Sam Bennett made a good clean check in Keegan Kolesar in the neutral zone. Kolesar returned the favour a few seconds later with a clean check on Bennett that Newley put both of them into the bench. But he just couldn’t help himself from giving an extra shot to Bennett well after the play was gone. He was correctly given two minutes for interference.

Clearly that play is not interference. Bennett is playing the puck and Kolesar is finishing the check.
50/50 on this one, the initial check is clean, but then the second one?… it is the finals after all, could let it go. But the NHL has to make the scores close, it's a fact of life in this league. e. g. if the score was 8-1 for Fla., not a chance this would be called.
This is from game 5, and that game is not representative to the previous games in terms of calls. Had the refs called these things in previous games, it's likely we'd seen an uproar of epic proportions from Florida's coach and their fans because that team would have been shorthanded quite a few times.
Where's the interference?
Couldn’t have happened to a cleaner player 🤣
Kolesar just too strong
