The NHL Playoffs are out of control #4 

The playoffs have always been about playing as dirty as possible without getting punished by it XD

That bruins game was a display of some of the worst officiating I have ever seen in my life.

My family all had a collective "I didn't hit the remote, they--WHAT?!" moment when the Hurricanes/Rangers game flipped to the Dallas Stars game for a brief second LOL

The NHL stupidly makes a point about suspending crap in the regular season, but then in the playoffs it ignores blatant intents to injure.

The craziest thing about the goaltender interference non-call on Bennett is the fact that the NHL did not deny that Bennett cross-checked Coyle into Swayman but, that the contact didn't prevent Swayman from playing his position. I'm sorry, in what world are goaltenders expected to make saves with people falling on top of them?! And before all you people say "Swayman wasn't making the save anyway" that literally does not matter. That is not written into the rulebook anywhere. The NHL can't just make up rules when it suits them.

The difference in rule enforcement between regular season and playoffs is significant, and the difference seem to increase each year as the NHL continues to crack down on dangerous and unsafe situations during the regular season. A slash is a penalty up to April. A hit to the head is a suspension. A face wash is 2 minutes. Then the playoffs come around and it all changes. It is mind blowing that the NHL allows it. Why watch the playoffs where a bunch of goons are allowed take down skilled players in ways that would render suspensions during the regular season? The Eastern teams are worse but it's not just one team or one series, it's the playoffs. It's too bad because hockey can be great fun to watch.

I’ve never watched as much postseason hockey before! So much going on in every series!!

That clip of Rod is an instant classic

Bring back the enforcer already

Panarin hasn’t whipped out the leg kick celly in quite some time… was great to see that again

If Kurtis Macdermid was still on our team he wouldn’t stand for that hit on Devon Toews. It would of been something else in that hockey rink

I think my favorite reel so far is Burns #8 checking Trocheck along the boards. He falls over and every time he tries to get up, Burns just keeps shoving him back down to the ice. I almost pissed myself I laughed so hard when I watched in real time during game 4 (Rangers vs. Canes). 😂

7:12 man even when they lose it's still all about mac and makar

I might quit watching after this year. I just don't understand the reffing whatsoever. The Van-Edm series specifically, not about the dirtiness, that happens every year. What I don't get is how soft plays are getting called and dangerous plays are getting ignored. Game 2 starts with a board on Peterson, making me think the refs will let things go, only to see a small hold result in a penalty. That same game 2 highs sticks were missed, one for either team and a goal was scored with too many men on the ice. The slew foot from Kane, and in game 1 Zadorov clearly tries to hurt Draisatl with his crosschecks to the kidneys. Today's game, we saw the same thing with the first penalty called on Draisatl barely being a penalty in the regular season, to then allow the game to dissolve with crosschecks all over the place, just to call a single crosscheck that while the stick breaks was a very weak call. Bottom line I'm scared for the stars of both teams, because at this rate we're going to see more of those crosscheck to the head like at the end of today's game.

Don't forget marchand shoving the ref and not getting suspended.

*That ending is gold* 😭

panthers 20+ PP vs Bruins 10.... add in the Non call on the goal..... league clearly is pushing for florida to win.....

I hate the Bruins as much as anyone but that no interference call was mind boggling

Bro Zadorovs voice sounds like he just hit some nitrous.

Ian Cole is an Edmonton plant

I'd like to know from the league - exactly how many newton-meters it takes to warrant a goaltender interference call.

This is a really well made video, keep it up man! I watched most of the games and you hit nearly every single memorable clip!

That was Kreider not Trocheck speakig to Lafreniere.

Worst officiating in NHL Playoff history. Period.

The officials really need summer school and need to be retrained! I know u can’t get every call right, but all season long there has been some very WTF was that moments..and playoffs have been fought with the no calls

As stated in your other Video, it's out of Control, because the Refs have lost control by not calling the obvious stuff. Call it a cross check or goalie interference, but call it! We are having a host of non-calls and where is the player safety committee, pretty much sitting out the playoffs where some players should be. How about some love for the WC where Bedard has 4 markers?! Great content as is your standard with a mix of the amazing, the serious and the lighter side.🏅

Nice. Thanks for posting.

I agree. Partisanship aside, player safety has to be paramount. Bettman has to do better

The ghost of Frank Zappa talking to Laff 😉

lol loved Zadorov chirping Edmonton

Player safety means nothing with sports betting. Corruption everywhere in governments, but fans still think sports is fair. it's not. it's entertainment.

