They're all over it.

They're worried about it, and they should be.

It's bad.

Every year we get a reminder of how ferocious the playoffs are, but we also seem to get a reminder of how bad embellishment can be.

I really don't like it.

And it says to me that the officials are getting notes about it.

And we also talk in the Minnesota series about how we affected, how we think it affected some of those calls.

And I'll leave it to there.

But McKinnon getting nailed for that.

Like I thought in the Ottawa game, I didn't like the penalty, the interference call on Bathurston.

If you were watching Ottawa, Carolina,

It was a face-off play.

Bathurston swings around.

I can't remember who he tripped.

I think it was Martinuk, actually.

Martinuk was trying to go out to the point, and he trips over Bathurston, and they call interference.

And I didn't like that call because if you go back to Montreal-Tampa and the overtime winning goal in Game 2, Doc is trying to get out to the point to Moser, and Kucherov puts a stick on him.

And it could be interference.

And I remember asking Kevin and Jennifer, who I was working with, do you think that's a penalty?

And they were both like, no, that's a face-off.
