Scouting The Refs Podcast #RefsPodcast

Plenty of action on the ice, plenty to cover this week! The NHL's Stanley Cup Qualifiers and Round-Robin play have given us a one-game suspension, a spearing fine, and video reviews of high-sticking penalties and buzzer-beater goals. Plus, penalty calls are up, a quick reminder on linesmen's duties, and a happy birthday for Devo!
