Brendan Gallagher calls out Tim Stutzle, playoff eliminations continue, and more NHL refereeing controversy!

On this episode of The Cross-Check NHL Show, hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke discuss Brendan Gallagher of the Montreal Canadiens calling out Tim Stutzle for diving after a recent Ottawa Senators game. While justified, is there anything wrong with diving to draw more penalties in a league where they’re at a premium? Next, more NHL teams have been eliminated from the playoffs, including the Chicago Blackhawks, New Jersey Devils, and Seattle Kraken. We know what went wrong for the Blackhawks this year, but the Kraken and Devils both suffered from goaltending issues that kept them from competing for a playoff spot. Plus, former referee Dave Jackson stirred up more officiating controversy with his stance that refs don’t put their whistles away in the playoffs. Andrew and Mary once more dig into the NHL’s officiating problem that continues to plague this sport. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Tune in twice a week for The Cross-Check NHL Show, where hosts Andrew Berkshire and Mary Clarke bring their distinct perspectives as NHL writers to the forefront. This isn't just a recap of last night's scores; it's a deep, analytical dive into the stories that are actually shaping the league. Every Tuesday, they take the week's most talked-about narratives-whether it's a surprising trade rumor, a team's sudden slump, or a player's breakout performance-and hold them up to the light. They cross-check popular opinion against their own sharp observations from watching the games and, crucially, against what the underlying statistics reveal. You'll hear conversations that move beyond hot takes to find the substance underneath. Then, on Thursdays, the scope widens with insightful interviews. Andrew and Mary are joined by a rotating roster of special guests, from analysts and insiders to former players, who are among the smartest minds in hockey. These discussions provide even greater context and expertise on the evolving landscape of the sport. Produced as part of the Locked On Podcast Network, this podcast is for fans who crave a more thoughtful and nuanced understanding of the NHL, where instinct meets evidence in every episode.