Love your summaries! Keep it up

I just want you to know Mr. Next man Up, this is my go to for the ACTUAL highlights of games I miss! NHL and Sportsnet have really cut back on the contact and fights in their highlights for youtube monetization

Love the Dirty Hockey, just like the old days, Good Hockey.

Cole has 3 goals in the 2nd round now. One in each game so far. And all 3 counted for Edmonton! 😳 GO CANUCKS GO! 😎💙💚🤍🍻

Gotta love seeing rat on rat violence in the FLA/BOS series

I knew I wasn't crazy when I saw the brief Canes Win! during that OT.

I love these. Best recap of the playoffs, hands down.

the refs must be smoking pcp with this bruins series!

It is definitely intensifying this year. Last night, I listened to Mark Messier speak on the injury to Brad Marchand and he said if he was on the ice during that game it would have turned into a 3 hour game and every Florida player would have paid the price. He was disgusted with the Bruins players.

that ian cole goal was his third point for the oilers this series, and ofc he scored another last night

As always, entertaining af.

Tkachuk still rocking the shirt from when Kassian absolutely man handled him 😂 Need some more highlights of him getting destroyed.

The refs are awful this year… I don’t want scrum hockey, I want clean passes and good looks. Not forced power plays for free toss ins.

0:41 Ouch, 🤕

Crazy stuff !

What’s Zillow 😂😂

This years playoffs are fucking amazing, like how can you not watch NHL playoffs.

I thought the officiating in the NFL was the most crooked / bad / biased / rigged...but after watching this series of playoff hockey...I STAND CORRECTED !!!!

7:12 gotta be one of the nastiest moves I've ever seen. Didn't have to do the old man like that lol

You completely missed the dallas double hit at the end of the game.

Horrible calls stripped Lightning of 2 goals in a crucial game. Ironically to the favor of Florida Panthers. More ironically, Goalie interference called ON the lightning to strip them of a Goal.

Crazy, what some shitty calls

It seems like there is a silent ban on fighting this playoffs, and the repercussions of that are dirtier and more malicious hits/plays against players. Fighting has always been a law enforcing part of the game, and the nhl should embrace the players taking the unwritten officiating to themselves

Player touches the goaltender with his stick? No goal. Player checks player into goalie while in the crease, goalie falls over, player takes puck and buries it into an open net, Good goal… umm mf what??

The upset ppl need to realize what “materially affect the outcome” means

Its a no brainer that with Violence not accepted on any level in society...and its only a matter of time when we will see it gone from the NHL

Ian Cole scored most goals..for the Oilers.

Still my favorite NHL post game channel. I've been watching the the NHL for 56 years now except this year because I don't have cable, so no hockey for this canuck, but you more than make up for it. PS: I watched hockey in the 70s, man. This is nothing, though I am having more than a few flashbacks.

Its a sport where you can actually get away with assault and battery so anything goes. You can punch anyone in the face anytime, in the real world you would be a felon such is hockey

Sutherland!!! Can't talk about Goalies without Silovs either

Theres a reason they call it playoff hockey.

Oh I feel everyone's pain about the officiating especially watching so many Red Wings games where the officials missed so many calls. That is why there is so much chaos cuz these players know the refs aren't calling any penalties so they do cheap shots to cheat in order to get an advantage. Reminds me of the critical Capitals game we played where Copp got a high stick that eventually broke his cheek bone. Oh they stopped the play went to the commercial and guess what no penalty after the game was back on!!! I mean I thought high sticking is an automatic penalty accidental or not PERIOD!!!! We should petition the NHL or something and complain about how horrible the officials are or something 🤣 shoot I could officiate a better game give me some skates and a stripped jersey 🤣

Not as clickbaity as usual. Tricked me into watching part of this

The National Hooligan League strikes again! If anyone is surprised by this kind of play, they haven't been watching the NHL - pretty much since it started. If the league (owners, commissioner, etc.) didn't WANT this type of dirty play they would take action to stop it. To think they can't stop this kind of play is silly. Make the repercussions severe enough and the players will fall in line or be out of the league.

