I don’t understand how Benn gets a penalty here. That’s not bias talking either. Can someone explain it to me?
Plane-Buyer
Looks like it should be 2 mins interference/roughing on the Colorado guy from this clip, nothing more

Refs are smoking something fierce in the Mile High City. They’ve been absolute dogshit this series. This is like the 4th time there was a blatant call on Colorado and they made it 4 on 4.
Roulack
Refs are just all around dogshit this playoffs is what I’m getting so far

Looked to me like Benn felt marginal contact from the defender and took that as a free pass to truck the goalie. I’m ok with a goalie interference call.
If it was someone other than Benn I might give them the benefit of the doubt
corndog161
Well yeah you can’t do that. Both of them.
Nier_Perfect
The reff in the back making the call is at a different angle from us so from his view he thought the Dallas player purposly charged the goalie. He then called the obvious roughing by the Avs. It’s an even out call that shouldn’t matter at all considering how terrible the Avs are playing.
Casual-lad99
I cant be the only one who’s thinks that’s the right call?
He runs into the goalie (goalie interference) and then roughing afterward
bored_person71
There’s been a lot of falling on weak hits and going full tilt into goalies instead of preparing what to do as you shot the puck 5 feet away from goalie and now impacting the goalie…it getting ugly that speed rush and goalie contact is going to be considered you trying to run the goalie this year…lots of playoffs left lots more scrums ahead over this stuff..
AVgreencup
Uh, yah Benn drove into the goalie. That’s interference.
Habay12
Comically terrible call. Benn was shoved into Georgiev and then cross checked repeatedly while on the ground.
These refs are fucking useless.
KirkJimmy
Goaltender interference and roughing. You can’t skate into a goalie when the goalie is in his crease. And you can’t punch a guy in the back of the head as he is lying in the ice.
CynicMV
That’s fair. Goalie in the crease, you can’t touch him unless you’re clearly shoved in. Don’t think that counts. Tried to avoid it so not a major, but just a 2 minute minor.
Then of course there’s the roughing after the whistle.
-Robrown-
That is the correct call. He makes no effort to avoid running the goalie and then is pounced on and punched multiple times. That’s 2 minutes for goalie interference and 2 minutes for roughing. Good call refs.
daystrom_prodigy
I don’t agree with the initial call.
I think people are letting their biases show here.
BRK1986
Refs are doing everything they can to keep the Avs in it and make things interesting.
surlystraggler
Obviously the right call. I don’t have any problem with Manson taking that roughing call in this situation either.
MightyMaxyPad
Pretty soft call. Mason is shoving him into the tendy and you can see Benn tried to avoid him tripping a majority over his outstretched pad. Mason’s a coward, if I recall, Benn got 3 games last year for something similar to Mark “The Spleen” Stone.
Seen the Bruins bull rushing Bob and getting nothing all while not getting touched. Oh well up 3-1, close it out at home, boys! One line wonders can’t do anything against an actual contender.

F’n paying for ESPN+ just to watch Hockey and have missed around ½ the Playoffs still. Don’t understand why they will not show the games they have televised on their TV station on their app. Only app from a Corp that has live television channels that doesn’t show what is on their channel, in my experience at least… and it’s quite annoying. Is there a way around this? Or do I have to miss half the playoffs because I don’t pay around a $100 monthly for a sample sized television package?…
OliveandOnion
And YET, pretty much the exact situation with the Bruins Panthers game the other day, Lauko is the only one penalized. Smhf

Refs make bad call: WTF?!
Refs make right call: WTF?!
Refs make no call: WTF?!
Talking_Goat69
Benn was DEFINITELY going in there to be a menace. Maybe wanted a little contact with Gorgie at the end of the period to ruffle the Avs feathers. That push in the back made him get a little more contact than he planned. Good calls by the refs. Avs played chippy all game. Dallas held composure. Without Nichushkin it’s going to be tough.
JiffTheJester
Jamie Benn should always get the penalty. Guys a fuck
MikaylaNicole1
It looked like Benn toe-picked and/or felt the hand of Manson on his back and used it as a pretext to run Gorgiev. I didn’t see a push by Manson; it actually looks like Manson backs off to avoid pushing Benn into Gorgiev. As bad as the refs have been these playoffs, I actually think this was the right call on both penalties.
For those comparing it to Boston-Florida, the significance of that shove was the resulting goal that was upheld despite the rule clearly stating it should’ve been overturned. The penalty, if one would’ve been called, would’ve been due to creating a scoring opportunity because of the play. If anything, the comparable would be more akin to Lauko’s penalty in game 3. The distinctions between this and that was this one, Benn isn’t visibly pushed into Gorgiev the way Lauko was to Bobrovsky, and Ekblad wraps his arms around Lauko to prevent his ability to avoid Bobrovsky whereas Benn makes no attempt to avoid Gorgiev despite not being limited by a defender wrapping him up. If you watch the replay, you can see Benn clearly catches an edge and then goes barreling into Gorgiev as well. Where Lauko’s shouldn’t have been a penalty, this one definitely should have.
And for anyone who says bias, I hate both the Avalanche and Stars equally.
mmpa78
Aw yes the penalty for losing an edge while skating full speed a foot away from the net while trying to maintain control of the puck with a defender up your ass. A classic
Ryansmelly
Only penalty should have been on the Avs. The stars player was pushed into the goalie, and then piled on afterwards.

There should only be 1 call here, GI.
