Panthers get next two penalties.
Tough rebound. Skinner looked ready to steal this game before the bad penalties.
Exactly
Nurse literally kicking Barkov’s leg out from under him right in front of the ref and he’s angry at who?
Logan Thompson got one (and four third place votes) and played 43. My lukewarm take, as someone who voted for the NHL awards exactly once, is that reporters shouldn't vote for awards, let alone the Hall of Fame.
Anthony Stolarz got a second place vote for the Vézina. He played 34 games.
