Smith faszsága volt, teljesen felesleges. DeBoer már egyből nyilatkozott, hogy kamu volt a kiállítás és hogy egész meccsen erre játszottunk.

"Just a soft call. But I can't even blame the refs. They're fighting through the embellishment of grabbing your face or falling down or dropping your stick every period. I can't even blame the ref. They fool them on it."


Mikko Rantanen on the penalty in OT: "I was trying to get out to point. It's all over the league: the call is if you slash the other guy's stick out of his hands, it's always a penalty. I'm a pretty strong guy, so I can hold onto my stick, but that was a pretty hard slash."
