I can't stop watching that MacKinnon goal. The speed, hands, and shot. Dear Lord. He's going to be a problem.
McGinn was awesome tonight. That hit was all sorts of amazing. He's playing really well lately.
Seriously, wtf was that call?picture

They also blew the whistle dead for no reason just to review whether or not a goal was scored, right? I don't remember that ever happening before either.
Whatever the case, Avs got more than their fair share of power play opportunities. Legit calls, of course, but I'm reluctant to complain about the officiating last night. Some weird calls to be sure though.
So ridiculous. How can a professional referee just blow the whistle dead and give them an opportunity to tie the game with a minute to go after having 8 players on the ice?
What are the chances they'd do the same for the Avs with the lead? I'm guessing next to none.
The Avs had 7 skaters on the ice against Ottawa with 3:30 to go, and they scored a minute later to tie the game.
It happens both ways, but Minny's was more ridiculous, cause they blew the game dead to give a penalty which they then negated.

I'm not even mad about them not calling too many men.
What pissed me off was them blowing the play dead, then bringing the faceoff into our own zone....wtf?
Except in that case the refs didn't see it. They clearly saw this one, and decided just to blow the whistle dead and not give a penalty. Very different IMO. They directly chose to influence the game.
O'Reilly - Duchene - MacKinnon
Team Canada 2018.
It's a very real possibility, and would be amazing. I made a bet with my buddy at the beginning of the season that O'Reilly would make Team Canada in the next Olympics at 5-1 odds.
How about Landeskog last night? Loved the passion and hate! He has been quietly great for us all year and has 18 points in his last 18 games. I have wanted him to play with more of an edge than he has been and let's hope he can continue it in the stretch run and playoffs. I really think he is getting fired up for all these important games coming up, which means good things for team Sweden.

I can't figure out what the deal was on that misconduct penalty. It's given to Guenin in the boxscore. Was it Landy's? What did Guenin do, he was just tied up with Cooke?
