I’m not just defending the guy as
It would seem obvious but that was sketchy as hell. There was barely contact and I’m probably the person that complains about officiating the least. I honestly haven’t blamed refs in over ten years, you will see a lot of things from me but maybe because it was a rule as a broadcaster in junior hockey to not touch on the refs, I don’t out of habit.
But yeah, sketchy call....so obviously the one Time I say something bad it’s a call on Jack, lol. But no that’s all I’ll say about it, even if the flames had scored that’s hockey you roll with it.
While Eichel, it hasn’t been an AMAZING game from him......but I like his back-checking and physical play the last four or five games, he’s managed to be a leader, accountable, play defense and use his size while maintaining a PPG pace. He’s been on all year and I’m not quoting you as if to say you were bashing him as I think you even payed earlier he was on or whatever but only a couple games he wasn’t one against Montreal. The ironic part is his best two games were in blowout losses to San Jose (and Vegas) ...go figure.
