It's this. Sticking your leg/knee out to slow someone down is the definition of kneeing. Intentional or not, it's a no go if your legs are nearly extended out as far as they can, which this guy has in this scenario. You get him with your shoulders, or you let him go and stick check. This guy is a f***ing moron, and he refused to answer the bell and Xhekaj came calling. Not only is he a f***ing coward, the next time the leafs and Habs meet in the regular season, I guarantee you there will be a response and this f***ing ahl nobody loser will be the reason any leaf gets hurt. All because he can't just drop them for his bullshit "hit"
