In case anyone wants to stew about refs more. From TheAthletic:

Anyone who watched even just one period of the series knows how ridiculous that is. You don’t keep McDavid to just four points in four games without committing some crimes along the way, especially with arguably the shallowest defence group in the playoffs. But it didn’t matter if McDavid was held, hooked, tripped, kneed, mauled – which he repeatedly was throughout the series – because the referees looked the other way. Rachel Doerrie, formerly of the New Jersey Devils, rewatched every McDavid shift for the series and counted “over 30” infractions that were missed, which sounds about right based on my own live viewing. McDavid earned zero.

Rachel Doerrie @racheldoerrie
I watched every shift he played in 4 games. I counted over 30 infractions against him. The fact he didn’t draw 1 speaks to what the NHL wants from its officials - and it is not good for the game.
If your solution is McDavid needs to change his game, you’ve lost the plot.
The solution is the NHL needs to mandate the rule book be called and if 97/87/29 draw 8 a night, then so be it. Others will have to adjust or get better. You can’t punish the stars.

The funny thing is this isn’t new. This actually happened last year, too. Four games against Chicago in the play-in round, zero calls. That’s eight straight playoff or playoff-adjacent games where the referees watched McDavid battle through constant abuse and essentially said “suck it up.” This is, of course, The Playoffs, after all.
...
This past season McDavid took 1,182 shifts, drawing 29 penalties. That means that, based on the standard set for his play, McDavid had a 2.5 percent chance of drawing a penalty on any given shift this season. Already that seems ridiculously conservative, but again, that’s the standard. McDavid took 121 shifts in these playoffs over four games. Based on a normal distribution, the chances of drawing exactly zero penalties over a four-game series is just five percent. Not impossible, but highly unlikely that it happens by random chance. We can all use our eyes to see that “random chance” and “ignoring it” were the same thing in this series. McDavid had an eight percent chance of earning six or more calls over the series – which he had every single right to earn.

It's pretty pathetic and the only way it changes is McDavid himself has to say something. The coach yelling at the refs won't do anything. The Oilers brass complaining which I bet they do, won't change anything. McDavid himself has to say something to embarrass the league. He has to not take the high road like he does and call out the league. Call out the fact he was kneed. Call out the fact Demelo low bridged him which was EXACTLY what Archibald did to Stanley who's a plug and not the face of the league. He will get fined. So take the fine.
What is the most pathetic part of the NHL's stance is they say "we want the players to decide games, not the refs". Well the refs are deciding the games by not calling stuff. When a player is allowed to tackle a player as was the case with Leon that happened last game then physically LAY on Leon but not calling that, you the refs are impacting the game. Laying on top of a guy not letting him get up isn't playing good defense, you are allowing cheating.
