Why have an instigator penalty if Kovacevic isn’t going to get one here? Cuylle has to answer for the cleanest check in the book? #NYR

Brind'Amour on all the penalties: "There's just no flow. We didn't grow the game tonight, that's for sure, but I think it's a good game for us because the offensive guys realize that, 'Woah, now we've got to getting going here.'"

The @NHL season begins tonight. Before the first goal. Before the first save. Before the first highlight. It all begins with a puck drop. And an official ready to make the call.. Good luck to all NHL officials as they begin another season on the ice. #SayYestoOfficiating

Filip Chytil gets his feet tangled up with referee Riley Brace and goes hard into the boards. Brace seemed to get the worst of it, but Chytil has left the #Canucks bench.
