In the regular season I would have thought it was a strict call, calling by the letter not the intent of the rule kind of thing. In the last minute of a tied Stanley cup final game that was an absurd call

10 seconds left in the game, guy tries to cut between two players and goes down. You do not call that.

Panther stadium was the loudest i've ever heard tonight

There has been so many weak calls in this series. The Barkov one was minimal contact, the Gudas one was the softest kind of retaliation.

As part of the crowd, it was way into the game and very vocal, was clearly a high level of nervousness in the 3rd.

That's a very borderline call especially given it's the final minute of the 3rd in a tied playoff game. With the amount of definite penalties that are let go, you can't call that.

How is this a Stanley Cup final and there have been 29 penalties called. Never seen anything like it in my life. Ridiculous

Interesting how all the controversial calls go the way of Bettman's favourite team.

I remember a commentator in the late 90s or early 2000s saying that no one was in trouble in the playoffs until they lost on home ice. I think the Panthers are still in this one

In Bob they trust Win or lose, glory or footnote, it all comes down to this one mans play and boy is it interesting to watch play out.

I imagine if the game had gone worse than it did it would’ve been identical to what happened in Dallas for game 3. People can only tolerate so much bs until it boils over and turns ugly

As a rangers fan, it’s nice to see good coaching in the playoffs by the panthers :/

That was totally incidental contact on that tripping call. Totally terrible call

Great game and the crowd was electric as I am glad I was there to see the first panthers Stanley cup win! Let’s go Cats!

The refs have gotten completely out of hand in this series....It's the F*N Finals, put those whistles in your pocket, my god

I get what you're saying on that being a potential scoring chance for vegas at the end, but I still think was ridiculous to make that tripping call with 11 seconds left going into OT, it's the playoffs you cannot make a game go one teams way just because he "might" have tripped someone. If it was a blatant trip sure call it all day, but that was a soft call.

Bob ABSOLUTELY stole that game!

Refs had a dime on Vegas 😂

There's just way too many penalty calls in a Cup finals for my liking. I don't care who which team they're on - A Penguins fan who remembers that all they had to do was win 1 of 2 and none of this is happening 😭

officiating is a joke the whole series. Never seen something like this. Good zo see that Florida calmed down and shows the NHL the specific finger. Now everythi8ng is possible again. Barkov better wake up now.

Paul Maurice in his post game interview was asked if Tkachuk missed time because he was in Concussion Protocol and Maurice said yes. Stephenson tripped on his own skates making a cut inward. Even the TNT Analysts said it wasn't the right call. Bob had an excellent game for sure, while Hill did not! Giving up 3 goals on 23 shots, which amounts to an .870 SV% is not a good goaltending performance. Two of the goals on Hill were on long shots and on the Tkachuk goal Hill was caught out of position making the first save and Tkachuk putting in an open net easy rebound. Hill did not handle the road pressure well enough despite what the score shows being close. Bob stepped up big time and Hill might have reverted back to being the platoon/backup goalie that he really is. Panthers should have lost this game, but they have the IT Factor which they have shown many times throughout these playoffs that can not be measured by any stats. Side Note: In Bruce Cassidy's post game interview, he looked flustered/kind of stunned that his team couldn't hold the 2-1 lead to take a 3-0 series lead.

He saw the player go down and made a trip call, clear as day. If you can't call the right person for a pen, there is no pen because you haven't seen the pen and it is just as likely the fouled player clipped his own heels and dove (which, judging from the replay seems to be the case here).

im gonna be honest, i somehow forgot to turn the game on at 8 but i watched it from the start of the 3rd til the end and man if bob keeps up playing like that and the cats keep the offensive pressure up i think they can take lord stanley

As a VGK fan, i'm glad Florida was able to take a game at home and bring some life into the finals, I think it would have been rather disappointing from both ends to have a 4-0 sweep with dominant showings from only the Golden Knights. I mean, game 7 Stanley Cup Final, going down to the wire for the cup is what makes hockey so magic

You always kindly ask for our thoughts. Okay, here’s mine. This series and the entire playoffs have been awesome!!! I hope this goes seven because I can’t get enough hockey and your channel has been part of the reason why. Thanks for your work.

Bro I’m watching it a 1:27 am 😭😭

To be down only 2-1 with the way these games have been reffed, is quite an accomplishment for the Panthers. Not a fan of either team. But i have never seen such weak calls in any playoff series let alone the finals and so lobsided as well. Let the boys play.

