Bettman in 6.

I’ll say this: whichever team lost this game, they’d have a case for b@tching about the officiating. From what I’ve seen across the playoffs, the officiating has gotten noticeably worse than it was in the regular season. I guess officiating doesn’t step up in the playoffs either. 😜

The Wild were outplayed by the knights, then they went too conservative & got out possessed & outchanced. They do not have the kind of defensemen on the roster to turtle-up after banked opportunities - case & point - Middleton coughing it up for the 'L'

-on the other hand-

That tackle allowed was pretty terrible. The PP disparity was 5-2 (Knights-Wild) at that point. The tackle started near center ice & with all the way to near left corner post... so it was pretty fucking bad. I HATE hearing so much praise on Stone for the bank-shot... Even at my skill level, if I see my player up on his skates & the other team's player doing snow angels... yes, I throw the hardest pass-shot I can right at my skater that just dogged the opponent. Your guy up + theirs down + right off the goal post is a no-brainer

I say "stow the whistles" FOR BOTH TEAMS. But if you can't do that, you have to at least call the true game-altering turn-players-into backboards type of plays.

No excuse for not giving Rossi more minutes in Game 4. He’s been productive and deserves more playing time! He’s proven that he can compete against much bigger players. He’s shown a good sense for finding open ice and making plays. And, he competes well in the defensive end too.
