The NHL, the stupidest League ever.
Watched Oiler and Leafs last night (although I absolutely want to vomit watching the leafs.)Yes. This.
Ever since the 2019 Final and subsequent rumblings about “game management,” my faith in the integrity of the league has been shaken, to put it mildly.
Leafs killing a penalty midway through the first with Kane carrying the puck up ice is very obviously tripped as a leaf reaches for the puck..... no call.
Later the Oilers are killing a penalty, Kane reaches in to knock the puck away and trips the leaf player. Tweeeeeeeeeeet! Two minutes. Two men down. Leafs score.
Oilers played soft and Leafs played a far more physical play while taking advantage of cross-checking not being called and they clutched and grabbed the rest of the way.
NHL's idea of game management.