The whiplash on the tkachuk hit could have been a concussion. A concussion happens when the brain hits the insides of the skull and the way the hit happened its crealy possible that it could have happened. He wasn’t ready for it at all so his body being « moved » by the hit could have hit the brain that could have not followed the rest of his body at the same speed. Its especially concerning because of the way he fell right after trying to get back up from the hit and that he didn’t seem like himself for the rest of the game. I hope he’s ok, concussion are one of the worst injuries you can have in life. Great job with your Channel! I Watch every videos you make and they are pretty good! Wishing you the best! May God bless you all who are also reading this!

It wasn't Barkov with the trip

That landing is classic injury mechanism for a separated shoulder (bent arm, landing on elbow, during a fall, impact driving the arm up & away from the ball joint). Obviously we're only guessing what could be wrong (could be multiple things, including the other arm) but it's the kind of sports injury thing to be aware of in general.

The refs have been all over the place, affecting both sides at really weird times. Not fun, for me at least. 🤬

I love playoff hockey and all that comes with it. Especially after game analysis on youtube, so I keep coming back here to get some of that. You always pop up and I keep hoping every time I click on it I'll get something insightful but, no. It's shit, every single time. Very little substance and when you try to add any I find myself asking, 'is he even watching the games?'.

I want Florida to win, but I've been a fan of Mark Stone since the Ottawa days. His ability to pick-pocket other players of the puck is one of his trademarks. I'm not surprised he's leading in takeaways.

are you the same guy on the tsn vids?

I was their the crowd was really engaged, but when Vegas went up it was dead silent it was a nervous silence. But when we scored it was a mosh pit

Matthew Tkachuk is playing injured. His demeanor is off when he scored that tying goal looking as if he's in lingering pain.

This may be one of the worst calls ever. Why can't their be an investigation into the refs?

That late third period call was absurd. Would have just stopped watching if Vegas won off that and made it 3-0.

the crowd was super engaged my guy im pretty sure you just watch highlights and write down whatever olczyk says for these vids

He did go to the concussion protocol

Gary just doing what he can to get his precious Knights a cup

The officiating puts the'ick'in pathetic. Horrible, horrible calls... just about ready to pack hockey in, but I'm Canadian, I can't. 😔😔

thats an ice cream broken shoulder for sure. its called the upper protuberance .

Hockey is the only major sport that when the playoffs come, the Cup is up for grabs. 🏆 A lot of first round series' end up going six or seven games, so counting out the Panthers in the final would be a mistake.

Nope, at the stoppage with 6:15 to go in the third, Matthew was punching a guy in the face after the whistle, as usual. He was himself.

At 1:17 it's a little boarder line there the elbow is an impact point by the vegas player but it is clean but there could be an argument there

If you look at the front veiw of the hit you can see his shoulder pad is driven into his chin.

I didn't like that tripping penalty at the end of the third. Annoying when guys make super sharp cuts and are off balance and run into you, and you get the call when they fall. Yeah his foot was stuck out as he turned, but he didn't move it again, and the Vegas player cut back right into the path of his foot and nicked his foot and fell over. Great channel, cheers!

Chucky might have separated his shoulder on the fall/hit

It’s a Seven Game Series, until one team shortens it up. So far.. both teams have won their home ice games, which everyone expects. Well … until this year, where home ice has been anything but forgiving or a benefit.

Oh I did and my friends where over for it 😂

This has a home team wins every game feel to it. The fact the panthers won being minus 2 on special teams is a big deal. If they can figure those out, they still got a shot at this. Im a blues fan so dont really care, although seeing petro and barby raise another cup would be nice.

swear to god i thought the rangers changed their uniforms watching this game live earlier😭

Whiplash IS the main factor with concussions. Whether he has one or not, I doubt we will know until after the series. It's sad, but true.

Bob stole a game.

THe whiplash can definitely cause a concussion. That's why he went into protocol. But he was cleared.

When people look at a tripping called, they need to forget what they see in the replay because the refs can’t do a slow Mo replay in their head. They have to make a call at full speed and at full speed it looks like a trip

From my understanding, whiplash cannot cause a concussion (in the event that your neck snapping back does not make contact with a solid surface). What whiplash can do is hyperextend your muscles, and this can lead to a devastating muscular injury to the neck region. I AM NOT A DOCTOR and this is not an expert opinion.

That was an absolute dive by Stephenson.

The panther players have the right to that ice why is Stephenson trying to cut between 2 players that’s on him

whiplash can absolutely give people a concussion btw

I thought the Reffing was ass all around

Officiating has been god-awful

A concussion is caused by the rapid change of momentum NOT actually by hitting one’s head… fyi

Tkachuk was back to his normal self. He was taking hits and being physical, but he was also chirping at Martinez.

Tchachuk dislocated shoulder montour dislocated elbow

Chunky didn’t look right in the 2nd and 3rd. Hoping he is ok. He cats are in trouble without him!!!

