Officiating was the topic of the week in the NHL! Tim Peel made official what we all suspected: that referee's don't call the games fairly. Did the punishment fit the crime? Can any changes be expected from the league when it comes to calling penalties in the future?

Eric Staal was dealt to the Montreal Canadiens. Does this mean that they think they're a lock for the playoffs? Will Cole Caufield be joining the team?

The New York Rangers have entered the Elimination Station. After fully breaking Carter Hart, what is next for them? With a fist full of prospects, do they need to change anything to get back into the playoffs, or just keep letting Alexis Lafreniere and Kaapo Kakko develop?

The Florida Panthers lost a big piece with Aaron Ekblad gone for the season. What can they do to replace him? Has Sergei Bobrovsky finally fixed what ailed him?
