Because they didn’t have enough PP opportunities already?

He’s right, of course, but its a terrible irony that he plays for the Rangers, who have one of the worst power plays around. The denial by NHL officials is simply blatant lying.

The lack of interference calls are the most blatant. And its been the case all year- not just at the end and the payoffs. Not only d-men actually physically slowing the offense chasing the dump-in- but also cutting into the offensive players lines to the puck and just sowing down. Then when it does get called your totally confused why is wasn’t called the 20 other times.

I agree.

I see interference go uncalled a lot in the playoffs. This was also true later in the year.

The refs call obvious penalties, like high sticks (blood involved), goalie interference, and delay of game. They are generous about calling boarding, hooking, and tripping unless it is obvious.

Interference? I see players dump the puck at the blue line and the defense continues to ride them into the offensive zone long after the puck has left their possession. It’s almost as if the defense is blocking for the goalie. That’s a football play, not a hockey play.
