One thing is certain no matter who you cheer for. The 2024 Stanley Cup playoffs have proved beyond any shadow of a doubt that the NHL has a flat out crisis of officiating.

Almost every text conversation I'm having right now is about Leon Draisaitl. He just put together one of the most incredible playoff series of all time. 17 points in 5 games and, by all accounts, is fairly reasonably hurt. Absolutely absurd.

Quickly back to the review. The league rule book cannot have it both ways. You can enter the zone backwards but be on side because you have possession of the puck. But if you enter the zone forwards and your stick is off the puck by an inch, you don't have possession. What?

One other thing I wanted to say before it got crazy: I *love* how Holloway is playing. He wants to impact every shift. He’s skating his heart out, reloading, laying every body, winning pucks. That’s winning hockey. The offense will come for him long term with that foundation.
