Brendan Gallagher calls out Tim Stutzle, playoff eliminations continue, and more NHL refereeing controversy!

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke discuss Brendan Gallagher of the Montreal Canadiens calling out Tim Stutzle for diving after a recent Ottawa Senators game. While justified, is there anything wrong with diving to draw more penalties in a league where they’re at a premium?Next, more NHL teams have been eliminated from the playoffs, including the Chicago Blackhawks, New Jersey Devils, and Seattle Kraken. We know what went wrong for the Blackhawks this year, but the Kraken and Devils both suffered from goaltending issues that kept them from competing for a playoff spot.Plus, former referee Dave Jackson stirred up more officiating controversy with his stance that refs don’t put their whistles away in the playoffs. Andrew and Mary once more dig into the NHL’s officiating problem that continues to plague this sport.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!HelloFreshGo to HelloFresh.com/lockedon16 and use code lockedon16 for up to 16 free meals AND 3 free gifts.Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
