Its not usually trash like this in Dallas, editors messed up with it badly this time or something. Very unpleasant to listen. Edit: audio and picture quality way better in the official highlight video so this is on Sportsnet or smt. Fix your quality plz!

[@PattycakeStudios]

All of the ESPN broadcasts this post season have been trash. Timing not lining up between camera switches. Arena audio suddenly going out after a loud noise, similar to a limiter kicking in when the settings are all wrong. Disney can't do anything right.

Cale Makar's shot for that second goal, wow.

[@THEDOCO13]

the absolute definition of a deceptive shot.

[@bunsw2070]

It deflected off the defenseman's stick.

[@BodyofWater_]

Why was the high stick on Rantanen not a double minor when he was bleeding? I’ve never seen them give anything less than a double minor for a high stick that leads to bleeding

[@aaron_vdp]

hey at least you even got 2 mins, they called NOTHING on McDavids High stick on Hughes then told him to leave the ice cause he was bleeding from it....

[@soulknife20]

I think it's because Rantannen wasn't bleeding at that moment.

[@SS-iv7wv]

He was bleeding from the nose, the cut would have to be from a stick on his face. If you had a double minor every time a bloody nose happened you'd have a lot of double minor and that's just not how it works.

[@flipflopping]

CORRECT. Instant double minor. Only thing I can think of is that he may have had a pre-existing wound that might have opened up, but I may be reaching a bit, here.

Alternate Captains, not assistant. The team Captain is Gabriel Landeskog, who has unfortunately been out with an injury for all of 22-23 and 23-24. Not wanting to officially strip him of the C, they choose instead to skate three A until he returns. edit: Tiggers don't like typos.
