The NHL Stanley Cup Final is in full swing! This week:

  • No call on Golden Knights' Eichel for dumping Canes' Staal
  • Vegas's Stone sticks Chatfield up high, prompting an official discussion and a video review. How did that work, exactly?
  • Game 3 has two challenges against Vegas - one for offside against Howden, one for goaltender interference on Barbashev
  • A Cup Final Penalty Shot courtesy Wes McCauley! Breaking down the call and the criteria
  • Not-quite-buzzer-beater by McNabb
  • Carolina's Stankoven gets crosschecked by Dowd. It was a minor penalty - should it have been more?
  • Puck over glass! Puck over glass! Puck over glass! When was the last time a team was whistled for three puck-over-glass penalties?!
  • Breaking down the ref pairs and the stats in the Cup Final. Which pair favors one team over the other... and why?
  • What do we need to do to get the NHL to hand out some hardware to the officials? A Golden Whistle would be nice, but we have some other trophy suggestions.
