The dive that led to a goal gave the Preds a bit more jump in their step, Jets lost their legs a bit on the bench.

When Winnipeg got the lead so easy, the natural instinct is to let up and defend. And for the team down to be more desperate. It's a fine razor thin line. But this is what happens. This is the fear if you are Winnipeg. The game is long from over. Winnipeg got to keep being aggressive. This includes the D closing the gap and even going up in the play like Myers goal tonight. Sitting back is a recipe to lose. They got to play like the are down or even. I hope this is what we see in the 2nd. And being the believer of things evening out. Score when they have their first PP tonight.

Ah, the ever impartial Don Cherry. Never once have I seen him display any bias in favor of Canada and Canadians and all that.

Hope Subban scores a hattrick and the Jets get rocked.

Glad to hear you didn’t think it was dive

Nashville already made the refs look stupid once, tried a second time, and now they're probably gunshy because the Preds wanna just dive around.

The refs have made the refs look stupid in this game. That first call on the Jets was bad. The stick work behind the Jets net after the whistle happening 2 times with no call was bad. Stastny waving his stick at Saros after the whistle was bad. If the refs don't straighten themselves out, you may see a line brawl.

Jets got two free goals. The Subban dive is what it is. You still came out on top with better luck. Get over it and keep pushing and get back into your game.

Preds try to build on the momentum and hope they can get a greasy one on Helle to get in his head.. He's been a bit shaky.
Goaltending and defense are part of a hockey team. The Jets were “gifted” 2 goals because of the Preds poor play. The Preds were gifted a power play via Subban’s swan dive.

So you would have been ok with that if it was against your team in game 7? I would hope not if you call yourself a hockey fan.

I wouldn't be happy but equally bad / worse things happen all the time. The officiating is terrible.

Fair to complain about it and I hope Subban gets a fine or even a game but stuff like this happens all the time. Obviously hard to see it that way if you're deeply emotionally vested in it.

I'd definitely be fine if one of our players got away with it. That doesn't make it good hockey though.
Well whatever that means.

He got his team a power play, it's pretty black or white. If that is good hockey or not, is kinda irrelevant.

To those who think that was a legit call on the PK crosscheck: Had a Pred player did that exact play to a Jet player and the ref called it with Winnipeg up 2-0 would have you said to yourself that it was a fair call?

Unless I missed something a penalty doesn't equal a goal. They got a goal because the Jets played poorly. His dive "gifted" the PP beating their PK.

See? It works both ways.

Stuff like this shouldn't happen in a game 7, no matter who is involved.
