Tough luck but right call.
Perhaps the Hockey Gods come through and we see some 4 on 4 action.

I absolutely give up with this high sticking shit. He hit the god damn puck.
we've gotten screwed by it many times but whacking at a puck in the air is not a reasonable follow through so that's the right call.I absolutely give up with this high sticking shit. He hit the god damn puck.
Literally happened last game and we got no penalty when Jarvis got hit. I'm not a ref but that is a little frustrating.I absolutely give up with this high sticking shit. He hit the god damn puck.

NHL will look to retroactively strip him of the Lady Byng.A double minor from Slavin of all people. Just another ridiculous fluke for the pile.
Two experienced guys who should know better.
Cole and smith real bad penalties tonight.
Rule 60 – High-sticking
60.1 High-sticking - A “high stick” is one which is carried above the height
of the opponent’s shoulders. Players must be in control and
responsible for their stick. However, a player is permitted accidental
contact on an opponent if the act is committed as a normal windup or
follow through of a shooting motion, or accidental contact on the
opposing center who is bent over during the course of a face-off. A
wild swing at a bouncing puck would not be considered a normal
windup or follow through and any contact to an opponent above the
height of the shoulders shall be penalized accordingly.