So i dont follow the NHL as much as I used to but Phil Kessel is on the Vegas squad?! I guess partly because I havent kept up but also i watch your vids and havent heard him mentioned. Weird...

So everyone who beats the panthers is “blowing it”?

Eck: "The Panthers were in danger of having played in two Stanley Cup Finals without winning a single game". 1970 St. Louis Blues: "Hold my beer!"

All I hear are Leafs fans chanting We Want Florida. I hope Maurice and the boys win it. We'll see :) Both are deserving.

"would have WENT" seriously?!?!?!

Vegas has been getting all the calls. Not saying they wouldn’t have won the first two games but, BUT the reds have handicapped the panthers. They aren’t even trying to hit. It’s not playoff hockey.

TKACHUK STRIKES AGAIN!

You can actually get concussions falling on your spine weird. I’ve seen people get knocked out landing hard on their butt

I know wearing a mouth guard (properly) can help reduce the chances of a concussion....so he may have gotten a concussion

Strange to see the panthers getting penalized

The best thing said was when chucky came back he was definitely not himself you could just see it

Please include a citation regarding the comment in your video about the accidental trip rule. I've played hockey for close to 30 years and every level including one just below the NHL. And as frustrating as it can be, if your skate or stick manage to trip an opposing player (especially the puck carrier) and the ref determines that is in fact what happened, intention is absolutely irrelevant.

*Pssh* talk to STL after they get swept three times in the finals, (bonus points - IN A ROW) ;) But yeah, I would understand the frustration.

If you have to go slow-mo and check different camera angles to see if it should have been a penalty, it probably shouldn't have been a penalty. Let the boys play.

"Whiplash causing a concussion" is that a real thing? Being genuine here

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel as a Hurricanes fan, did people get this upset when Staal took that tripping call at the end of that series? It wasn't even a dangerous scoring chance like the blown Chafield no call. Vegas just didn't capitalize.

I think it’s a Barkov on the trip when the name clearly says Forsling nice ya fucking Homer

only 3 teams have come back from an 0-2 in the final. can panthers be the 4th? of course they can, but odds are unlikely. crazy comeback though.

You most definitely CAN get a concussion without any contact to the head. Whiplash like that is more than enough force. I’m not saying he was concussed only that is is definitely possible.

You mean being down 3-0 or staying alive at 2-1

Vegas always seems to get a lot of help from the refs least penalized team in the reg season not just a coincidence

It's "would've gone," not "would've went."

It's "Would have gone"))

They finally have one more win than the Buffalo Bills in a championship game.

Not a trip man he cut in

Almost in a way it’s probably better. The Panthers won that game so the Vegas Golden nights were able to win at home.

Florida throughout the playoffs have arguably looked ”worse” than the other team, but still is able to win cuz of opportunistic goals and bob.

Horrid tripping call. No shot.

I’m a panthers fan glad we got the win but I still see Vegas taking the series

"I don't know. I'm not a doctor." I'm old. Trust me. Doctors don't know. They just think they do. Doctors are the people who officially had a policy to recommend smoking through the 50s after it was proven to cause cancer in 1951. They very strongly opposed breast feeding through 1960 up until 1981 when women were being arrested for breast feeding in shopping malls and libraries. I remember that like yesterday. The doctors and cops went mental. Then the doctors tried to have laws created to make everyone take statins beginning at 6 weeks of age. The only reason we even have doctors is because Rockefeller paid for a study called the Flexner Report. In 1911 Rockefeller greased some hands in Congress and it was made law. At that time medical doctors treated people by blood letting and injecting them with mercury or lead to displace disease. And this was safer then quack medicine? Then in Germany 20 years before WWII, medical doctors began doing horrific experiments on disabled adults. When they were all dead they moved on to disable children. Then visible minority adults and finally visible minority children. Fortunately for doctors and science itself WWII started right at the time they'd killed everybody else. No joke. The Holocaust was planned, organized and executed by medical doctors. Now do you see why history gets distorted so much? It's like this with most everything. Remember this when your doctor is recommending some stupid stuff. Reality is too complicated for them.

That was an absolutely WEAK call, and if it were Vegas who committed that trip, it wouldn't have been called. Florida is just being called for everything. Every little thing. Blatant penalties, and tic tac calls. It's honestly been hard to watch, and if Vegas wins, that's all anyone is going to talk about. Like always. The officials are making bad calls at crucial points in the game, and it's just getting old. It's not WHY vegas is winning, nor why the Cats are losing, but it's certainly not helping Florida, and it's frustrating to watch. Just the inconsistency, and seriously, it feels like the Panthers have to play 100% clean all game, otherwise they get a penalty, where Vegas is getting away with a lot, and only the most blatant stuff is being called on them.

Barkov is not 42

*would’ve GONE insane…
