OT: 2022-23 NHL thread….Devils & Rangers & Islanders

Just a non-involved third party enjoying the ongoing localized back and forth who has debated whether to post the clip below. The following comment enticed me enough:
Eh I mean a 56/44 split I don't think is anything noteworthy, and I have a hard time reading much into the home teams being 0-5 when the penalties called are almost 50/50. We'll see though, hopefully the refs are a non-factor.
As a Ranger fan I feel the only thing I can count on is that Shesterkin will play well, and everything beyond that is a mystery.
Interesting site on the referees.
McCauley is #1 in having the most penalties and power play goals when he refs.
McCauley is #1 in power play opportunities favoring the road team, but that is counteracted by Dwyer being #1 in home team winning percentage when he refs.
Bottom line, McCauley isn’t going to pass up camera time in a big market game 7. There should be a significant amount of power plays tonight.

I agree with that. He is the closest goalie to Hasek playing today.
In a joking way I will sum up the last couple of days.
First it is called a HOT take for a reason, not a cool or calm take.
Lastly there is a reason, **it happens is a popular expression!
ENJOY THE GAME!
Brought the kids (7yo and 6yo) for their first playoff game.
Going to be a long day tomorrow at school but worth it for a memory.

If he keeps this up, Panarin is going to find himself not too much of a Ranger fan favorite going forward.
They made it up by not calling the Ranger getting taken out with interference at the defensive blue line with about a minute left.
As a Devils fan after seeing the replay, eh.
And the ref was on the other side of the play.
Chelios Devils owed 2 calls.
It’s not bias it’s just crap officiating
Thankless job that leagues May need to go above and beyond on paying these guys and gals. Putrid officiating and umpiring ruins everything

Drop passes are bad at the blueline. They are God awful when you know Hughes is hanging at the other blueline.
NHL referees make from 200,000 to 430,000 (these guys would be at the top end). No excuse for the incompetence at the highest level of the sport.
Yeah I don't know, looks to me like the contact is minimal enough it doesn't really affect him much.
Eh I don't think paying them more would really make a difference. They're making 150-350k so I don't think any pro refs are changing careers for higher pay.
I didn't see the two calls that led to the 4 on 4, but Severson's trip was obvious and Bahl sending the puck over the glass is an automatic penalty. It did look like there may have been a missed interference on the Devils while entering the attack zone though.
Even when the kid line wasn’t scoring, they were real good at keeping possession in the offensive zone. The Panarin Chytil Kakko line is constantly pinned in their own end.
