McDavid get away with quite a bit. Saw him in a recent game grab 2 players’ sticks and ref was close by watching the play. They give him some slack I feel.
Slow-Debt-6465
Yes evidently every other NHL game is what you missed 😂
The NHL refs, I get its very hard. But aren’t very good at all. This is par for the course.
Didn’t matthews get cross checked to shit last week and the ref say to Keefe he fell on his own? Lol refs are horrid

They moved the preferential treatment spotlight to bedard. Mcdavid getting the Crosby treatment now.

It happens to him every game. That’s what makes what he does so impressive. He regularly wins the scoring race while being attacked like this night in and night out. He’d have 150 points every year if the refs didn’t let these things go

Playoff form refereeing.

This streak has gone far enough. Someone has to put a stop to this. Obviously the other teams aren’t able to, so the refs had to step in for the good of everyone else. Still not working though…

We are okay with horizontal content portrayed by vertical video now? (Should’ve been 2 mins btw)

I don’t even think it’s a bad call. He had the puck, so he can get hit. Play the player not the puck is sometimes the way to go. Especially when the guy can out maneuver you 10 times over

Have you seen the amount of shit McDavid gets away with?

« you cant call everything » is what mcdavid was told in the playoffs.
burtonboy1234
at that point might as well just hog tie him

Nah dude, refs have been sucking ass all season. Flagrant missed calls for both sides every game this season. No room for plays like this

Yeesh. NHL officiating can be rough, and it only gets worse the closer we get to the playoffs.

Gary Bettman was seen after the game handing a plain brown envelope to the referee

Everybody pissy about McDavid getting pulled down while DOPS does nothing for Larkin getting cross checked in the neck repeatedly.
