And the other games last night:

Recap: Close game gets away late as Bruins drop Game 1, 5-1 - Stanley Cup of Chowder
Yeah, it went sour.

Kings Draw First Blood - The Copper & Blue
The Kings take Game One 4-3 off a Mike Smith gaffe

Game 1 Recap: Poor special teams earn Minnesota Wild loss in Game 1 against St. Louis Blues - Hockey Wilderness
Also, Ville Husso and David Perron, they also maybe had something to do with that loss.

Trying to imagine the Leafs losing 5-1 and having the nerve to call it a close game. Anyhow, in other news you might have missed, the Jets are cleaning house:

Hearing #nhljets are planning a complete overhaul of their coaching staff: interim coach Dave Lowry, assistants Jamie Kompon and Charlie Huddy are all not returning.

Huddy had been with Jets through numerous head coaches.

Sounds like Wade Flaherty will remain on staff.

But they aren’t starting at the top:

On top of some fascinating comments from Mark Scheifele, @WiebesWorld reports that #nhljets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff has been given a 3-year contract extension. https://t.co/ueOx6OiOTu

The Flyers are making moves:

And the refs have clearly been given new instructions. Remember when there was no problem and that was the media just making it up?

Whether you like more penalty calls or fewer whistles, we've noticed tonight - as have many of you - that each game appears to be called consistently tonight.

Good work by the officiating team to calibrate and stick with their respective standards.

Now let's keep it that way