I have to say, that non-call on the Panthers' goal...WTH.

that's why it's called playoff hockey

Honestly i think at this point im gonna stop wearing actual team jerseys and get custom ref jerseys of the most terrible refs, and just have their name at the top with "i suck at my job" across the bottom. I wonder if they would get the message to see enough similar jerseys in the stands to start doing what they're paid for correctly.

Definition of choke? Bruins

Why not show Canuck’s frying up mcdavid

I know that the intensity and physicality ramps up a notch in the playoffs, but the amount of dirty plays and _especially_ head-hunting checks and elbows is a black mark on the game and the league needs to unfcuk the referees and start calling some of that garbage before players get sent to the hospital with life-altering injuries.

Coyle was taking himself into his own goalie already cmon

Trocheck taunted Aho because rangers scored on that rush to take the lead not from a penalty call

2:05 Rangers scored here, he wasn’t celebrating a penalty!

Oh, we're calling it The Michigan again? I think networks have an aversion to that, probably because of some stupid branding money-related who-the-fuck-cares. Or maybe because there are Buckeyes fans at the networks. I saw the original The Michigan live, so it'll always be that to me. "The lacrosse" is lame.

Well not enough Vancouver - Oilers coverage to say the least. 😅

The NHL playoffs are the best thing in sports and the most intense. Sometimes guys cross the line, it's always been that way.

Bennett v Marchand: Missed roughing call? But there is no way that punch is an upper body injury. My Bet: Boston is hiding Marchand's concussion protocol, OR, that punch did nothing and Marchand injured himself. Bennett goal: Bennett never touched the goalie, Coyle was sailing in there anyway. Puck was rebound off Swayman's pad, 69.7 allows incidental contact. Was there a cross check? Possible. But not called. Goal is good. Y'all need to stop complaining, and start scoring goals if ya want to win. Not a Panthers OR Bruins fan. Call it like I see it. Pretty much a normal NHL cup playoff.

How is Toronto impartial in making the Fla/Bruins calls? You’d think they are swore after losing yet again to Boston. And this coming from a Fla fan (whose been waiting for 24 years for the playoffs)

the boston VS Fla series is just.. really lame this year. Horrendous officiating paired with an even worst bruins team? They're barely putting up any semblance of a fight, putting up less than 20 shots on net for three games in a row (which is, i think, if i recal hearing it correctly from someone, a franchise record) , being outscored 15-5 in the last 5 and their inability to do.. much of anything regardless of home ice advantage or not? Not that great of a series to watch unless you really just want to see boston burn

Benn scares me

On that Bennet clear interference goal, coach Montgomery who also speaks french, told - in french quebecois - to the 2 french quebecer refs that night - to go f themselves pretty clearly. This series is a joke, as well as the one between Vancouver and Edmonton. We know Bettman wants the Panthers to win the Cup, but come one, don't make it so obvious.

at 2:04 trochek celebrated because there was a goal, not because there was a penalty

4:07 Can someone explain this?

Good video!

You never know what's really going on in pro sports leagues anymore. With billions being wagered, you never know when a bad call or a poor game by a start is just that or whether someone is earing a big under the table bag of cash...

"And some great soundbytes"... "mumblemumblemumble emotional hockey..."

villain and hero.. just a perspective

A crosschecking penalty should have been called and the goal waved off. But the refs have their marching orders. Call offensive goalie interference on Boston when they are pushed into the net (game 3). Allow a goal for Florida when a player is actually crosschecked into a goalie.

People complain about refs every years. But this year is really something else. Worst i've seen honestly

So many bad calls I've lost count. The fake goalie interference in Game 3 after the horseshit 4 minute high stick. Then in game 5, refs blow the whistle for no reason while Bruins had possession in Florida end. Just horrible horrible product.

I mean that "controversial goal" they gave a very clear and understandable reason as to why I was NOT interference... lol.

1:59 trocheck didnt celebrate like that because a penalty was called, it was actually bc a goal was just scored and trocheck had an assist

Have you ever tried to referee a game of hockey? As for Marchand, what goes around comes around. The guy has a record. So it is hard to feel sorry for him. If we are going to have trial by TV then maybe we need a mechanism to deal with these issues that periodically occur. And when that happens what will we have to complain about? If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen

your voice is therapeutic

so far everyone says that was goalie interference, why was it not called by the refs????...it easy to see it was. why didn't they call it???...what is going on here??

Boston I love but they are their own worst enemies. Play hockey forget about the penalties.

5:49 a little bit too close

i hope we get BOS vs FLA round three next year
