Calling the game more strictly would almost certainly benefit players with superstars and would result in more "haves vs. have nots." But I bet it would capture the public's attention more effectively. It is a bit odd that none of the players who are finalists for the Hart trophy nor any of the three coaches who are finalists for the Adams award are still alive in the playoffs. (Hell, by my count, only 4 out of the 24 finalists for any of the awards are still playing, which is barely above the percentage of teams who are still playing.) The NFL has a Super Bowl featuring Mahomes, Kelce, Hill, Jones, and Mathieu vs. Brady, Gronk, Evans, and Suh. The NHL is headed for...Fluery and Stone vs. Hedman and Vasilevskiy...I guess? |

The one penalty I remember on MacKinnon was a two-handed baseball swing at his quads when he was in the slot, and it was in game 1... and you wonder if him and McDavid, coaches, etc; should turn into a bunch of crybabies about every little thing, since it seems to work for the Knights. |

It is like that at all levels, the refs almost feel obliged to make the game close/entertaining at lower levels the skill gap is much wider and it can be blatantly obvious , I even had ref pretty much tell me that because I was a stronger player he wasn't going to call anything .

Yeah this is basically going to be Vegas sending waves at Price and MTL just trying to flip the puck out to center ice and changing lines.

But MTL isn't doing a very good job of keeping VGK from entering the zone with space and speed. that might bite them in the ass her shortly. |

Always happens hen you start playing not to lose , spending time in Vegas zone would help at protecting the lead
