Crosschecks...

I think this one had the worst outcome of all. Feel bad for Thompson for real. We want to beat the best version of our opponents. Hope his knee is okay.

The Gallagher one from game 1 .. he makes it a point go in and lightly crosscheck AA to agitate a situation where he can flop .. then Gallagher slashes AA arm ... then AA crosscheck him.

Gallagher should not get rewarded for trying to draw a penalty after the whistle, im sorry but he earned his rep and now has to live with it. If AA went for crosscheck, Gallagher should have offset for slashing

Habs need to focus on hockey and not straw man excuses

Caps were the better team both games

Accept it

Play better game 3

Your analysis is fine if the crosscheck is not to the head. Stick to the head should always be off limit, automatic 5

Strome lost the plot there, entirely. It's almost like he followed through with his cross check in a natural outpouring of frustration, instead of, you know...just relaxing his grip on his stick? Or simply not driving it into his goalie's throat?

Definitiely unintentional but you got keep your composure and avoid your goalie like that.

for some reason people get away with cross checks to Gally's face all the time, this is the worst one, broke his jaw and no penalty on the play (but he later got suspended 1 game)

Yep that's right, they should be taller like big bad Tommy Wilson and get crossed checked in the chest instead and just flop to the ice like they got hit by a truck

At least you know that'll get called

He won a cup so maybe he knows what he’s doing?

The amount of pearl clutching about Wilson is hilarious. Dude is as effective as ever at getting into people’s heads.

You're seriously defending a guy for flopping around and embellishing for a call. Bad look.

I dont care how many cups you have, if you pull something like that then you deserved to get called out and ridiculed for it.
