Calling by the exact rules is dumb. Leads to way too much stupid stuff like this.

It was bound to happen at the worst time possible for Edmonton.
Skinner f***ing sucks, while the Panthers have a top 5 goalie in the league.
Posting the rules is pointless. They've gone on to ignore even more blatant trippings in this period. The complaints are about the refs choosing that trip in this situation over any of the others. They consistency issues with NHL officiating is appalling.

The ref simply thought it was intentional and was going to result in a scoring chance. Thats why it was called.
The heartbreaking part would have really been losing to Edmonton in 5.
Then that ref is a jackass. Everyone is falling over on that ice.
I have no words. Shame on you for writing something like that.

That was some BS officiating, refs (league) leaning hard for the oil. Can't have the oil lose after gifting them McDavid in the draft.

Edmonton isn't going to win with McDavid being completely invisible.
Biggest moment of your life, you might want to show up.

By definition: refs = jackasses.

Ekblad is eating McDavid alive tonight.
Close gap control, not biting, let him spin and juke before a simple poke check to break up the play. Over and over, every shift.
Waste of 8 days. Or since it's the finals waste of 12 days.
I'm not seeing that in this game. They've let the Panthers get away with a couple of trips already. It's just horrible, inconsistent reffing, that I hate.
Classic gamesmanship by an all time great. McDavid is giving up nothing to the Panthers when he's on the ice and is lulling them to sleep.
By the time Ekblad realizes what he's doing isn't working on McDavid in the third it's going to be 5 to 2 Oilers.

One of the Cats, might have been Reinhart, got tackled with an arm around his neck and there was no call. That's what I'm seeing. And the BS call against Keith's kid was BS.

On the one hand, give me the first game 7 OT in my lifetime. On the other, I have to be up way too early tomorrow so hope the Panthers end it in regulation

Didn't they score right after the power play ended? I think it was effective enough last time.
