Re: NHL 2018-19 Part 1 - No power outage in Toronto this year!!
Again, look at the nominal results of major penalties.
Normally, they don't score, so even getting one is above average. So allowing for SJ's better play getting them 2 would make sense.
But SJ matched the record number of goals during a major. To conclude that is 100% SJ, I think, is not valid. And seeing the post game reaction tells me that the team was bothered by the call.
Sure, they managed to reconstruct their play after the penalty, and tied it up. But I still contend that they let the ref get under their skin, which had them under perform at the same time that SJ was over performing. Result was a record tying amount of goals during a major penalty.
