Honestly. This is some of the worst officiating I've ever seen in a game. It's the Stanley Cup semifinal.

Xhekaj was asked how fight with Kassian started. “I was smiling at him on the faceoff. He asked me what I was laughing about. I said, ‘You.’ He gave me a shot. I asked him if he wanted one. He said, ‘Sure.’” Asked Xhekaj if Kassian said anything after. “He said, ‘Good fight.’”

The league should be completely embarrassed with the officiating in this series.
