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.

Mark Stone to LTIR.

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.

He’ll probably try the Pronged defense of just claiming he can’t help but hit people in the head since he’s so tall.

 

[dirtydanglez]

give him 2 games as well

 

[BB79]

I'd say suspend him but why do any favors for the Canucks?

 

[WhatTheDuck]

2 for 1 crosscheck night. Both should be suspensions

It's a clever strategy by Myers. The league would have probably tried to fine McDavid if his was the only crosscheck in the game. Instead, if the league wants to suspend Myers, then to appear fair, they have to suspend McDavid.

In my opinion, both should get the 2 games that Matthews got.

Same with this thread, so some of you don’t try it in here. Thank you.
