I wonder too, I didn't see anything but
@DKH was at the game and must have seen something
Couple things
Live v TV
Live
The puck comes down with about 8 seconds left and I believe Lohrei gets and goes behind net seeing what Olafsson is going to do. You never know because I think at end of second a nothing end of period play Marchand went aggressively after Girard with malice. Girard didn’t like it and I don’t really blame him but it’s Marchand so know your opponent.
Olafsson body language and even facial expression seemed to convey ‘all set’ and he stood infront of Swayman for last 2 seconds as time ran out. Lauko skated over and gave him a not to subtle stick shove. It seemed and still does appear unnecessary. The Colorado players specifically McDermod didn’t like it and basically called Lauko a d bag
TV
Olafsson seconds before knocked Boqvist down at center ice so maybe that’s why. On TV if looked like a meh push but just feet away Lauko put power behind it.
My buddy I went to game with is a member here, coach and lots of folks know him he’s in our HFL League like myself - he came to the same conclusion
I did not know about the Boqvist knockdown so maybe that’s it
I thought it was BS move but because it’s Lauko and he’s on the Bruins it’s awesome (kidding)
Shit easily could have escalated and Swayman was standing there
I’m Monty I would have wanted to know what happened and probably told him he needs to pass on this if ever happens again
Remember - game 5 third period Monty puts out Lauko and Tkachuk sees this as they line up for faceoff- he switches to get next to him . Tkachuk sets him up leaning in, Lauko leans back - refs are now watching - Tkachuk little stick slash to Lauko bit of a love tap - Lauko comes back and Tkachuk goes into his Academy Award mode and Lauko goes to box
Reinhart scores goal on PP shortly after Cats up 3-2
I’m a fan of Lauko, however, he needs to understand situations and scores can be settled later on his terms
