everyone complaining about refs…what about the 4 min major for the high stick on cousins that wasn't called…give me a break. the refs miss a ton of calls. they aren't doing it for one team or the other. and leafs fans need their heads examined. you got 7-2 penalties in the first 2 games and lost both at home. refs tried to help and you still lost. shut up and quit whining already
It was a high stick, no doubt, but also an embellishment could/should have been called in trying to sell the penalty. You either take both, or neither. At that point in the game, I think the refs made the right call, take neither. Not going to comment on any other penalty or non-penalty call for either team in this series, that's my take on this specific play. If Carolina is going to win, they can't rely on the refs handing them power plays. They have 3 goals in 3 games, 2 PP goals and 1 5v5 goal. That's not good enough to win.
I'm rooting for FL.. but… we all saw it. Frustrating but I think every team has to overcome a ball-breaker like that at some point in the playoffs. Good luck boys (but GO CATS).
The NHL truly have the worst officiating in all of sports. It's an open secret that they call an offence depending on who it is, what time of year, time of the game, score of the game, etc. Complete joke overall.
Hockey has to have the worst defined penalties besides maybe basketball. There should be minimal interpretation by the refs and better definitions for these rules
There have been some whacky calls/ no calls this year, but if I hear one more Canes fan blame the ref ima lose it. Being down 0-3 in a series isn’t all on the refs. Like my Avs blew it big time this year but hey that hurts them more than me lol

His cup lift from 2006 is my favourite of all
Refs didn't want that -1.5 for Florida so they axed the goal!!
There were actually two penalties on the play:
2 mns for high stick on the Panthers.
2 mns for embellishment on the Canes.

Biggest flop I’ve seen , soccer would of been proud, make hockey great again, bring back old school hockey , need the enforcer back

Wouldnt be the NHL playoffs without Brind'Amour bitchin' about something
Nobody remembered the first high stick on cousins with blood coming from his mouth that wasnt called? At least the reffs were consistent.

This whiner had a player high stick a panther in mouth with blood and got no call, wheres the crying about that

Lol i love his reaction and im a panthers fan
I swear all Rod does is complain about the officials. He’s gotten so good at it he knows what to say so he doesn’t get fined.
If it's called for highstick then call for diving as well because that was a big sell job. So no call is good.
As a islanders fan I couldn’t be happier about the non call. How does it feel
Bor leakcher and only chutiya panti
Panther's Baby… LFG
Stop your whining and starting focusing on game 4. Make sure you have plenty of chewing gum with you
How about if they take one of your up and coming stars and smash him into the ice for a concussion and nothing said
Rod is a great man and coach. Should be in the Hall as a player!

I guess when his guy high sticks Isles Mayfield in OT and it leads directly to his teams game winning goal that’s ok. What goes around comes around.
I fing swear, we need some fing goal scorers.😤
Score some damn goals and we’ll talk about the call
NHL is corrupt. Refs changing game.
I'm an Oilers Fan and love this guy! Pure class!

It looks like he never ever stops inhaling through his nose lol
what about the hit on Cousins, his mouth was bleeding and there was no call
Such a whiner
All sports results are decided by the refs in the end
You just got swept doesn't matter
Always respected Rod as a hockey player. Guy was a warrior but how many times did he brake his nose.
