The little goofy things like that don't bother me - I think those go both ways. What bothers me are the last 4 (5?) blatant stick-throws, cross-checks, boardings and chargings that have been "missed" to the detriment of the Wings (and player safety!).
I think we're "due" an incident where KK blatantly elbows a guy through the glass without getting called based on all that.
Which is a DUMB way to think. Which is why it's risky to let all that other stuff slide - it stacks up.
agreed. I am pretty confused how the hit on larkin wasn't some type of penalty. It seems like the definition of boarding has changed or something because if you look at the hit on luke hughes from hathaway a few days ago....that was a good, clean hit. He didn't hit his numbers, no slew foot, no cross check. He just manhandled him and they called........boarding.
very confusing. Now, usually in the beginning of the year, penalties are much more rampant to try and set a precedence and then throughout the season, it starts to change or evolve. But this season it feels like the opposite at times.
