Nothing like playoff powerplays! The NHL - it's FAN-TASTIC!
At the start of the playoffs, I was all for the crackdown and biting my tongue. But we're far enough into it and I've seen enough brutal calls and non-calls (especially in OT costing) that the players clearly do not know what is a penalty. And you 've got to love how it's a special-team clinic when Bettman is in the building.
Why can't incidental contact be just two guys fighting for the puck? Don't look for a penalty if it isn't there.
I'm very disappointed in this year's playoffs. And this has nothing to do with the Flames' performance; I've watched several of the other series as well.
