He never grabbed Oshie. He went to play on the outside, came back in and gave him a small cross-check. Oshie lost his balance and went awkwardly into the boards. As far as dirty hits, it's not even on the radar this playoffs. It was a nothing play with a terrible result, sadly. 2 minutes for cross-checking. Wasn't small It's also a cross check to an unsuspecting player which is a major penalty, according to Sportsnation who had several angles of the incident. Half of the playoffs is cross-checking, and I'm not sure how one is to deduct unsuspecting. He was in Oshie's hip pocket on that play. Perrault cross-check ROR in a similar fashion closer to the boards in game 3, and I believe that's where his black eye came from, but I'd never call for a suspension over it. It was also a 2 minute minor. What it comes down to is Oshie has terrible balance. He would fall down all the time, without even being touched, as a Blue and often does the same in Washington. People think he's a diver, but he really just has poor balance. He got hip checked by Letang one time and did the splits on the boards. I've never seen anything like it, it was a miracle he wasn't injured. But it was also the most awkward I've ever seen any human being go into the boards. If it were Ovi or Kuz or someone else with better balance, they wouldn't have gone down, much less into the boards like that. I love Oshie, he's one of my 3 favorite players in the game today. He was one of the most well-liked players in this city in the last 25 years. He's a gamer, he's hilarious, everybody loved seeing him lift the Cup. But his balance has always been laughably bad, and that reared its head here. Unfortunate he got injured, but Foegele wasn't doing anything other than playing playoff hockey here. This wasn't like what Brayden McNabb pulls or Kadri's hit or what Tom Wilson does in the pre-season. This was a completely innocuous hit.

The Leafs have been 56% on the PK in the playoffs, which is dead last.
They scored an early goal and grabbed momentum and immediately handed it back through two dumb penalties and an inability to kill them.
They didn鈥檛 recover from that.
It鈥檚 incredible how this team is both so skilled and so poorly equipped to deal with the playoffs at the same time. It鈥檚 maddening to watch.

Yeah, I'll take the jersey out and wear it for Game 7 I'm calling it right now: Sharks are getting payback for last year on Tuesday night. Vegas needed to beat them here and couldn't get it done. I doubt they pull it off on enemy ice.

One thing I know about playoff hockey, is the team with the hottest goalie goes very far.
Is Martin Jones heating up?

Looks like we're getting this series back to Washington for a Game 7.
Whether or not Carolina will show up remains to be seen.

Pekka Rinne is officially no longer allowed to have "too good right now" after every mention of his name.

3 out of the 4 division winners have bitten the dust. Only one left is the Caps. Their fate will be determined in Game 7

I've watched next to no hockey this season, yet I feel confident in saying that the winner of tonight's Maple Leafs vs. Bruins game will have to be considered the favorite to win the Stanley Cup.

The untrained eye test says the Sharks are in deep trouble. Am I on the ball with that assumption?
