Dawson Mercer Costly Double Minor Penalty in Double OT Against Jesperi Kotkaniemi

1. I'll be honest, I love the way Ghost literally RUNS that power play from the backend. Dude is pointing out lanes, communicating, tapping his stick, see him making guys move and think faster.
   People forget that Ghost is Cale Makar's favorite player….

   Additionally, Markstrom has always had the worst body language and never provides a shred of Leadership or accountability. You can almost feel him throwing someone else under the bus before the pucks go by him. NJ needs a stud in net (who doesn't), but not one with his temperament. They'd have been better suited going after Kuemper….

2. Nobody wants to see the series end like this, but it was the right call.

3. wrong call but in the 2025 playoffs bump it we've seen a different rulebook for every series 😂😂😂

4. I don't know the rules on this. Was it deemed intentional? Or it has to be called?

5. Lots of ex-Canes players on the Devils

6. i honestly wish that wasn't called a penalty, i'm indifferent and don't follow either of the teams BUT….I just prefer not to see a series end like this 🙁

7. Thank God KK didn't lose an eye.

8. wow 😮 devils 0 for 15

9. Sorry bud its a penalty

10. Suck a fat one Mercer! Trashcan players on a trashcan team. Devils get owned and dogwalked every single series, especially by the Hurricanes.

11. Sheldon Plankton doing what he does in the playoffs, LOSE.

12. U got be in control of ur stick he didn't have raise stick after a pass

13. Definitely the right call but Merc had no intent. If I were him I woulda felt awful about that timing. Sucks

14. He could have taken his eye out. Very dangerous play. Suspension should extend well into next season.

15. PAY ATTENTION TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS! THIS IS HOW YOU CLOSE OUT A SERIES ON A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!!
    WTFU

16. he did NOT need to put his stick in the air it was a simple pass NOT a shot! what a lame commentator follow thru? LOL Careless by mercer. IT WAS NOT A SHOT

17. there sure is a lot. of refs who never played one second of hockey commenting
