These playoffs as being ugly for the league, they need to change the way the referee hockey games. Seems to me the best rule-breakers not the best hockey team will win the Stanley Cup. GROSS NHL fix your game.
That looks like a, you f@#$ around and find out moment to me. I'm good with a non call or matching penalties. I really doubt the spear happens if the cross checks don't occur.
It appeared to be pretty obvious that with the oil down 2-1 in the series but hitting 51% on the PP that the league needed them to get some early PP opportunities. How else do you explain the blatant crosschecks by Kostin to start this that were not called. Let one go OK, two is borderline, three needs to be a call. Later in the first, even oil fanboy DeBrusk said that the call for a poke to the hands of McDavid was weak.

Kostin crosschecks him so many times lmao
Kostin should have got 2 for cross checking but that should have been 5 for spearing
cross cross spear dive
Kostin could beat the crap out of him😬 if only they werent up 4-0 haha
How do you miss 3 cross checks and call a soft slash like that with such an obvious dive?
2 for kostins crosscheck and 5 for spearing
Just like everyone else here, it was spearing not slashing & cross checking on Kostin.
5 spearing

Blatant spear. Since it was only called a slash, should be a fine as well.
Not a slash, a spear.
poked him in the nuts? 0:29 lmao ouch
Thats not a slash .. that's spearing. EZ suspension for player safety to hand out.
A slash??? clearly a spear.

Looks like a kid acting tough and as soon as the other kid touches him, he fall down crying. Looks kind of funny
thats a classic "2 minutes retaliation penalty, don't do my job for me"
then do your job.
Nice flop
Yes it was quite a slash but for the amount of cross check in the back he gave him its deserved kostin is just a height abuser
