I also remember this being like the third game in a row where the stars gave up an early lead and brought it back with like 3 or 4 unanswered goals. Still makes me tear up watching it all back. What a game.

[@markjohnson9455]

It is interesting watching a sporting event before COVID19 because there were so many things that I took for granted such as the perpetual existence of sports itself. I did not realize how much a big deal it is to host a sporting event until it was gone. I am glad that my favorite sport hockey has returned, but I can definitely tell the difference in the quality of play and excitement of the game. Lastly, I do not like what Tuukka Rask did to the Bruins, but I think he is partially right in that the games seem incomplete without fans.

The referees were completely unjustified in giving Perry a penalty, let alone a game misconduct for "elbowing." There was not one single example of Perry using or intending to use his elbow against Ellis. He clearly hit him with his forearm, not his elbow. All the NHL officials involved should be terminated without exception, this is disgraceful.

I can somewhat see the argeument for no misconduct (I think its pretty clear misconduct but I can somewhat see arguments he put himself in a bad position), but if you do not think Perry deserved a penalty then I can't really have a conversation with you. Look at Perry's reaction, no argument no complaint he knows he deserved it.
