Too much to ask refs to play up to level of Kings and Sharks?
by Quisp • • 11 Comments
Probably. But in a series this close, every mistake is potentially the one that turns the series, and I would prefer it if the mistake is made by one of the teams, since they’re the ones who “win” or “lose.” I don’t think the refs have tilted the series one way or another. But they…

Kings win their sixth game in a row. Is that their longest streak of the season? Yes. It’s the longest Kings’ winning streak since they won 8 in a row last playoffs. Tyler Toffoli. TT. T2. Drew the penalty. Then made the Lewis goal happen. Trevor Lewis is in an awful lot of playoff highlights.…

Joe Thornton to Jarret Stoll: ‘Just keep your head up’ | ProHockeyTalk
San Jose Sharks captain Joe Thornton seems to think that Stoll was the one being careless. “It almost seems like the player getting hit has no responsibility at all right now,” Thornton said. “The way I was brought up was to keep your head up. Just keep your head up. When I was six years old, I was taught that.”
