[Russo] Sounds like Ryan Hartman will be hearing from the NHL for his misconduct at game’s end. I didn’t see it, but apparently he chucked his stick in the refs’ direction. He was incensed because he was high-sticked by Noah Hanifin in final minute of regulation. Not sure how it was missed.

1. I’m not normally one to harp on officiating, but they kept the ice tilted towards Vegas right from the jump. I can understand the player’s frustration

2. Classic missed call with the league doubling down with punishment for the reaction to said missed call.

3. You think the league would rather have an emerging market/region in the playoffs in the gambling Mecca or a team whose fan base will always be there no matter what in the playoffs?

4. I have no idea how a ref can miss an opponents stick go *dramatically* flailing up in the air, hit a player square in the face while said player is falling down right in front of the net holding his face.

   It’s not like it was in the corner. It’s not like there was a scrum for the puck and 7 players were in the crease.

   Like that tripping on JEE. Ref was looking right at it. Blatant as day. You can’t tell me he didn’t see that. Kaprizov cross-checking Eichel before the spear…IIRC a ref was looking right at that as well (sorry, it’s the truth. Kap got away with one).

   The fact that refs can be this bad and be shielded from criticism by the players is ridiculous.

5. He keeps having disciplinary issues and his play on the ice has not backed it up at all. Love it

6. Another dumbass play by Ryan Hartman.

7. That sub is pure cancer
