Myers 5min Match Penalty: Cross check to the face of Bouchard (Will have a hearing tomorrow afternoon, 1/20)

[Hippasus]

Myers 4 games suspension, McDavid $5000 fine, Ottawa Senators lost a 1st round pick.

Ottawa has to forego its top five draft picks over the next 25 years, lottery or not.

Tyler Myers is an uncomfortably tall idiot, article 18.4b submitted for evidence.

Looks like a cross-check. Maybe a game for being a high hit but not sure why Bouchard is skating up to someone after the play to engage away from anything.

Maybe because going up to a faceoff like players do hundreds of times a day.

I mean more generally than saying you are. One thread is saying holding isnt any justification for a cross checked to the head and the other saying he cross checked him in the head because he held Peterson 30 seconds earlier.

We don't know why he crosschecked him. But we do know he will receive a suspension as he should. McDavid will get one as well .

I think the Petersson being held by Bouchard was pointed out as another call the refs missed that would’ve altered the course of events, not as any attempted justification for what Myers did.
