Almost every text conversation I'm having right now is about Leon Draisaitl. He just put together one of the most incredible playoff series of all time. 17 points in 5 games and, by all accounts, is fairly reasonably hurt. Absolutely absurd.

Quickly back to the review. The league rule book cannot have it both ways. You can enter the zone backwards but be on side because you have possession of the puck. But if you enter the zone forwards and your stick is off the puck by an inch, you don't have possession. What?

Over and above the player being clearly pushed in - the goalie is recovered and fully square to the following shot. He allows a bad rebound and the goal is scored. Being fully recovered and square to the next shot has to qualify a goal, I’d think.

Can spend 12 minutes reviewing the most fractional of offside plays to wipe out goals in a league that desperately craves offense. But the referees are allowed to guess on a minor penalty with 2 minutes to go in a tie game. Ugly.
