Myers 5min Match Penalty: Cross check to the face of Bouchard

[Dust]

Rightt.. suckering Myers to take a penalty with 2 seconds left in the game. The brains of some


I don't think Vegas would like this. They must get something outta this.

Cross check to the face. No respect for that. Suspension for sure.

Solid logic. If a player is skating towards you, you can crosscheck them in the face. I think that's somewhere in the back of the rulebook.

Why was Bouchard skating towards Myers? It wasn't to give him a peck on the cheek. If you are going to engage somebody, you better engage. Bouchard was clearly trying to draw a penalty.

with 2.3 seconds left? uhm.....ok.

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.
