A midseason refresher on some rules, including a high stick from Montreal's Matheson, a goal from Arizona's Schmaltz on a displaced net, and a missed interference call on a sneaky Malkin stick push, along with a fine to the Coyotes' Valimaki, and an officiating injury update.  Todd and Josh also review a penalty call on the Jets' Schmidt that appeared to come via review -- and what exactly caused all that confusion, and how the NHL and the refs can fix it.  C'mon, stripes, get on the mic!

Penny for your thoughts? Panthers head coach Paul Maurice is out $25,000 for his. Pittsburgh's Mike Sullivan also vents his frustrations, Ovi hammers Pageau, Gudas called for a charge, Matheson's 'reverse hit' goes unpenalized, a Panthers goal stands despite Tkachuk in the crease, and a Kane vs. Kucherov battle draws a mysterious review and injures a linesman at Lightning vs. Oilers. Plus, Todd and Josh revisit the debate about officials taking accountability and facing media availability.

The Oilers get called for a Too Many Men penalty with five skaters on... wait, what? We recap a busy Thursday, with three goalie helmets coming off - one resulting in a penalty on the Stars' Oettinger and a goal against the Coyotes' Vejmelka - a Wings goal denied for a kicked puck, a Sergachev sucker punch, a Keller cross-check, Matt Murray tests his net, while another comes off the pegs on a good goal for Vegas against the Panthers.

It's an international incident as Team USA has two goals overturned against Canada at the World Juniors due to goaltender interference. We take a look at the two plays and the IIHF rulebook. That's using your head as Caps' Strome scores off a bucket, Zegras breaks his stick then steals an opponent's -- you can't do that -- Boston's Brad Marchand gets called for a stick slam, and nothing coming for Draisaitl's slash on linesman Ryan Galloway... and don't forget to #VoteForWes!

The Toronto Maple Leafs are out $125K for comments 'demeaning to officials' and some questionable travel plans. Linesmen Chad and Cody Huseby made their unexpected NHL debuts, a major for Canada's Dean at the WJC, Wild's Shaw sits for kneeing, Flames' Weegar hits Oilers' McDavid with no penalty, and - now boarding - Kings' Fiala on  Newhook... plus, a New Years' Resolution for the league.

Heading into the holidays with a look at who's been nice - Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar, for sure - and who's been naughty. Toronto Maple Leafs forward Michael Bunting has a run-in with linesman Dan Kelly, San Jose's Hertl's stick gets him a seat for two, Lightning's Sergachev delivers a $5000 slash, Jersey's Haula called for a stick toss, and the dreaded 'intent to blow' no-goal call from Bruins/Panthers...  Plus, a ref reminder on a hot mic.

It's a busy week for the NHL's Situation Room and the Department of Player Safety.  Controversy in Edmonton at the Oilers' McDavid is ruled offside after an overtime review. Todd and Josh break down the play and the rule, along with suspensions to Buffalo's Jeff Skinner, Seattle's Jamie Oleksiak, and Pierre Engvall of the Toronto Maple Leafs.  We've got no penalty, no suspension to Reaves for a devastating hit on Detroit's Hronek and a deep dive into stickwork, from penalties for broken sticks to calls for sticks slashed out of opponents' hands.

Can we work it? The Isles' Matt Martin makes the NHL's Situation Room back it up, flip it, and reverse over two minutes of action.  We've got the Rangers' Trouba trucking opponents and avoiding calls, Panthers' Tkachuk going spearing, linesmen hit by pucks... again, referee Chris Rooney on the mic, displaced net goals (and no goals - we'll break down the rule on that one), along with goalies behaving badly with Blues' Binnington and an OHL goalie fight that resulted in suspensions.

The fans didn't throw hats - though they did throw garbage - after a hat-trick of disallowed goals ended the New Jersey Devils' winning streak. Toronto's Giordano scores on a displaced net, Vegas loses a goal that hit the camera, Makar's questionable-yet-costly interference call, plus two linesmen struck: one with a stick, and one with a puck!
