It was a blatant penalty. There's no convincing them so I'd just move on.
5 minutes for a hit to the head, but not for boarding.
"A penalty shall be imposed on a player who interferes with or impedes the progress of an opponent who is not in possession of the puck"
It wasn't even boarding. It was interference. Smith got 5 minutes and a game misconduct for interference. Ridiculous.
Oh man I thought Miller was burying that
Would've been a great finish off an unreal setup by KreidsOh man I thought Miller was burying that
Yes, and that's why I say it could possibly have been called interference. That type of play happens often though. The outcome was bad. No way it was boarding.The Ottawa player also interfered. Two players who didn't have the puck hitting each other and Smith gets a game misconduct.
Both players didn't engage. Look at the replay.what if both players engage?
The sauce was too saucy.Me too, from that angle it looked like a tap in.
1st star of the game goes to everyone involved in that 5 minute PK
